Triumph TR3A: Fountain of Youth

post from RideLust on 23 November 2012 12:30:38 PM. © RideLust

post from The Truth About Cars on 23 November 2012 11:14:19 AM. © The Truth About Cars

Bloomberg is reporting that weak demand in Europe will lead to B-Max production being cut at Ford’s Romanian plant.

Junkyard Find: 1983 Volkswagen Vanagon Steal Your
Face Edition

I usually don’t pay much attention to VW Transporters in the junkyard, but I have a friend with a Vanagon (he’s an industrial designer and decided that this VW? which I believe to be one of the worst motor vehicles ever built? says positive things about his sense of style and appreciation of good design) [...]
