The Snowbine heads to Beaulieu Motor Museum
The Snowbine heads to Beaulieu Motor Museum
You may remember the boys’ slightly rubbish snowbine harvester from the last series of Top Gear, which managed to fry innocent passers-by and put some hefty cracks in a Norwegian lake. You may also remember the double decker cars we raced against our Ozzie presenters.
Remember no more, for now you may bear witness. Both feats of engineering...

“Men hero-worship him. Women - rather more surprisingly, given his Russell Brand hair and hard little paunch - want to mother him. One female fan recently sent him a homemade marzipan James May doll. “I don’t imagine I’m any sort of a sex symbol. But there is a certain type of women who sees me in the way I see a slightly shabby Jaguar XJS. “But I’ve not quite been stalked. It’s...

So I might get a BMW...?
technogirl:
My mom found a ‘96 BMW 318i online, and told me she wants to visit it tomorrow. I was like “Mom you know it’s rear wheel drive..?” But apparently she’s ok with that because it’s a BMW… so still no mustang for me :P
But I’m super excited because it’s a convertible!! And hey its a freekin BMW, how many people get to say their first car was a Beemer? I hope I do! :D

fortunetoro:
Maybe you should sit down.
I have bad news. My car, the little rust-bucket which shall from henceforth be known as “my first car” bit the dust today. It coughed up blood midweek, spent days on its deathbed, and today was declared undrivable. By me. But hell, it’s my car, and if I refuse to drive it it must be bad.
It was one of those vehicles with character. In the 10 monthsa I...

Road Trip-- Atlanta to Houston
j-yeon:
Cindy, Shannon, and I decided to drive home in Shannon’s tiny two-door Acura at the end of this semester. This finally happened three days ago! We’ve all been through the 13-hour drive at least once before (although I don’t remember mine…), but it was our first time doing it with just friends.
I think it was agreed upon by everyone that the trip is much more bearable with just friends...

The fare would have cost $17,000 but the driver agreed to an...
