    That was 215 seconds of reminding me why I miss having (or having access to) a RWD vehicle. Even if it's an old F-150 or Chevette.

    'The Hungarian Drift Community'... really proves that if you can think of it, it already exists and there's a video on the internet to prove it (although i wouldn't want try this theory out with more niche market 'indoor pursuits')...


    Nice article Peter (or should that be 'Orosz Petros'?) and cool video.

    I suppose everyone noticed the Pontiac Grand Am headlights on the Wienermobile - Pontiac = wiener, apparently.


    Great feature, but I must say that it is hardly surprising to find the Ford Sierra (on which the Merkur was based) donating its taillights to the RS200. I'm sure the European readership is befuddled.

    I have always lusted after 1999-2002 Trans Ams, and I have always been a total weenie, but I could never figure out why.


    Now I understand.


    Excuse me while I enter the realm of introspection to contemplate the broad lattitudes of my weenie-ness.

    I remember that my Dad's Lincoln Mk VII LSC had some of the sunroof mechanism parts stamped with the BMW logo. I guess they supplied more that just the odd diesel engine for those cars.

    When my Dad and I rebuilt my '85 CJ-7, we were amazed to find a computer behind the dash.


    Nearly as surprising was that the computer had "Ford" stamped on it.


    At least it wasn't Renault.

    @Foozy Ploosh Room: Similarly, it seems the only people who wanted the big flat Corrado headlights are people retrofitting them onto their Gen II Golves, Jettae and Sciroccos. Wonder why? Could it be their fantastic ability to attract highway rocks? I think it could!

    Now I have this strange desire to start an exotic car tail light collection.


    Aren't those tail lights from a Rover 200?


    Fuck you! These are Jaguar XJ220 tail lamps.


    Hey those look like the lights I had on my old 'rocco.


    Go away. Just get out of here. These are Aston tail lights and you know it.

    I wish I had one of those normal cars to sell. Put in the EBAY listing that I upgraded the taillights to use X supercar's lights.
