    I was in London a couple weeks ago and saw a lot of cool cars there (especially the awesome little Fiat 500), but I had to take a picture of this one: Left hand drive Mustang:



    check out the funky custom license plate for it:

    I sort-of-recognize that area. Had to look up Goodge Street, but know the general area (Soho/Bloomsbury). Not far from the British Museum.

    @Miscellanea, 1-800-CASH-4-JALOPNIK-GOLD: EU/UK law says that car has to have rear fog-light IIRC. I don't know does US spec cars have those? This is the small red one I suppose. Additional white light is mystery, could be that original reversing lights have been modified to be turn signals, blinkers as in some EU countries these must be amber and can't be red color.

    @Leeeeena the Jalopchick: Nope, just that unmistakable "S" with the tree in it. Around here, 2000 miles away in AL, people frown on bragging about your college unless it's an affordable regional school of some kind. Otherwise it's sort of like bragging about how rich you are--it may be true, but it's still rude.


    But that idea never stops the Ivy Leaguers and Stanford people, so the logo remains easily recognizable to me.

    @Manic King of Corinthia: *Most* American cars don't have rear fog lights. My Volvo does, since they had six elements per taillamp already and decided "fuck it, we'll leave 'em in".


    Most Euro cars have one red rear fog and one white backup light under the bumper.

    Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,

    A tale of a fateful trip

    That started while drinking port

    While in a coffee shop.


    The mate was a mighty driving man,

    The skipper brave and sure.

    Five passerbys were seen that day

    At a three hour lunch, a three hour lunch.


    The engine rumbled really rough,

    The tiny car was fast,

    If not for the courage of the fearless friend

    The moment would be lost, the moment would be lost.


    The car drove off around down the street of this enchanted British Isle

    With Peter

    The Skipper too,

    The businessman and his wife,

    The movie goer

    The professor and Mary Ann,

    Here on the British Isle.

    and I have a vague notion that his Hungarian will not need translating.


    What is GT40? It is supposed to be American. Some say its developers were British. Nobody believed it was real. Nobody ever saw it or knew anybody that ever drove it, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have driven the GT40. You never knew. That was its power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. It's gone.

    @wrx-TyrannosaurusWrx: I don't even understand informercial anymore. A few years ago, they'd sell something exclusively for about a year, then you'd see it at the store ("As seen on TV!"). But now, Bed Bath & Beyond carries everything the moment it comes out.


    Bottom line is this--if Vince hadn't become a campy internet celebrity, he might not have been in that kind of situation with his big ego and millions of dollars.

    I think Jalopnik should offer a service. Whenever there's a prospective job interview, any Jalop can hire a guy to roar past the boss's office in a GT40, Cobra, vintage Challenger or other massive-engined baffle-less supercar. If the boss's eyes light up, then it's a deal. Because let's face it, it's the only real way to gauge a person's worth.
