Re: [diesel_mercedes] O.T. : USED GASSER NEEDED

 

And Nate, FYI, while at the Monrovia PAP today, I asked the yard boss about operational cars in his sales lot. He said, "come back in the middle of the week because that is when the police impounds come in." Middle of the week maybe means Wed-Fri and $500-$1000, but some need work. But again, what is cheap?

How cheap is "cheap"?  I know where you can buy a REALLY nice Valiant with the very rare overdrive transmission.  Was Chryslers economy car in '75, and Valiants have always been a favorite with older ladies (my mother regretting selling her '72 Scamp til the day she died....)

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Not Nate's Metro

 

Great commercial.

However, I can distinctly remember when Alfa Romeo would void your warranty for using Shell gasoline...

Here's a link to a Shell commercial shown in Europe. Ostensibly, they're selling gasoline, but the cars used in the video steal the show.

Ferrari pulled several of their race cars from various ages out of storage, flew them around the world, and filmed them running through the streets of Rome, Rio, New York, Hong Kong, Honolulu, and Monaco. No CGI -these are the original cars on the original streets.

The best part is the sound - from the basso-profundo notes of the early, front-engine era, each scene cuts to a later generation, ending with the wail of a modern F1 car. The sounds alone bring a tear to the eye. Even if you're not a gearhead, this video will stir the soul.

There's just something about 3 liters and 14,000 RPM !
