your grandma lives in shinagawa? (is it legal to keep the original plates?)

she lives in shawinigan which is practically the same scrabble score

I don’t know about the legality but both vehicles my dad has imported came with their original plates

Both the Ken Block and Jeremy Renner news reports reminded me of the tragic skiing accident that Michael Schumacher had, and it really makes you remember that Winter/Snow are like the sea, if you do not respect it, it can bite back hard and for good (esp. if you consider the risks that they take/took in their day jobs).

The one thing Ken wasn’t able to do was Pike’s Peak. They fielded a car last year that looked incredible but suffered engine failure before they could do the run. I really hope they still run it next year.

Watching Gymkhana 1 again is a trip. I love the not overproduced rawness of it.

May the gods smile upon those plucky underdog Mazda technicians and their bizarre creations they put out every two decades or so

A BEV with a petrol-powered wankel range extender in a hatchback-dressed-as-mild-Urban-Offroader shape is exactly what … at best 50-100 people in this world have been asking for?

:tarothink:

HELL, even moi is not entirely sure that i would want to plunge down cash for something like that, as resident wankel apologist that i am.
I would love for them to succeed, but i cannot see this re—

(wait for it, cars flying off the shelves, orderbooks closed until 2030 :flushed: … nvm, long live Mazda :servbotsalute: )

I wish ‘em luck, the wankel does actually seem like a really good fit for a range extender but real world use will tell

I find the styling to be a little off the mark but I can’t help but admit I’m intrigued. If only the wankel ran on diesel so I could power it with home-made biodiesel

Oh, yeah this car is definitely somewhere in the ugly/boring quadrant

Think i mentioned here recently that i started dipping my toes into another offroad racing game aside from WRC … well, make that: ‘Racing’, I am talking about Mudrunner/Snowrunner, picked it up because my younger siblings are playing it and i am helping out with some missions… well, so far we are blasting through the first world/area, Michigan.

And when i am saying ‘blasting’, oooooffffff course I mean taking the runner suffix in Mud/Snowrunner seriously:

Try to get the CAT CT680 asap, it is a rocketship … but handles like a fishtailing diva with proper terrain tires,

still not sure how i managed to snap oversteer plus tank-slapper-crash & land on driver’s door side, but nevertheless, would always recommend it again!

Attempting a clutch change on the box. Engine has 1 mount, trans has 2 but im dropping the trans so i dont have to discharge the ac system.
Gotta support the motor and trans seperately to do it. So many little surprises to contend with in there.
