There are a handful of events every year that wear the Goodwood tag. You have the Festival of Speed, which I’ve attended and loved. There’s the Revival, which anyone who’s been will say is the best. But the really amazing event held at Goodwood seems to be the Member’s Meeting. It has a smaller crowd…

Hooniverse Asks: What current new car design language makes past designs look even better?
/
/
comments
This is the all-new BMW 7 Series. It takes the current family design language and applies it to the big luxo sedan. All this does is amplify a whole bunch of things that, in my opinion, look ridiculous. The split lighting in the front is odd. The blue touches look silly. Looking at the trunk…

Hooniverse Asks: What are your good car-fix “kluges”?

comments
Rob Siegel is a wrenching icon. His efforts to keep old BMWs on the road is commendable. He’s good at it, and he’s good at writing about it. Recently, the Hack Mechanic posted a piece on Hagerty talking about kluges. This would be a repair where the goal is to fix the problem but also…

Last Call: All the CUBES but not all of the juice…

I know there was a version that got down to 230 hp. But even if this image isn’t perfectly accurate, it’s still pretty damn funny. There is an entire era of large-ass engines that are choked to hell and back so the power outputs are far less than what someone might expect. Last Call indicates the…

Hooniverse Asks: Did you ever wish you could take your own vehicle on vacation?

comments
It’s been extra quiet around here lately because I’ve had a bit of a vacation. Recently, I spent some time on the islands of Maui and then Kauai. I enjoy both of those places and the rental car I had on either one was fine. Still, I wish I had my Montero with me when…

Yep, we slacked last week… so to make up for it, we’re going to have TWO episodes this week. And I’m recording a third episode for next week when I’m on vacation. Today it’s just me (Jeff) and I’ve got some project car updates and then a story about how I’m dumb about knowing how…

The 2022 season of Formula Drift kicked off in Long Beach this past weekend. Ryan Tuerck won the Pro class in his new GR Corolla. He finished just ahead of Matt Field and Odi Bakchis. A lot of usual suspects and their wicked machines were on hand, but there was one car in particular that…

Watch these two Ford GT40 race cars battle it out at Goodwood

comments
Andre Lotterer is in the blue car. Gordon Shedden is wheeling in the silver car. One of these men is a multiple British Touring Car champion. The other is a multiple winner at Le Mans. When you talk about great showdowns, this is a prime example of that. A pair of Ford GT40s rip around…

Two-Wheel Tuesday: This old Triumph is ready to blaze a trail
/
/
comments
Triumph wanted a scambler-style bike and for two years it built just that. It’s called the T25T Trailblazer, and it was on the market from 1970 to 1971. According to Bike-Urious.com (which is a fantastic name for a site), the Trailblazer wasn’t a hot ticket item at the time due to a lame gearbox and…

comments
The 2022 Subaru WRX is the first WRX on the automaker’s new global platform, and it really helps the car shine. This WRX has a great chassis, strong engine, exciting steering, and an excellent interior. And if you want the most exciting version you …have to get it with a CVT? Oh well, the non-GT…
