comments

The folks at iKamper are looking at the problem and doing something about it in…

We get right into it… I sold the Jag. My 1986 Jaguar XJ6 with the Chevy V8 swap was offered for sale on Cars and Bids, and the auction result was awesome. The car has now traded hands and my garage is empty for the time being. It’s time to focus on the Montero and…

comments
The Kia EV6 GT cranks out 576 horsepower. It can rip from 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. And if you fancy getting sideways, there’s a Drift Mode that cuts power from the front motor. Sure, $62,000 is a lot of money but maybe not for a vehicle that has plenty of room inside, a…
