Just look at it, it’s beautiful isn’t it? It is the last of the great Lancias, the last of Spec B rally cars. And yet, despite this vehicle being on eBay right now, this is the closest that any of us will actually get to owning one, or even seeing one in person.

These days it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find faults with the latest new automobiles. Sure, the heated seats might not warm up as fast I’d like, or the satellite radio cuts out in the shortest of tunnels. Maybe the latest economy car only runs from 0-60 miles per hour in eight seconds, but it still returns over 40 miles per gallon on the highway. We live in a time where almost every new car on the market is a solid choice. Still, not all of those choices are ones that make you take a moment and sample the beautiful lines of said vehicle’s exterior.
That’s not the case with the 2012 Audi A7.
In fact, the A7 is one of the most stunning vehicles available right now. Sure, the Porsche Panamera will blow it away between stoplights, and the Mercedes-Benz CLS is a muscle-car in an Armani tux. Still, those two have nothing on the overall visual ecstasy provided by every angle of the Audi A7.
Lines blend, wrap, slide, and sing over its every inch, and it’s almost more fun to be standing outside of it, than it is to sit behind the wheel. That’s why we’re even more excited to introduce our asses to the upcoming S7.

Today, I’ll be introducing a car from my old personal fleet. This cornflakes-powered Moskvitch/AZLK pedal car was brought over from a trip to Russia back in 1993, and it’s one of the first cars I’ve gotten my hands on. Granted, at nine years old I didn’t really fit in there, but my younger brother hooned it around the backyard with such vigour we had to swap the steering wheel for an aftermarket part later on – the original wheel was a thinner, white plastic item.
As we cleared some stuff from our old storage room and I picked up some tires, it was time to get the old Moskvitch back from the shelf and see how it runs.
So, as this olelongrooffan mentioned, this past weekend was a pretty damn awesome car show down here in Daytona Beach. There were millions of dollars of pretty awesome vehicles but this one just really struck my fancy.
I hope you all had fun during the Hooniverse Overseas Via eBay Weekend Edition that was this past weekend, because I found one last gem that was listed in the German eBay Motors Site. This is a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle that has been transformed into… I’m not exactly sure what it has been transformed into, so I’m calling it Art.
I say off with his head. My God, why would anyone ever do such a thing in the first place. This is a very rare and very beautiful 1936 Cord Westchester Sedan, a car that has received “Full Classic” status from the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA). According to the seller, this Cord started out as a solid piece, not a derelict found in the field. It may look great from the lead image, but wait until you see what the owner did to this Art Deco Bombshell…
If you read any of my posts here over the weekend, you do know there is a Hooniverse Weekend Edition by now don’t you? Anyway, this olelongrooffan got to visit the National Corvette Museum over the weekend.
Well, I don’t usually do a Monday Piece (Since I stopped doing the Classic Caption Contest that is), but I have just a bit of time to show you all this thing. This 1965 Imperial looks a little pimped out from the front, but you have to make the jump to see the rest…
Under the Modern Art Monday moniker I’ve been eager to post well-preserved classic metal – showroom fresh, that is. Even if it’s not completely uncommon to see older American cars in good, useable condition here, this Saturday sighting is one of the better-kept ones.
And with a good DSLR at my disposal this time, instead of shuffling on the surrounding ice with a phone in hand, I was able to take my time and document this Twilight Blue 1980 Eldorado Biarritz in detail.

Automodello is on a mission to bring unique machines to light by by way of scale models. In the past, we’ve featured the company’s Bricklin SV1 and Griffith Series 200, both of which were presented in 1:43 scale. Automodello continues to expand its offerings, and in doing so has decided to expand the scale of some of its latest offerings.
Kicking things off in the 1:24 scale realm, the craftsmen at Automodello have put together a stunning resin cast example of the 1938 Phantom Corsair. The black paintwork looks as evil as you’d expect to find on the full-size version, and the entire piece is a fitting homage to a legendary machine.
