       This Wagon Wednesday entrant comes to us via our good friends in Canadia. From the streets of Abbotsford, British Columbia comes this gorgeous 1982 Mercedes-Benz 200TD W123 wagon. If you’re thinking you’ve seen something like this recently, it’s because you have. Jeff introduced us yesterday to the Wombat, a 1984 300TD (make sure you watch…

      For Wagon Wednesday, I wanted to get a look at something different, something much older than the usual fare. This fits the bill nicely, wouldn’t you say? It’s a 1925 Ford Model T… and it’s for sale. [Source: Hemmings Classifieds]

  • R.A-S.H: The Reliant Scimitar GTE

    comments

    Reliant are an interesting company to trace the history of; their product output includes, of course, the much-derided three-wheelers that sold so well for half a century. At the very opposite end of the scale, the Tamworth concern found themselves chosen by Ford to produce the bodyshells for the awesome and under-acknowledged RS200 Group B…

      In the latest installment of Hoon’s Day Out, I want to share with you some of the station wagons at the LeMay Museum. Of all the cars I saw that day, these are probably my favorite. I’m sure a certain olelongrooffan will concur. Let’s take a look at these classic wagons.

    So, my fellow Hoons, it has been three years to the day that the Hooniverse Overlords allowed this olelongrooffan a key to the vault that is Hooniverse.

  • Wagon Wednesday – 1993 Ford Taurus Wagon is another rarity here

    /

    comments

    Yes, it’s another Taurus. This 1993 Taurus Wagon follows up the bulbous 1997 sedan I saw a little while ago, and where I live it’s rare enough get photographed. Also, everything outside was so gray I fiddled with the clarity and vibrance sliders to jazz things up a bit – and that does improve the…

    comments

    Of course, by “hybrid” we mean the best kind: European design and coachwork combined with an American power-train. Sure, the angry overhead cam sixes and fours from The Continent make wonderful noises, but there’s something great about being able to pick up replacement parts at your local chain store.

    So as this olelongrooffan has pointed out previously, this past weekend was the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach show just a short drive south of TheStuccoBox I now call home. And in typical Barrett-Jackson fashion, there was something at that event for everyone, including this olelongrooffan.
