Krauser Domani, 1988. A 3-wheeled vehicle that resembles a motorcycle with a sidecar designed by Michael Krauser. However the passenger "sidecar" of the Domani was structurally an integral part of the frame and bodywork using elements from racing sidecars. The design also allowed for a small luggage compartment. It was powered by a 150hp BMW K 1200 engine driving the single rear wheel via a 5-speed gearbox. Around 100 were made for the European and Japanese market

I GOT A NEW CAR

Everybody meet the new baby that i will never shut up about forever!

This is Clifford the Third, my new 1996 Nissan Pickup!! I probably paid too much for her but given that I live in Massachusetts and she has virtually no rust I’m okay with that lol.

So a brief history of the Nissan Pickup! These trucks were released in the US in 1985 and were sold through 1997, when they were replaced with the Frontier. They were the successor to the beloved Datsun 720, which had been in production since 1979. They are in fact just called the Pickup! They’re colloquially known as the D21 - their chassis code, and the Hardbody, because of the double walled durable construction of the trucks’ bed.

The D21 was available with a couple different engines and drivetrain layouts. Mine is a 4x4 with the KA24 motor (which it shared with the 240SX/Silvia). She’s also a King Cab, meaning she has a slightly elongated wheelbase to allow for two small inwards facing jump seats in the back of the cab. Still a two door though.

AND SHE’S A STICK! She has a 5-speed manual transmission, and it’s the best transmission i’ve ever personally had in a car. She’s my third manual, the other two being a 1999 Toyota Corolla and a 2004 Subaru WRX, both of which were great but the Corolla had a really sloppy gearbox that felt incredibly vague at times, whereas the WRX had a sportier transmission that was pretty unforgiving and stiff. This one is definitive about where each gear is, but also won’t get too jerky or loud if you shift a little early or late.

Nissan Hardbody trucks are known and loved for their durability, versatility, and simplicity. They’re super bare bones but what they do have is built remarkably well and meant to withstand lots of abuse. If they don’t rust and have basic maintenance kept up it’s not uncommon for them to go 300k+ miles with minimal issues. Mine has around 184k miles, high but manageable. She also has a few modifications from the previous owner, namely a straight piped exhaust (no muffler, just one big long aluminum tube), aftermarket bumpers and lights, locking hubs, and a small lift. The guy i bought it from had plans to make it an off-roader but had too many projects and needed to offload one to make space in his driveway.

While many people either take these off-roading or turn them into drift trucks, my plan is to bring her back to mostly stock. I’m in the process of tracking down OEM bumpers and a more typical cat-back (from the catalytic converter back) exhaust system so she’s a little less obnoxiously loud. Since i mostly just need reliable transport more than a toy and she is now my sole car, I want to just make her relatively normal. But I love her a lot and am happy to be able to share!

INSIGHT Group B had completely upped the ante in 1984 with the introduction of the Audi Quattro S1. This specific Quattro was developed to flaunt true power within the golden era of rallying- and it certainly did show off as it was a monster.

The Quattro was very technologically advanced for its time, it implemented a four wheel drive system which had changed rallying forever. It also had a sequential gearbox and a water cooling system for the breaks. Furthermore, the Quattro also had very sophisticated aerodynamics which helped its performance vastly.

From 1984-1987, this car would soar through the Pikes Peak Hillclimb with three variations of the Quattro. As the Quattro was fully capable of tackling the terrain of Pikes Peak, it had won three times.

AE101 TRD 2000

In October 1994, Toyota Racing Development (TRD) introduced the AE101 TRD 2000, a highly exclusive version of the Corolla GT sedan designed specifically for the Japanese market. This model was meticulously engineered to emulate the performance specifications of the 1994 Corolla JTCC race car. Under the hood, the TRD 2000 featured a naturally-aspirated 2.0-liter 3S-GE engine, delivering 180 PS (132 kW), coupled with a new 5-speed S54 manual gearbox. To enhance its performance, TRD equipped the car with a heavy-duty clutch, a mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD), and a quick shifter, ensuring precise and responsive gear changes.

The TRD 2000's handling was significantly improved with a new suspension system that lowered the ride height by 20 mm, alongside 15-inch TRD Type-FT wheels shod with Yokohama Grand Prix M5 tires. The braking system was upgraded with TRD brakes, providing superior stopping power. A stainless steel dual exhaust system not only improved performance but also added a distinctive sound. The car's exterior featured a subtle trunk spoiler and was available exclusively in white, giving it a clean and sporty appearance.

Inside, the TRD 2000 was fitted with König Prinz P200 bucket seats and a TRD steering wheel, creating a driver-focused cockpit. Despite its impressive features and race-inspired design, the TRD 2000 was a rare sight on the roads. Originally, 99 units were planned for production, but only 10 were sold due to the high price tag, which was even higher than the cost of the Celica GT-Four ST205. This limited availability and unique blend of performance and refinement make the TRD 2000 a coveted piece of Toyota's automotive history.

Alfa Romeo 1900 SS Ghia ( 1 of 10). 

The Alfa Romeo 1900 was Alfa Romeo's first production model after the Second World War. Smaller and more compact than the pre-war 6C 2500, it featured a 1,975 cc DOHC in-line four-cylinder engine with Weber carburettors, five-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension with double A-arms, coil springs and hydraulic dampers, live axle rear suspension with trailing links, and four-wheel drum brakes. It was introduced as a saloon in 1950, and a year later the sportier 1900C Sprint Coupé was introduced with a shorter wheelbase. Alfa Romeo continued to squeeze more power out of the two-litre engine, with the Super Sprint version eventually producing 115 bhp. Ghia designed around 10 different body styles on the 1900C chassis.

Our Alfa Romeo 1900C "Super Sprint" is a very rare and unusual "concept car", built during the golden era of Carrozerria Ghia. Only 10 of these stunning examples were built, each one different from the last. By modifying the headlights, bumpers, rear lights and interior, Ghia managed to make each car unique. The particularly futuristic design was the work of Giovanni Savonuzzi, who was respected for his work at Cisitalia, where he was a designer, but soon proved his worth at Ghia and became chief designer. This example is undoubtedly one of the rarest 1900s built. For chassis number 01838, Savonuzzi designed the so-called "floating headlights", which seem to float in the air intake opening. On the other hand, the panoramic windscreen and the modest tail fins give it a slightly American touch. The engine is a cast-iron 1308 block of 1975 cc and 115 bhp, with an aluminium cylinder head, twin overhead camshafts and twin Webers. The underlying chassis and drivetrain is a much sought-after 1900SS from Alfa Romeo, the steering wheel and extremely smooth 5-speed gearbox are courtesy of Nardi, and the wheels are the original Borrani 400MMs that were sometimes used by early competition Ferrari’s.

This is an appreciation post, pure and simple.

This house loves and cherishes its E34 5 Series friends, especially 1-owner survivors with V8s and 6-speeds (yes, you read that right! The E34 530i was in fact a V8 for a time - it did start life as an I6 earlier in the generation, but late examples like this 1995 were fitted with a low-displacement V8 that delivered smoother, more linear power, and a whole lotta more smiles when paired with BMW's quick shifter and snappy manual gearbox)!

The E34 represented a lot of firsts for the 5, including the introduction of the V8 for the first time in BMWs midsize saloon, the introduction of AWD to line in the 525iX, rudimentary stability (ASC) and traction control (ASC+T) programmes for enhanced control, and rack and pinion steering in AWD models (mostly for packaging and logic) for superior driveability!

It goes without saying that the design of the E34 is one that has stood strongly against the test of time and continues to garner well-deserved recognition for its subtle cues, muscular traits, and elegant proportions. The distinctively aggressive front fascia coupled with the gentler gradation on all of its sharper corners (compared to previous generations), and the stoic, upright design of the tail end really makes the E34 a standout in a sea of bland sameness all too common for the era.

And while I personally hold the E39 in the highest esteem of design and refinement - at least as far as the 5 Series goes - there's no doubt the E34 will go down among BMW's greatest achievements of all time.

And this one is one of its best surviving non-M examples!

INSIGHT

In the 80s, Group B had a vast collection of automotive beasts from different car manufacturing companies. One of these companies included Peugeot, where their 205 T16 simply rocketed through tracks. This Peugeot in particular, model 205 T16, absolutely dominated rallies within the golden age that was Group B. The 205 T16 technically was the most successful car in Group B with its 16 victories out of 26 starts and lastly 2 world championships to its name.

A few words and a little video for interest. Good run at Snetterton. Steadily faster all weekend. For context my fastest lap time on the Superstock bike with at least 45 more horses is a 1:55.8. My goal for this year on the V2 was a 1:56. Realistic I felt so I went for it. Free practice sessions were about set up and learning the track on this particular bike. Without the straight line speed and power of the bigger bike it was inevitably about brakes and corner speed. FP1/2 saw me sitting around the 25th/26th position mark and steady 1:58 laps. More to come. Given my pace and position I was confident of getting into Q2 so I left pit lane for Q1 in full on time attack mode. Out lap saw me nearly crash at the final corner due to a weird cut out of the bike but I kept pushing. By lap 5 of the 15 minute session I was into the 1:57s and finished the session going over a second quicker than in free practice. I was into Q2 by finishing the session in 9th position. We did however have an issue. When I pulled up to re-fuel in pit lane I noticed water coming out of the bike. I took my helmet and gloves off as I figured that was it as the bike had overheated. It turned out to be a tiny pin-hole in a smaller hose near the jubilee clip from motor on the right hand side. Fair play to the crew, they pulled it off the engine. Steam everywhere like a kettle, cut the damaged end off and re-connected it. Top up of water and away I went. Only lost 4 minutes of the session and went out and went faster to finish 26th overall. The sprint race was interesting, 10 laps in hot humid conditions. Start was manic and I nearly hit an R6 up the ass into turn one so lost a few places. Got settled and plugged away chasing lap times. Didn't go any quicker and if I'm honest I managed my pace because the bike was running hot the whole race. They run warm anyway but it just didn't seem to cool at all on the straights which concerned me, probably atmospherics but I rode accordingly. I could see the gap on my board was big enough to not worry too much and I was never going to catch the group in front so looked after the bike as best I could. I had a shock as I crossed the line on the last lap though, .1 of a second to the bike behind. Perhaps eased off too much? Needless to say I pulled the pin a bit on lap 10 so as not to lose a place. Fastest lap of the race for me and unbeknownst to me it was my team mate who had caught me. He knew I had put in a fast lap at the end though so didn't push too hard in the end. I finished 21st.

For Sunday I made a few changes. I had struggled with the front skipping through Palmer and Corum on Saturday so I firmed up the front end and went for the SC1 front tyre over the SC2 to try and solve it. It worked a treat and I had a really good feature race. 14 laps of hard graft but the racing was spot on. Initially a good scrap with Ryan Garside until Ben Currie came through from the back after an issue on lap one. I tagged on the back for a few corners which meant I got by my team mate at Wilson after Ben sat him up. Next was one of the GP2 bikes which moved me into a position to chase down Harry Leigh. I took me a few laps to get up to him and I passed him on the brakes into turn one after slip streaming him on the start straight. It's not often I get that panic feeling but that move got me worried. I genuinely didn't think I was stopping. Compromised my entry slightly which meant he came back at me into turn two but he ran wide and I just rode underneath him. That was it, 1:56.595 and P21 again. Really happy with the bike as no issues with heat and handling. Looking forward to Brands Hatch this coming weekend where I hope to build on progress so far.

Here's a little video walk around of the bike just now when I finished cleaning it. Good scrub for the radiators and it's ready for next meeting. Any questions fire away but the bike is a stock motor apart from a super finished gearbox. The dash, ecu and loom are Solo and required for Supersport. The Termi exhaust has to be fitted, or Akra if you prefer. The bike is pretty much up to spec apart from radiators. Hopefully they are coming soon but they are not cheap. The only other gains are through weight saving overall so it has a lightweight ally tank and I take a shit before I go out on track. Ohlins all round for suspension as I have used before on the 959.
