Peele P50 in Mechanix Illustrated - As eventually endorsed by Jeremy Clarkson.

If you're a faithful viewer of Top Gear*, The best Thing ever Made of Any Kind by Anyone Ever, you're probably familiar with Jeremy Clarkson's hard hitting review of the Peele P50, the Smallest Production Car Ever Made so far. Well, look what was plopped on my desk this morning, cleverly hidden inside a 1963 copy of Mechanix Illustrated (which shouldn't be confused with "spellers illustrated"). A Peele P50 writeup! It had to go up as today's post.

And, just to be thorough, here's Clarkson's road test of the Peele P50 in and around (but mostly in) BBC Center. Please enjoy.

1967 Ford Mk III (GT40) - Car and Driver review... from the past!

The Ford GT40 is one of the most beautiful things ever made. It was basically re-made in identical form from 2004-2006, to the fascination of the gearhead world. here's a Car and Driver road test of the consumer version in 1967. apparently it was a janky, half-finished, wildly expensive absolute thrill to drive. I expect more for my $18,500.

It's worth noting that Jeremy Clarkson was so in love with the 2004 re-do that he bought one. Link to that video:

...but Ford had enormous trouble getting  him a car that would work right. Link to that video:
