Remember Jesse James? Would You Like to Buy His Car

Cast your mind back to the heady days of the early millennium. Back then we all wanted a chopper and the people who made them were gods among men. Or, b-list celebrities or whatever. Among the builders one man was king, Jesse James, and now you can buy his Notchback.

James’ 1965 right-hand drive Type 3 Notchback is currently for sale on ebay and it’s actually really nice.

The dark green VW has been expertly restored and features lovely-looking upholstery, and a very clean, mildly stanced exterior.

James inexplicably imported this car from Australia, so you’d need to take a brave pill to pass someone on a two-lane highway, but that does add to the exoticism of the car. According to the ad, the Notchback has been on Monster Garage, so you can dust off your DVD collection and keep it in the car to impress kids at your local car show.

Two details leap out as the majorly divisive issues on this car. The first is the 17’ BRM wheels, which look… okay, I guess. It’s a look. The second detail is the new soundsystem inside, with authentic early 2000’s deck for effect. The ad says the system is hidden, which is good, but there’s something that deck that rubs me the wrong way. It just looks out of place, even though it’s hidden in the glove box.

The final issue is the price, which currently stands at a pretty sizable $30,200. If that sounds worth it to you, you only have seven days to make your offer.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
