This one belongs to my childhood best friend. We used to "play" in it when we were kids.

He and his wife currently have three vintage race cars, the Bugeye a TR6 and a TR3.

Any Bugeye Sprite fans in the house? I saw a really cool one at this morning’s Audrain Museum Cars and Coffee.

We had one as the only family car when I was little. British Racing Green with wire wheels. RTH 620 if I recall the reg correctly. Me and my sister would sit on the parcel shelf. I can still smell the insides. Love that car, would love to have one of my own one day. Remember my dad saying he would get a bit scared on multi-lane roundabouts when pulling alongside artics and looking up at their wheels towering above him!

Three tonnes! Don't you need an HGV licence to drive that?

Yep. She's the oddball in my junk lot, but so much fun to drive.

Seeing this is a good reminder of how - IMHO - BMW has really lost its way designing. Simple and clean has been replaced by complicated and confusing, and of course bloated.

Vs.

The Ineos literally just got off of the Truck and they let me do a semi extended test drive never got washed.

so now I need to decide which I want to keep.

both are great. The Rivians amazing but no drama. The Ineos is all drama. ICE vs Electric..

The Riv is arguable better in every category but soulless even though it does 0-60 in 3 seconds and cleared the Rubicon trail with no issues.

both exceptional and a true first world problem.

Vs.

.

One looks like the bus that takes you to the rocket and the other looks like the rocket.

But what's it like for the people who don't get to drive and have to sit in the back seat? Would they have a preference different than the driver's?

Hopefully sleeping on it will help.
