Post cars that aren’t front engined.

They’re just more fun.

While typing this I remember I had a dream last night that I was showing someone a heavily modified Corvair that had two sets of controls. I did a mild sk id which was cool, careful not to overdo it on account of the rear enginedness. Then my passenger tried, fucked it, went into the wrong lane and had a head on with an Alfa Giulia. We were fine but three people died somehow. Weirdly it was in a small town I used to live in.

I had to type this out twice since kinja deleted the content whil e I was choosing a pic.

Woo! This is a good one. I prefer the 360 but there’s no 360 targa. I might prefer a 308 but I’m sure this is a better car.

ps is this yours? there’s a guy on here who has one, i’m not good at looking at user names

I’m a big fan of the later Clio V6, but this will do as well ;) I can’t even imagine the fun this would be on a wet open road

I like these. They share interior parts with my car. They are front engine though

Thanks!

Well..

You’re wrong!

Yeah, this one is mine. Chan had a 355 and sold it for a 4C and rb1971(?) has a 328. I took this picture last week after I gave her post road trip bath.

I drove a 328 and 355 before getting the 348. To me, it blends the fun part of the older models (simplicity and telepathic non-assisted steering) with a more modern seating position and ergonomics. This is my first targa and I’m definitely a fan. It’s much more dual personality than a convertible.

Yup! The Nano is a RR layout! So is the iMiev. And the stupid smart car too :p

Wow that’s awesome! Has it been reliable? How many miles on it?

Haha! The last three are some of my favorite cars (the Skoda 105/120/130/Estelle series, the classic FIAT 500 and the FIAT 126....though the Autobianchi Bianchina [3rd pic] has to be up there too considering it’s 500-based!)

It may never have been produced, but the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve certainly was cool...

Sure.  If you drive it backward. ;)

I do know of the ME Four-Twelve from various 00s video games.

I know little of Autobianchi. IIRC they were in Gran Turismo at times, but they were slow as shit

Holy shit I SAW AN iMIEV THE OTHER DAY! I almost forgot. I think I was drinking.

A big part of me wants to see what happens when you throw one of those around a wet road. The RR has gotta be fun at least some of the time

I can never spot a 348 vs a 355.

Awesome! I’m a big targa guy, my last 5 or 6 cars have had t-tops. Glad you like it

I’m not sure they fit the definish of engine , but they’re definitely rear mounted. Kudos!

Now...what wheel drive is it..

Ugh! So stock! So pretty. Though I can’t agree with having the lights up during the day. That’s the entire point of hidden lights.

Yup, the Bianchina has the same ~500cc Inline 2-cyl with 17 or so horsepower that powered the 500.

Haha. Great for post-war transport in a post-war depression. Not so great in a video game.

Oh I like that. Not quite the car Nissan based the Figaro on, but inspiration I’m sure

Nice! They are mostly on the same chassis (like the 308/328, 360/430, 458/488). Much of the body work above the bumper and black line is the same) So they do look similar if you don't look at them all the time haha

I got in in May at nearly 55,000.

So far it’s needed a crank position sensor (fitted by me after much struggling and buying of obscure tools - you need a T25 bit and an E12 socket ) and a handbrake switch, diagnosed and fitted by a garage. Both are common issues.

I’ve just had the clutch actuator and clutch bite point adjusted, normal service items that I think haven’t been done for som e time.

I never noticed that trend. Ferrari do have a history of doing like a half-new model every second generation don’t they?
