I never meant to offend Scotty Kilmer either. Some of his stuff is great… I think the danger is when we make value judgements on the makes of car. Everyone has a different point of view, different cars we love. At it’s most basic a car is a box on a set of wheels with an engine. However, build quality is important. Just as Eric was saying, if a car is cheep and has most of the features of the more expensive makes. Then they had to make other savings along the way. Thinner metal, cheep plastics instead of stainless steel, lack of safety testing etc.
From a purely technical focus. I suspect the stainless steel DeLorian from my point of view is the best mass produced metal car body. The best engine is probably the W16 Bugatti Vayron’s engine lots of power in a relatively small space. Though not that easy to obtain. (mostly because of cost)
I’m sure everyone has an opinion about this…
Eric’s Vermont is a good example it looks great and makes a car into something you can feel attached to. Though needs a better engine/ gearbox/ brakes/ rust proofing.

What do you think?Yes chrome is expensive but it would be better. Have you thought about the chrome painting systems?

JaneVW Toureg engine doesn’t physically fit in the bay. There maybe some minor flexing of the front bulkhead wall which will need to be strengthened. Other than that the mountings and steering points also need upgrades. The gearbox and rear propshaft tunnel mounting points needing re-enforced too. As for the engine all materials are based on F1 technology including an engine block warmer system. Pistons con-rods and liners are made from Al B Co Ti alloy.

:S Hi Eric Just to say I changed the post on the Honda engine… I guess I learned something more about Honda’s engines in the 1990’s

http://www.wellforce-osk.com/Sockets.aspxYou can buy a cheep OBD2 reader from eBay that could tell you if the cars computer has found a fault. They start at about £20[$32] for a scan tool D900 reader that covers most of the basic codes. Then you can search Google for the meaning of the code… Easy.
