This morning I stumbled upon the video from Petrolicious. To resume the story, the car was a barn find, but the new owner opted to keep it as he found it. Gave it a total mechanical overhaul, but everything else is how it was when the car was found in a shed in Japan.

I’m a big fan of originality and character in a car, but I have to say that to see such a lovely vehicle like that all covered in rust makes me uneasy. I for one would try to leave some patina but the ugly time scars would have to go.

What would you do? Keep it as is or restore it?

Christian von Koenigsegg has a new car out, and of course it’s an hypercar. The Jesko was officially revealed at the Geneva Motor Show, earlier this week. Up above you have Christian himself explaining some of the engineering and the ideas behind the car. If you have 36 minutes available and are a gearhead like me, watch it. Well, I am a confess a Ksegg fanboy, but nonetheless it’s still ice cool.

And yes, I really need one for the W-143 Garage.

A promotional film by BMW from 1976. You will get 26 minutes of race cars, daily drivers, pilots and even art cars. And yes, sideburns.

OMG, the sideburns…

I admit I’m not a big fan of the F40 (and Ferraris in general…), but that is très cool.

The car is an Iso Grifo A3/C, and though it’s gorgeaous even in a not-finished trim, don’t worry about the image. Just crank up the sound.
