I read this at lunchtime and completely nerded out for about half an hour afterwards. This story has everything: Spies, spaceships, radio hams, cover-ups, frozen corpses in space. Even the Fiat 600 makes an appearance! "Once they arrived back in Turin, they found Torre Bert besieged by fans, enthusiasts – and spies from both sides who had started hanging around. Every now and again, their “guardian...

We learned on Friday that Dante Alighieri would prefer to drive a '58 Fiat 600 Multipla in Hell , and that's an important lesson. Another lesson that all those sentenced to eternity in Project Car Hell should learn is the joys associated with buying a Hell Project without a price. Yes, literally priceless cars await us today, and not just any priceless cars. Old race cars! See, this way you can negotiate...

As I'm sure you all know, Friday's Choose Your Eternity poll was the most one-sided yet , with the Quadra-Opel option absolutely vaporizing the Bi-Fiat choice. It would be interesting to see how a single Opel GT would fare against its Fiat 600 counterpart in a head-to-head matchup... but that will have to wait for another time, because today we've gone all high-buck on your ass with our choices...

A few weeks back, we brought you the (alleged) 376 mpg Opel, noting that it (allegedly) was the result of a (unconfirmed) Shell ultra-mileage test on (clandestine) superheated vapor fuel technology, similar to the technology that Smokey Yunick (did indeed) patent and install on a 1984 Fiero. We noted that other (supposed) test vehicles in [...]
