After seeing the Citroën and Peugeot 403 brochures, Franzouse could contain himself no longer. He scoured the tubes of the Internet in search of Simca Vedette manuals, and he hit paydirt in a big way! A Simca aficionado in New Zealand has made high-quality scans of service and owner's manuals in their entirety. No wonder the cops in Brazil's favorite TV show of the 60s drove Vedettes!

The Dirtbag XJ-S pounded the Sepia 1940 Mopars like a Canadian carny pounding a case of Moosehead in yesterday's Choose Your Eternity poll , which was about what we expected. After all, a V12 Jaguar can beat most any PCH contender, up to (and perhaps including) a Citröen. We'll test that hypothesis later, but today we're going to try our hand at Hell Projects featuring lightweight vehicles with hoon-centric...
