But the basement is where you set up the fiberglass molds!

Makes me wonder what a TGUK vs TGUSA episode would look like. Probably Clarkson and Ferrara crashing into each other a lot while Foust beats the pants off everybody.

I'm not talking about the Connect, though -- Ford is going produce the full-size Transit domestically next year as a replacement for the E-series. And Brian is right -- the picture I posted is of the outgoing model. Ford is being weirdly secretive about the appearance of the new model (it's a cargo van! Who cares?).

For some reason the rear end looks to me like an industrialized version of the Cube.

No love for the new Transit, then? They're going to be building the US model just across the river from me.

That doesn't look anything like a Ford GT! I am confused...

Seriously though, there are only about a dozen top-tier American voice actors who do this stuff. It's one of the reasons I prefer subs... there's at least a little variety in the vocal talent!

In fairness to the Mini, it's not a *bad* car - various reliability gremlins aside, they're fun drivers and fairly practical - it's just not the amazing car we all thought it was when it first came out.

Unfortunately, I don't' have one. My mother crashed and shattered her tibia within two minutes of first climbing on a motorcycle, and has ever since believed them to be homicidal death-machines. As a courtesy to her nerves, I've never ridden.

I'm volunteering at the next event on the Rally America schedule, the 100 Acre Wood in southeast Missouri. I've missed the last couple years, but when I last went down it started icing up heavily on the middle of the second day. They had to cancel the last stage because the sweep cars were going in, but they weren't coming back out. Not that snow hadn't already claimed a victim or two...

The Talon in the back slid into a drainage culvert and tore out its front suspension, and the MR2 went in the ditch on the other side of the road trying to avoid it. He was able to get out, but crumpled up a fender against an obstacle later in the day.
