Car Culture

Owning a strange, low volume, imported car is hard work. When things go wrong, as they inevitably do, repairs can be a nightmare.

Like us, we imagine, several of you still collect, build, and play with Lego sets. They’re no longer just a kid’s toy and is a hobby shared by people of any age or walk of life.

Welcome to Wednesday Want. Each week, our team will pluck a car from our thousands-strong Car Suggestions forum and give it some time in the spotlight. From the weird to the wonderful, we’ll be covering the full automotive spectrum. You can check out past Wednesday Want entries right here.

The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance shows some of the most beautiful historic cars in the world. From the Duesenberg Model J to the Bugatti Type 57, all of the most iconic classics grace the lawns.

Group B gave us some of the wildest and crazy rally cars. From the Audi Quattro S1 to the Ford RS200, all the great rally icons are there. Now you have a chance to own a piece of this legendary rally class with a mint Mazda RX-7 Group B rally car hitting the auction block.

The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance shows off extremely rare classics every year and there are always some surprises. This year Classic Motor Cars will bring the rarest Jaguar XK120 in existence to showcase at the event.

What’s faster? A real life car or its digital counterpart around the same track?

We start today off with a video revisiting two of the most potent rally homologation specials the world has seen in the last 20 years.

We’re sure many of you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of GT Sport on October 17. Trust us, we feel your pain and we’re right there with you. Thankfully, we searched the internet for remedies to help scratch the GT itch. Here are some videos from Best Motoring that we think embodies the spirit of GT through and through.

When you think of James Bond, the next thought is probably an Aston Martin DB5. The DB5 will always be one of the most iconic movie cars. With its classic good looks, glorious exhaust note, and coolness off the scale, it’s a dream car for many.

One of the best things about owning a car with a big V8 stuffed under the hood is the sound. Stomping on the go pedal and listening to that glorious roar makes the price you paid worth it. However, while you may absolutely love it chances are your neighbors hate you for it. Ford understands buyer’s plight and aims to fix that with the 2018 Mustang GT.

The Lexus LFA is one of the most brilliant pieces of automotive engineering to date. Over eight years Toyota engineers built the car to perfection. It even continues to be impressive five years later. So why are there still 12 sitting on dealer lots?

What initially seemed a typical driving accident turned into a most bizarre scene in England earlier this week. A Leicester security camera captured nine people vacating a Civic after it rammed into the back of another car.

Suddenly a rare Lamborghini Diablo appears and could be yours for under one million dollars. Costing more than a brand-new Aventador S, this particular Diablo is a collector’s item thanks to a starring film role.

The 1966 Ford GT40 is one of the most iconic cars ever. Synonymous with achievements in motosport, casuals and car fanatics alike can easily identify the shape and curves of the classic. However, a car thief in Iowa clearly didn’t get this memo after attempting to steal a replica.

The Ford F-150 Raptor is one of the most impressive off-road vehicles one can buy off a showroom floor. It’s ludicrous in all the right places and as far as trucks go it’s pretty affordable for what buyers get. So why did someone spend $300,000 on one?

Ah, the joys of driving. Picking up your new car, blasting down the highway, playing your favorite driving tunes and getting punted in the back by a careless driver. Well, maybe not that last part.

We’re sure many Gran Turismo fans took some improbable cars around the Kart Space track in GT6. Well, Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series (LOORRS) pro, Carl Renezeder, did just that in Carlsbad, California.
