The vast majority of 2026 models for the North American market have already been presented by manufacturers. Previously presented cars were already in the database, but the remaining ones have now been added. Some entered the new model year with only minor changes, others with more extensive Phase II modifications (e.g., the Jeep Grand Wagoneer), but many new model lines also appeared, such as the Honda Prelude, Jeep Recon, Nissan Sentra B19, Porsche Cayenne Electric or Subaru Outback.

I found some photos from the 25th anniversary celebration of the BMW 8 Series, which took place in 2014 at the company headquarters and at the factory in Dingolfing (Germany). I owned such a car at the time and was involved in the official 8 Series owners club, which co-organized the event.
A real treat was the red BMW M8 prototype, specially exhibited for us. Several dozen BMW 8 cars from all over Europe came to the event. A great event with a wonderful atmosphere...

Another batch of Toyopet/Toyota data from the night of the sixties and seventies. Among others, the iconic 2000GT model in JDM and American versions. Toyota in those years began to offer an extremely wide range of engine and equipment versions of its models, especially for JDM, which is why work on even one model now takes a lot of time.

I was driving across Sweden last week and I happened to see a sign directing me to this small car museum in the town of Motala. I try to visit as many museums as possible, whenever I have the chance. I think I've seen most of the European automotive museums, and a few outside Europe. I could actually try to write a guide of sorts on the subject...
This Motala Motormuseum is not big, they tried to fit as many items as possible into an ornate space, which makes it look a bit cluttered. H...

A few words about my Jeep Wrangler TJ, which I owned in 2017-2024.
At some point I wanted to try more serious off-roading. For this purpose, I needed a real off-road vehicle, and that is undoubtedly the Wrangler TJ.
In Europe, this car is rare and there was not much choice. At that time, there were only a few cars for sale with a 4.0 engine and a manual gearbox, and that was the only model I wanted. I found an unmodified copy from 1997 in acceptable condition as a basis for furth...

This is the car with the longest history in my possession. 1991 BMW 850i, with a twelve-cylinder five-liter engine, automatic transmission and snow-white interior. I bought this car in the early 2000s as a fairly new sports car (actually a GT), and sold it over fifteen years later, already as a valued classic / youngtimer.
I was a huge enthusiast of this car, so much so that I even made a short video about it :) 2024-11-30 16:11:43 +0000 UTC
