1959 Citroën 2CV AZ - walkaround and POV drive
A walkaround and short drive with my ripple bonnet 2CV. It has the slightly more powerful 425 cc engine (in 1959 the original 375 cc version was still available as well), which gives the car a top speed of about 80 km/h. On a flat road that is. Going uphill or with some headwind (or - God forbid - both) the speed potential decreases dramatically. Nonetheless, few cars are more fun to drive than a 2CV. It´s a true icon of automotive history, filled to the brim with ingenious technical solutions.

1984 Renault Fuego GTL - walkaround and POV drive
Переглядів 10 тис.2 роки тому
A walkaround and short drive with my Renault Fuego, the French coupé that has ´Eighties´ written all over it. The car´s stylish looks were conceived under direction of Robert Opron, the designer who was also responsible for icons such as the Citroën CX and SM. Unfortunately the Fuego never became a big success, the main reason probably being that it did not drive the way it looked. It was not a...

Переглядів 42 тис.3 роки тому
A walkaround and short drive with my Mazda 626 2.0i GLX. This generation of the 626, known as the GC, was produced between 1982 and 1987, receiving a moderate facelift in 1985. Even though the car sold very well in Europe there are not many examples on the road left, certainly not cherished ones. A fate it unfortunately shares with many other Japanese classics and youngtimers. Like most Japanes...

A walkaround and short drive with my BMW 3 Series. The car is completely original and equipped with only a few factory options like front fog lights, a manual sunroof and 15 inch alloy wheels. The colour is Mineral Blue (code 231), a pretty rare and (in my opinion) gorgeous colour for this generation of the 3 Series. The 320i had the smallest six-cylinder available in the E30.

A quick walkaround and a bit of driving in the mountains with my Alfetta. Fact: you´ll hear me crunch the gears only ONCE, which is quite an achievement with this transaxle car ;-) Here is a little background on this particular version. The car is from 1977, the year that the two-litre version of the "bialbero" engine first came to the Alfetta Berlina. At this occasion the car was also restyled...
Honda CB1100 EX exhaust acceleration sound, WITHOUT background music

When I was considering to buy the CB1100, it proved difficult to find videos that give a good impression of the engine & exhaust sound, without music in the background. I also was curious what the storage space under the seat looked like. So now that I have mine, here is a short video featuring exactly those things. Hope it helps others in their decision.

    Beautiful car, I have a 1954 ripple bonnet that's never had a serious restoration so I'm amazed to see how little yours rattles and squeaks! Quick question, what kind of driveshafts are you running? I've got the original universal joint ones that make it very hard to drive around tight corners. I've heard of people modifying them to run later CV joint driveshafts, your car just doesn't seem to jerk back and forth around those village turns like mine does.

    • @ericcrama2221

      Hi! Nice to hear from a fellow ripple bonneteer ;-). In fact mine has the normal universal joints as well, maybe it doesn´t really show in the video but it jerks like a moody donkey too. What I sometimes try to do when making a tight turn (but you probably already know this from experience) is first gain some speed and then take the turn with the clutch down, that way it doesn´t jerk at all. But of course in many situations that´s not possible. I don´t know, it´s certainly a very uncomfortable phenomenon, but it´s also part of the car´s character, so personally I decided to live with it. Cheers!

      Ciao Luigi. Spero che Google traduca correttamente la mia risposta. Non c'è molta differenza in termini di coppia e accelerazione assoluta tra le due vetture, ma l'Alfetta ha chiaramente più potenza ai bassi regimi. Accelera in modo molto uniforme. La BMW accelera meno forte ai bassi regimi e "improvvisamente" diventa più potente esattamente a 4000 giri/min. Per quanto riguarda tenuta di strada e frenata: guido le mie auto abbastanza rilassato, come le classiche, quindi non posso dirtelo in dettaglio. Ma la BMW sembra un'auto più moderna, quindi la frenata e la tenuta di strada danno al guidatore maggiore sicurezza. Spero che aiuti! Ciao, Eric.
