That’s right. We’re running a story about an imaginary car in an imaginary world where that imaginary car had been neglected to such a degree that our imaginary world David Tracy would be interested enough to imaginary buy it. Of course, it’s an imaginary Jeep, with imaginary rust. Got all that? Too bad. Here it comes anyway. – JT] [Editor’s note: How my auto journalism career got this strange is beyond me....

If you’re thinking Hot Wheels toys, it’s obviously already been done. The one I’ve seen is the famous ‘Twin Mill’ dual engined car that was made into a life-sized vehicle: However, the toys I have in mind are Tonka trucks. No, I am not referring to real life Big Three Bro-dozers with TONKA lettering on them rolling coal on the streets. The ones I am talking about we received as new or handed down to us from older siblings....

It has pioneered banking as we know it. In 1972, RBS was the first UK bank to offer a house purchase loan to its customers. It was also the first bank to provide internal banking services to its clients. RBS has a history of supporting its local communities through partnerships with sporting, cultural and charitable organizations. The bank also runs a MoneySense program aimed at educating children about money. RBS has evolved over the years, and in 2000, acquired National Westminster Bank (NatWest) along with its banking subsidiaries:...

They are used to select many job roles, from directors, managers and team leaders, to apprentices, technicians, graduates and administrative staff. Professor Peter Saville founded Saville Consulting.

And, this next image may have the clues you need to identify it:Look at the details! The body shape may be tricky, because it seems a lot of misfortune has befallen the car, and it wears that misfortune pretty much everywhere....

Airfix Quickbuild Model Kits Our own social media golem, Peter, sent me one of these – the one you see here, in fact, the yellow Beetle – and I was really taken by how easy and fun this kit was. I put it together with my kid Otto (we’ll have a silly little video of it soon) and I was really impressed with the novel assembly method used. Really, it’s Lego-based!...

Huh, I was not expecting that. I bet if the Jag’s engine were in one piece, the vote would have been tighter. But you chose the safe and easy path. Honestly, I would too. That Jag is beyond my abilities. Before we get to today’s cars, I just want to say a quick word about “boring” cars, a charge that was leveled against the Nova by a few commenters. Honestly, I don’t find any car boring....

Looks like the big Lincoln is sunk, and not just in the mud. I really do think that car is in better shape than it looks under all the gunk, but I also agree that the Olds is a better choice. It’s a real shame about the duct-taped seats, though; in good condition, those GM land-yacht interiors are just magnificent. Now then, let’s take a look at a couple of sedans from the Ford Motor Company....

For most people, the terms are used interchangeably. After all, it’s entirely possible to be a manager who supervises people. It is equally possible to work in a place where the supervisor manages others. This confusion can lead to issues in understanding the precise responsibilities of a role.

Since then, pretty much every major event, tech or otherwise, scheduled in the first half of the year was canceled, suspended or postponed, and even those held in the second half of the year having a questionable fate. But the people behind the events didn’t despair – they simply moved their events online. Live-streaming events, keynotes, and product reveals was commonplace even before the pandemic hit – the only difference is that this year, the live audience will simply not be there....

Let’s start with the big number. No, I’m not talking about the extra horsepower on tap, although that’s all well and good. I’m talking about the 240 pounds BMW claims it’s removed over the M4 Competition. That’s an impressive figure, although it’s worth noting that BMW quotes a base six-speed manual M4’s weight as 3,830 pounds, some 50 pounds less than the Competition car. Still, 240 pounds is a fairly massive number, so where did it all come out of?...

The story of the L-1011 takes us back to the 1960s. In the prior decade, the introduction of the jet airliner had revolutionized commercial travel. The graceful de Havilland Comet was first, and was soon followed by a bunch of competition from all over. Travelers were captivated by jets, which made the world feel a little smaller. Jump to the 1960s, and airlines were looking to expand, with the goal of flying more people on larger metal birds....
