I bought a new 1971 Mecury Capri 1600 right after they came out. The car was so popular at our local dealer that I had to put my name on a list and wait and see what arrived next. It was a take-it-or-leave-it situation. A blue one arrived and I took it.

Great little car, but a little anemic with the US mandated smog devices. When I had the engine rebuilt years later I added tubing headers, a Weber 2-barrel carburetor and the European Cortina camshaft. Big increase in performance.

Was that supposed to happen...

Jeremy Clarkson already demonstrated this, by intentionally crashing a Volvo into a trash bin (dumpster for us dumb Americans) on Top Gear. He subsequently discovered that the auto-brake system didn't engage under a certain speed (15 MPH?), and obviously the car in this video wasn't moving very fast.....

Interesting, but then Volvo knowing this (presumably) would have told the people about it

GuidoK · 12-08-2021, 04:59 PM

Actually I think that car is only fitted with the Volvo Safety System, and not the pedestrian detection system.
That generation of V60 with pedestrian detection should have a square plastic sensor in the grille.
So everything went according to spec

Not fitted with dumbass detection

The city safety system (that only works with other cars, by means of a laser sensor by the rear view mirror), only helps prevent colissions with a speed difference up to 15kph (~10mph).

M5Rick · 12-08-2021, 05:10 PM

What about this one

M5Rick · 12-09-2021, 04:33 AM

I guess this one didn't like the Bauhaus boxes at 30kph

M5Rick · 12-10-2021, 01:21 PM

Okay okay no more Volvo ads..but maybe later

For now there is this.

M5Rick · 12-12-2021, 02:40 PM

What's that? You want to see some more Volvo's..
What old one's should look like for some street cred

M5Rick · 12-28-2021, 06:07 AM

At the time EB was a paraffin oil used in domestic heaters.

M5Rick · 12-30-2021, 10:06 AM

It's time for a Skoda one

Murf993 · 12-30-2021, 11:26 AM

How do you make a VW bug go 225KMH? I remember this from when I was a much younger man.

Never owned a VW as I saw them as oddball cars like passats driven by 'Richard Wilson' types over here but got to say the Scirroco/Corrado range got me looking closer.
