Hello my friends!đź‘‹ 

It is so good to finally write to you after 9hrs work behind the scenes.

We got a lot on our plate today!!

The roadmap 🛣️ 

  1. A fun car event is happening near you

  2. An introduction to Monday’s format

  3. Most clicked links from last week

  4. Memes

But first - I’m dedicated to writing THE BEST car newsletter for you.

So I created a short survey so I get to know you better.
(just click below)

It’ll take you a minute & help me serve you better 🤝 

1. A fun car-event near you!

Before you continue - Do you like classic cars??

If the answer is no - then skip this part.

If you do, then this should be of interest👇️ 

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Drive (DGD) is a charity event where classic car lovers drive around for a great cause.

And it’s happening this weekend!! (24th September, Sunday) ⌛️ 

Thousands of people participate each year in all parts of the world.

Portugal

Argentina

There are 200+ events so maybe there’s one near you?

If you want to participate or just watch classic cars, the button below will take you to the charity’s website👇️ 

Progress: 4500+ drivers have raised almost $250 000 which will be invested in vital research and programs for prostate cancer and men's mental health.

Aaaaand introducing - Monday’s format

2. Scrap or Store, the Engine-Swap faceoff

What it is?

  • I do a short writeup on 2 engine-swapped cars

  • They’ll both be from the same nationality (e.g. JDM)

  • Then you choose what happens (virtually):

    • 1 gets crushed

    • 1 gets added to our imaginary garage

Why did I choose it?

  • engine swaps are fun

  • I want to make this interactive

We’ll run this format for a few weeks.
If you don’t like it - we’ll scrap it (pun intended).

So today we have 2 American beasts 🇺🇸 

1967 Ford Fairlane vs 1972 Plymouth Road Runner

1967 Ford Fairlane

  • Engine: 5.0L Coyote V8

  • Transmission: 3-speed auto

  • Horsepower: 2500bhp on 45psi of boost

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

1972 Plymouth Road Runner

  • Engine: 8.0 L Viper V10

  • Transmission: 6-speed manual

  • Horsepower: 650bhp

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Sooo let’s see what the votes are.

Remember the rules, imagine:

  • one has to get scrapped

  • one has to get stored

1972 Plymouth Road Runner
