Weekend Watches January 10 2025
Another Porsche video (but by a legend), a crashtastic off-road video, an insane engine swap, a second insane engine swap and the reason British Leyland died. Or one of the reasons, anyway.
Very good friend and one-time (so far) contributor to The Redline, Scott Newman, has his own YouTube channel Addicted to Sliding. Here he reviews the 911.2 Carrera T.
Mat Watson from Carwow seems to be able to do whatever the hell he wants and – crucially – has fun doing it. He gathered a couple of friends and took three old German sedans on an off-road course. And it really is a lot of fun.
Twin Engine Corsa has the story of a Daewoo Matiz with a 3.2-litre V6 crammed into it. I don't think it needs any more explaining. The Porsche wheels may need some explaining however...
On the them of engine swaps, Practical Performance Car meets the owner of a Citroën 2CV with a BMW road bike engine and about four times the power.
Square steering wheel-equipped Austin Allegro is the subject of another excellent Big Car video. The Allegro is a national punchline in the UK – perhaps only beaten by the Marina – so it's interesting to look back and see how bad it really was.
And that's it for the week. Have a great weekend and if you haven't already, check out my Corvette review or my VW T-Cross review for drive.com.au. And don't forget to sign up to the mailing list.
