I love the look of the Turbo Titan

Překrásný kousek👍

Rode the Turbo a few times just for the dome view; could watch them drive. It was hard riding and bouncy, and the engines roared loudly when accelerating, performing less well compared with the service offered by the electrics. Turbines on wheeled vehicles never lived up to the hype. could do 120 MPH where the ACELA does 150 today but could go faster than same where there are speed restrictions due to sagging catenary on the 11Kv wires.

Let’s face it, even if, and it is big „if” £120.000 car could do this, who would send it for such a quest. First Range Rovers were build to achieve such purpose. Nowadays they are build to be … luxurious.

I recently bought a 2008 9-3 aero 2.8t I’m wondering if it’s reliable

I love saab cars the car i would love to drive sadly i will never own unless i win the lottery.. ng 9.5 estate.. its a pity..

As an owner of an NG 9-3 and OG 9-5...no. The 9-3 has bad interior that's not shared with any other GM things until the facelift, but...bad. The OG 9-5 is still all Saab except for the platform. No GM switchgear.

GM is a dinosaur 🦕. It’s too big for its environment to sustain.

I grew up in town called Mckenzie/Linden, Guyana South, where it was a bauxite mining town.[1970-] My Dad was an engineer, (my dad studied a bit i think in OH re how to worked that Walking Dragaline) and he used to operate the Walking Dragline for a number of years. He will take me and sister to work with him sometimes to show us how that powerful machine works, we will stand in the cabin with him and watch him operate that heavy machinery, (we were about 13-14 years old). He will dig up that earth by spinning that hugh bucket into the ground. Me and my sister will climb up the ladder to the cabin and sit in it and enjoyed the beautiful lights on that machinery. It was amazing!! So sorry, there are no pictures to show, but the memories live on. RIP Dad. ❤

it should have been preserved.

Man , they look like strong trucks

there were 2 segments/trips- Here to There- Chicago to panama- in 3 red, 1960 700 4 doors, all 80 hp 3 speed. all the cars and trucks finished that first expedition. then they followed up in 1961 going from Panama through the Darien gap, to the tip of south America. that was named "Daring the Darien". 3 new red 1961 model 700 4 doors were used. it is one of the 61's that is still in the jungle; all 3 corvairs *did* make to the marker of south America. once that goal had been reached, Chevrolet was 'done' with the expedition, and the nearest GM affiliate was told they could have the battered cars & trucks if they went and got them. one of the cars either broke or was badly damaged during that attempt, and without the knowledge or parts that accompanied the official "Chevrolet" part of the trip it was simply left where it stopped. the other 2 corvairs and trucks were successfully driven out. the expedition began at Dick Doane Chevrolet in Elgin Il. the drivers were mechanics at the dealership. we were fortunate to have 2 of the original drivers give a presentation to us at the 1987 CORSA Convention which was held in the NW suburbs of Chicago.

Funny how this unbelievable story gets forgotten, yet some greedy, politically motivated, ignorant lawyer writes an incorrect book about Corvairs and that’s what history remembers about these incredible cars???

Land Rovers and Range Rovers only became unreliable after bloody foreign companies bought them and fucked them up.

Incredible story!!👍

How did they pay for all that? Makes you think they cooked the books.

I just got my e60 about a month ago ..love to see more content on the non M e60 😅

In 1966 General Motors was pretty much the dominant player, they had tons of money and resources to play with., I believe that is why they could fund such futuristic studies.

Thank you for this vídeo!. What do you think about 545i? Thank you.

I used to hate it but i own one now and i love it

How did the electricity get to the machine? All I can think is giant extension cords!

Hello from Malaysia. I had a beautiful white 1989 E34, but it was getting long in the tooth, and I was looking for a replacement. My late dad was a Mercedes-Benz man. He had the W115, W123 (two generations) and W124. So there I was in a dealership, poking around for a W211, which I thought Daimler-Benz finally got the E-Class right after the oddity of the W210. I had seen the E60 before and, like many who first saw it, I thought "what an ugly mistake by BMW". But my wife, 11 years my junior, liked the E60. She insisted that I test-drive both the W211 and the E60, to check out the drive and systems first before deciding. After the test-drive, I decided that the BMW is a much better car. I got a straight-six 525i in diamond black. Over time, it grew on me. Today, it still looks contemporary and not as old as the W211. I love looking at it. The car is 20 years old now. I am restoring it. I just had the entire front suspension replaced, and the engine mountings, and the gearbox was re-built. It is such a wonderful drive again. Next, it just needs repainting.

I just bought 2006 9-3 aero 😭😭 and i found it with 62k miles

I have a 03 1.8T with 217k miles on it, no rust and everything still works, it’s a 6 speed and still is as fast as F!! D :0)

I had a 2L petrol version of one of these. Crashy suspension, unreliable electrics, drank fuel, clunky pedals. Absolute Shit Box. I'd choose a Mazda 323 from that era hands down.

Fast Forward 2023 , Chinese Spy Balloons Are not Pick Up on United States Raider until They are Over Wyoming ?????????

Great video my father was the photographer on that expedition working for the daily telegraph Paul armiger

Definitely should have been a museum and maybe a bar for the miners would have been a profitable idea

at climbing mountains .

In the early 1950{s Popular Mechanics showed an Autocar truck that had a turbine installed and was reportedly goods

GM really has a bad habit of crushing advanced cars (EV1 cough cough)

I guess fake news as been around a long time. I just finished watching a youtube video of this expedition and it sure looked like all three Corvairs made it out along with the support vehicles. I was surprise to see others had found a Corvair in the jungle that looked like it was one of the three on this expedition meaning only two made it out. The original film did a little dishonest film editing.

Awesome story

I still got a 04 93 aero convertible love it

Coming from a e34 and e38 I was skeptical buying my e60 6 years ago but today it has been a great reliable vehicle 👍🏾 and has kept up well with its styling, currently refreshing my cars front and rear suspension I hope to own it for many more years

I would like to have just one of the chain links. I understand they were the largest chains ever manufactured. There are some immense anchor chains out there. It is hard to imagine a link bigger than that.

When ppl say, "... This is EVERYTHING..." I hear James Humphrey, from donut media voice!😅

I believe we can do again given the right opportunity, that's just me though

Nice work researching this. A rhetorical, "Who knew..?"

From down under. Recently purchased my '64 bug & love reading these stories :)

I love my 2010 535i, i just bought it in November, she an amazing vehicle ive never owed a bmw, im putting her back on the road im replacing alot of her main parts, she's one of a kind on the road

If it was only worth 700,000 dollars scrap then that amount should have been raised to save it because we will never see anything that size again ever.

25 million dollars seems like an absolute bargain ❤

Thanks for the video. I have a 2006 E61...530Xi Touring. I love it. Lived in Budapest, bought it in Wurzburg, now have it in the US. Keeping it forever. Getting very hard to find. I agree it has a timeless design...it looks new even today, graceful.

I am about to buy a 530i 2006 258hp RWD Manual. Can't wait driving the thing. Sapphire Black with beige leather interior with wood trim. The car I dreamed of when I was a student

Прекрасная техника и очень надёжная техника!!! только Задорнов говорил что американцы тупые). Мы на подобной технике ездим в Магаданской области и на Чукотке всё великолепно👍

"This being America, it was driven, not shipped". How would you 'ship' something that size?

I just found this video. I have had many Corvairs over the years and am a big fan of the car. I'm almost 80 now and to this day I will say that I'd love to own a Corvair. In my view the most practical vehicle ever produced by Detroit .. I work on what I drive still. and I miss the simplicity of that drive train...nice video

I have owned and enjoyed 4 SAABs so far, starting with a 1999 '9000', to a 2006 '9-3' 2.0t Vector and changed it to magnificent 2007 '9-3' 2.8t Aero. Now I own the ultimate SAAB (in my humble opinion)...the 2008 '9-3' Aero XWD in South Africa. I'm planning to emigrate to the UK later this year and I intend to get us yet another 9-3 XWD. I salute those Swedish car engineers. I am sad that production stopped over a decade and a half ago but I hope that SAAB enthusiasts will keep SAAB cars rolling for a long time to come. 🚗
