Honk if you’re horny

15 June, 2017

We’ve all been there, sitting at the lights when the car in front waits a beat too long to get underway. No biggie, we give them as much of a courteous toot of the horn as possible. And undoubtedly, most of us have been on the other end of it.

Problem is, there’s a very fine line between a “Hey, look, no rush, but would you mind, um, getting underway soon” kind of honk, and a “What the f*&k are you even doing in there?!?! I’m LAAAATE” sort of honk.

Well, fear not. YouTuber Mark Rober has come up with a solution, and it’s pretty good. A mod for the ages we reckon.

Super affordable supercar

The owner of this 1978 GTV, Stephen Perry, with only a skerrick of wishful thinking, says through half-closed eyes, “It is not dissimilar to the Maserati Khamsin”.
The nose is particularly trim and elegant from all angles, featuring cut-outs for the headlights echoing Alfa’s own exotic Montreal. The body is unfussy, lean with lots of glass, and the roofline shows a faint family resemblance — although on a much more angular car — to the curved waistline of the earlier 105s. The slightly hunched rear means there’s much more space in the rear seats than in the cramped rear of 105s — very much a 2+2 — and a generous boot. These more severe lines are not quite as endearing as the 105’s but they are still classy and clearly European.
