Great British Cars

<p>Randy, Alex, and Beck attempt to talk about British cars. Instead, they cover vigilante gardening; the new <em>Grand Tour</em>; getting to know The Intercooler; an oddly aggressive door handle issue; a very hard-working girlfriend; terrifying death traps; and R. Buckminster Fuller&#39;s Dymaxion three-wheeler at the  National Automobile Museum.</p><p>But there&#39;s room for the Brits yet! The trio go on to discuss Allard vs. Healey Silverstone; BaT&#39;s overall favorite Bugeye; which carmakers are actually still British; love for &#39;90s Land Rovers; sailing an M100 Elan into a cow pasture; what car traits and accomplishments are the most quintessentially British; the best car to stick a Buick/Rover V8 into; a philosophical question about the TR7 and TR8; an uninformed question about the Lotus Esprit V8; our upcoming appearance in Hangar 113 at the Bicester Scramble on October 4; and their favorite Brit car listings ever on BaT.</p><p><strong>Follow along!
