Der VW Scirocco 2 – Das aufregend vernünftige Sportcoupé Als VW 1981 den Scirocco 2 präsentierte, war es fast schon frech von einer neuen Entwicklung zu sprechen. Schließlich war einzig und allein die Karosserie neu, die Plattform entsprach dem Vorgänger und war im Grunde genommen der Golf 1. Zwar kamen im Zuge der langen Bauzeit bis 1992 irgendwann auch die neueren Motoren aus dem Golf 2 zum Einsatz, insgesamt aber war das Technik-Konzept veraltet. Für den Scirocco 2 hat die Entwicklungsabteilung eine Reihe von Forderungen in das Lastenheft geschrieben: vor allem die Kopffreiheit sollte größer werden, genauso wie der Kofferraum. Und das Auto sollte einen besseren cw-Wert haben, schließlich würde der Scirocco 2 schwerer werden als sein Vorgänger. Ziel war es 25% mehr Autos als vom erfolgreichen Vorgänger zu verkaufen. Dieses Ziel wurde verfehlt, sogar das Gegenteil war der Fall, am Ende verkaufte VW rund 25% weniger Autos. Grund waren vor allem die nicht mehr ganz zeitgemäße Technik und der relativ hohe Preis. Daran änderten auch die zahllosen Sondermodelle und die später stärkeren Motorisierungen bis hoch zum 139 PS starken Aggregat des Golf2 GTI 16V nichts. Genau die Motorisierung wäre Frederics Wahl. Ron würde sich schon mit der 110 PS-Variante zufrieden geben. Einzig der aufgesetzte Heckspoiler stört Ron ein wenig, der den Scirocco 2 aber ansonsten sehr schön findet. Was das alles mit Tennis, rissigen Armaturenbrettern und dem Maserati Biturbo zu tun hat – das erfahrt ihr in diesem Podcast.

There is never a such thing as owning too many Volkswagens... ...or so they say. Is that really true? === The Carmudgeon Show Sponsor, Vredestein Tires: https://www.vredestein.com/ === Bidding farewell to his Honda Beat to make room for another topless driver, Jason's newly acquired 1996 Volkswagen Cabrio finally makes it home after much anticipation - but not without the drama that comes with a 1000 mile roadtrip home in a 29 year old Volkswagen arising from a low-mileage slumber. Fear not - the Mk3 Cabrio doesn't replace the Mk1 Cabriolet, rather, it will supplement the Cabriolet and the Scirocco with a few extra creature comforts and soon-to-be VR6 power. Jason's journey begins in Washington, where he picked up the Cabrio just freshly serviced at Griot's Garage for some pre-roadtrip services. The first stop at Techtonics Tuning in Sheridan, Oregon reveals the opportunity to get the Cabrio on the dyno and see just how few horses remain in the original 2.0L ABA engine. A worth bonus - the entertainment value of watching various Volkswagen burnouts and engine explosions amongst a live audience. Jason & company are not without misadventures - including but not limited to several roadside tire repairs (thanks, Granada Tires) and a crank(y)shaft position sensor that threatens to leave them stranded on more than one occasion. But it's the friends you make along the way that make it worth it - most noteworthy, a random mid-route encounter with Tom Hale who drove his Maserati 4200 GT all the way from Connecticut.

Jason and Derek return to the studio amidst a summer of cheap (and expensive) vehicular thrills. === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US. Visit vyperindustrial.com and use code CARMUDGEON for $50 off. === Uncle Jason completed a cross-country road trip with his niece in her newly acquired 2017 Volkswagen GTI Sport (MK7). From traversing the desert to experiencing the agony of old Subaru Outbacks climbing up mountain passes, the dynamic duo had a bonding experience of a lifetime. In an arduous journey to revisit a past daily driver experience, Derek contemplates selling several cars in his fleet. In theory- this would include his 964 Porsche 911 and his 3.6L-powered S124 Mercedes-Benz E320 Wagon, making room for the acquisition of a Porsche 911SC, a W140 Mercedes-Benz S500 Grand Edition, and (yet another) S124 Mercedes-Benz E320 Wagon. Jason reconciles with some fleet updates of his own, contemplating the sale of his 2019 Volkswagen e-Golf (Mk7) to be replaced by a 1996 Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet (Mk3) in efforts to supplement the experience(s) of his Mk1 Golf Cabriolet and Scirocco. He also dives into more detail on the progression of his 1980 Rover SD1 restoration, and the recent acquisition of a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle-turned art installation poised to wreak havoc on his neighbor's property values.

In this episode, Jason explains how he crashed his 1980 Rover 3500 V8 en route to film an episode of Jay Leno's Garage — and explains why it's so incredibly important to have agreed-value insurance on collector cars. === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === The Carmudgeons are back from Summer Break 2025! And this episode is all about Jason's experience in crashing his Rover SD1 — and explaining the virtues of having great insurance. Earlier this year, Jason got up early morning to drive 400 miles to film an episode of Jay Leno's Garage featuring the Rover (scheduled to be aired August 4, 2025.) Turns out Leno's crew didn't believe the Rover would make it without incident — after all, these cars weren't reliable when new, 45 years ago. As is turns out, Mr. Leno and his crew were right. But the incident wasn't a mechanical issue, it was Jason punting another car while attempting to make a lane change. Jason takes Hagerty's "Never Stop Driving" tagline to heart — and thanks to him checking every insurance box, he believes the Rover isn't a total loss and will be fixed and back on the road. Drive your cars, and it's not a matter of "if," but "when" something will happen. Jason is no stranger to an insurance claim despite this being his first chargeable claim in 30 years. He annihilated a deer in his E30 Touring, got rear-ended in the Honda Beat, and rammed a Cavalier in his beloved Scirocco – the resulting insurance debacle took years off Jason's life and required a herculean effort to stop the car from being totaled because of its post-crash, actuarial-calculated “actual cash value”, and was a huge factor in Jason seeking out a better insurance company. He found one in Hagerty and its agreed value coverage. After some initial grieving and embarrassment, it's time to focus on the repairs and the opportunity to make this Rare Rover even better: A Series-1 front-end swap, lights, and euro bumpers, perhaps?,Oh, and a top-to-bottom engine overhaul courtesy of Hagerty's Redline Rebuild team in Michigan – more on that coming soon! Having the right insurance coverage is a literal matter of life and death for your cars, don't skimp on it or you'll be sorry!

Derek does the California Mille – California's take on the 1000-mile Italian road rally, the Mille Miglia. Behind the wheel of a 1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce, Derek (and OTS & Co. cofounder, Tazio Ottis), experienced some of central California's best driving roads between Half Moon Bay and Calistoga alongside over 80 of the finest automobiles to exist by the mid-20th century. === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US. Visit vyperindustrial.com and use code CARMUDGEON for $50 off. === Initially dreamt up by local driving legend and passionate car enthusiast, Martin Swig, the California Mille hopes to recreate some of the legendary driving experiences of Italy's Mille Miglia. After Martin's passing, his wife and two sons (specialists at Broad Arrow and Bring-a-Trailer ) carried on the tradition until the event was purchased by Hagerty in late 2020. It's a swanky affair with spas, fancy lunches, drive-thru oyster bars, and open regular bars, with specialist mechanics and flatbed tow trucks at your beck and call. Naturally with 70-year-old (or older) cars, many breakdowns ensued. A Mercedes 300SL needed a tow, and a Ferrari 250 TdF required assistance from Patrick Ottis Company after several transmission components welded themselves together. A bolt came dislodged on the shift linkage of a Citroën ID promptly stranding it, but Derek's stash of spare bolts saved the day. Differentials were grenaded, and problematic torpedo fuses were replaced while still in motion. A woman in a Honda Accord even PIT-maneuvered a pre-war Bentley on the Golden Gate Bridge. The Carmudgeons discuss past rally experiences in a W201 190E in Europe, Jason's 5000-mile trek to Ohio in his Scirocco, the Orange Blossom Rally in a Mazda Cosmo, and the BABE Rally in a $400 Cadillac stretch limo. Derek touches on the Colorado Grand Rally and Copper State Rally, and the boys discuss possibly starting the Curmudgeon Mille e Uno Rally. Derek points out that Miles Collier, cofounder of the precursor to the SCCA, posited that there are 2 types of enthusiasts: contemplative and experiential. Rallies are definitely for the latter. Plus Jason wears an un-tailored button-down, we dive headfirst into porta potties, and we wonder if the 1988 Honda Accord is too reliable to rally. Learn more about your ad choices.

How to not get ripped off when buying a used classic car! How to spot fakes, frauds and phonies! The importance of documentation and pre-purchase inspections, and other lessons learned over 50 collective years of car shopping! === This episode is sponsored by Vyper Industrial — America's #1 rated shop chair, tool carts, and creepers, proudly made here in the US. Visit vyperindustrial.com and use code CARMUDGEON for $50 off. === We start off with a reminder to put fuel stabilizer in your car when it's going to sit for a while – especially if you're using garbage California gas. We debate what the acronym “smh” stands for, and discover there seems to be a cat-flatulence epidemic in France. Then we'll dive right into the importance of the pre-purchase inspection (PPI) – something Jason thought he was more than qualified to perform himself on a Le Mans-blue Alfa Romeo GTV at Monterey Car Week several years ago. However, at the urging of concours car-prep extraordinaire, Tim McNair, Jason acquiesced and let expert automotive consultant, Chuck Wray, take a look at the car, and almost immediately discovered that Jason was moments away from buying two GTVs that had been stealthily welded into one. Derek will fill us in on how there can possibly be multiple “numbers matching” cars with the same serial numbers. And we'll cover several of the factory-based archival certification programs like VW's Birth Certificate, Porsche's Kardex and Certificate of Authenticity, Lotus' Certificate of Vehicle Provenance, and the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust. We'll cover Ferrari Classiche (pronounced “classi-kay”), and the handful of exhaustive and painstakingly researched books detailing the specs of iconic models: Carrera RS, The Dino Compendium, and Simon Kidson's The Lamborghini Miura. Plus automotive engineering and restoration atelier, Pur Sang. We take a trip to Esoteria once again to discuss the subtlest model changes on cars like the Scirocco, Rover SD1 3500, Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 and what each change signifies (or doesn't in the case of VW's haphazard product planning). Jason even uncovers a handful of U.S.-spec C43s accidentally left the factory wearing a Europe-only paint color, Black Opal. Which is actually blue. Jason's approach to not getting screwed while buying a 996 cabriolet on eBay involves arriving at the seller's in a blacked out E39 BMW 5-series wagon with Argentina plates and wielding a baseball bat – classic haggling. Meanwhile, Derek does everything by the book and pays for a $500 PPI on a Porsche 911 he found online, only for it to arrive smoking and in need of a head rebuild. Both Carmudgeons revel in learning the histories of their cars (and others' cars): Jason getting the original paperwork for the Ferrari 308 GT4 from distributor Chinetti-Garthwaite to dealer Schwing Motor Company in 1975, and Derek tracking down his friend's 356's Kardex and subsequently locating photos of the car with its original owner when the car was brand new. There's loads of automotive history, forensics, anthropology and archaeology in this one! The question is, would you give up your original California plate if it meant no more SMOG checks? Leno's Law hopes to find out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The legendary, 500-hp Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series was never produced with a manual transmission. So, Derek had one built. === The Carmudgeon Show Sponsor, Vredestein Tires: https://www.vredestein.com/ Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev === Derek Tam-Scott's company, OTS & Co., purchased a C209-chassis 2008 Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series for science/tax reasons and immediately sent it to Matt Kwiek of @kwiekclassics for a new Mercedes-sourced manual transmission swap. How does the legendary AMG M156 6.3-liter V-8 (which is actually 6.2 liters) work with a 6-speed manual? For science, Derek hired SCCA Hall of Fame race car driver Randy Pobst to set a lap time in both a stock, automatic CLK63 BS and a 6-speed swapped one. The Black Series is one of Jason Cammisa's favorite cars of all time. He attended its launch at Willow Springs raceway, where he struggled to keep up with an 80-year-old Denise McLuggage as she executed flawless and effortless laps in the exact same car. It's a fun story. The ‘mudgeons then briefly cover all the Black Series models: the R171 SLK55, C209 CLK63, R230 SL65, W204 C63, and SLS AMG.  Is the CLK Black Series peak AMG? Derek compares the 6-speed swapped CLK to the fifth-gen Pontiac GTO and E39 BMW M5 Dinan S2. And the Carmudgeons discuss whether other collectible cars should also be manual-swapped, including the Lexus LFA, Alfa Romeo 4C and 8C, and the E60 M5.  The boys also ponder if tearing out the OE tranny on the Black Series is a crime akin to that of the Sacrilege Motors 964 911 EV conversion.  Which wasn't, actually, a crime. We end with a brief discussion of twin-engine cars: a half-Leaf half-motorcycle, a Twini (dual-engine Mini Cooper), DuRocco (twin-engine Scirocco), a pre-war Alfa, and a Citroen 2CV Safari.  Plus, the van, Jynah, prepares for potentially slippery, wet and white conditions with a brand new set of Vredestein Wintrac Pros!

Derek and Jason own many cars and once in a while, many of them break. Or receive really cool upgrades. It's time for a car-nerd fleet update! === Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev See: https://www.vredestein.com/ And: https://www.radwood.com/socal-2024 === The boys start with discussing "de-advanced" ignition timing on the Rover SD1 — and Jason did his first-ever brake master cylinder rebuild. But the big issue is that Jason wants to downsize his fleet (he still has 10 cars) but loves the different experience that each car offers. The Rover has a big (ish) lazy V8 and is unlike anything else Jason has. Derek wants to be done with his Citroën CX because it sprung a hydraulic leak, but then found the Citroën community — and, hopefully, someone to work on it. And so maybe it'll stay.  Thanks to Derek's guilt, 9 of Jason's cars have fresh brake fluid — which doesn't seem like a big deal, but doing 9 brake-fluid bleeds is time consuming. And worse, Jason discovered that his E30 Touring still had ATE Super Blue in his car. Which confirms that it was at least a decade old. Derek's Porsche 944 no longer has a 14-year-old timing belt, which means it can be driven to Radwood SoCal (hopefully on new Vredestein tires, no less!) Jason and Derek talk about today's ridiculous trend of people changing timing belts at 3, 4, or 5 years, with no mileage on them. This is an epidemic in the Ferrari community — when mechanics happily double the recommended replacement interval.  Jason has been suspecting that his VW Cabriolet is suffering from SMS: the dreaded transmission self-machining syndrome that kills many 020 transmissions. But after some exploratory surgery, it really now seems like a bad wheel bearing. That would figure, since Beatrice the E30 (the 1989 325i) also needs a wheel bearing after completing a track day (with Randy Pobst as an instructor on Sonoma Raceway.) These tend to come in pairs. Just not on different cars! Derek suspects his S124 E320 wagon (with the dogleg 5-speed and 3.6-liter swap) has bad wheel bearings, too. More urgently, Derek is having a Motronic Month: he's finally troubleshooted some strange running on his Porsche 964, which has gotten progressively worse over the last decade. He also found that one ignition module had failed, so it was running on half of its spark plugs. A new idle control valve didn't fix it, but swapping a DME (engine computer, or ECU in non-Porsche speak) from his dad's 964 fixed everything. Jason's buddy's 993 is doing the same thing — so Derek might have just inadvertently found that car's problem. Jason had never heard of rebuilding an ECU (except on Honda Beats) but thats' it. Jason's cars mostly don't have DMEs, and he's been fighting with ignition timing on both of his 16-valve Volkswagens (the Scirocco and Cabriolet) and wonders if he just should upgrade all the old cars to a Holley EFI or Megasquirt. Derek found a hard top for his R129 Mercedes SL, in Florida, but shipping was too expensive. So he found a local one in the wrong color . Jason has once done that, with the wrong color hardtop on his 996 for track use, and Derek also bought a very expensive new softtop for that SL. RIP by the way to Bruno Sacco, to Mike Valentine, and almost to Jeremy Clarkson.  The R129 SL500 / 500SL is the best deal in the collector-car world, period.  Jason did another (for a total of three) Power Acoustic CP-71W Single-DIN wireless Apple CarPlay head unit. He loves them. And that's before the $140 (+ tax) pricing. Except that he won't put one in the Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 because the Becker is too iconic. Or the Beat, because of the Gathers (Honda) head unit in there. Or the e31 850CSi. Continental and Blaupunkt make retro-looking radios, but Becker's original units can be retrofitted with Bluetooth or Aux In. Porsche Classic PCM unit is amazing, but it's far too expensive for non-Porsches. Says Jason. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you put someone from 1985 in a modern car, what would they be most surprised by? Hint: Why is it so much easier to get a speeding ticket today? === Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev === The Carmudgeons chat briefly about Jake's Honda CR-Z — a manual, hybrid, very good-looking car — and why it doesn't have a K20 or K24 instead. The main point of discussion, though, was started by Jason's drive in his Scirocco looking at how high 1980s cars rev on the highway. And he explains why '80s cars are geared so short (it's to achieve their relatively low top speeds at their relatively high-rpm power peaks.) In discussing this, Jason explains how German car companies chose their top-gear ratio. (Hint: it's to maximize top speed.) But there are, of course, other major changes since the 1980s — and not just things like keyless-start and infotainment. Or just power.  NVH, mostly as a function of torsional rigidity, has changed dramatically. And with it, safety. Including things like ABS, ESC, AEB, FCW, and then of course all the other driver aids we take for granted today.  Including the ones like BAS — brake assist — which several times accidentally almost caused Jason to have a crash. (Or make someone else crash.) But... Jason does describe a few times he experienced modern automatic braking systems have actually avoided an accident that WOULD have happened. One in a VW and one in a Mercedes, that could have caused him to hit pedestrians. It was a triumph of modern safety technology. Also, cars have grown tremendously in size and weight. And the total area of the glass has shrunk considerably, so visibility has changed for the worse.  So has ride quality — today's cars have far stiffer suspension, coupled with large wheels and small sidewalls. 1980s cars often rode more smoothly than today's cars. And much more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Un coche “fallido” no es un mal coche, al menos, no necesariamente. Porque puede que el coche no sea malo sino que, simplemente, los objetivos marcados por su fabricante sean demasiado ambiciosos. Nos vamos a centrar coches sin duda fallidos, que eran buenos coches, pero que no alcanzaron las expectativas y los objetivos que buscaban. En todos los coches os contamos cuál es nuestro argumento para considerar ese coche fallido. 1. Audi A2 (1999). El A2 es la respuesta del Audi al Mercedes Clase A.Audi puso todo de su parte y en este coche supuestamente modesto usó la misma tecnología “todo de aluminio” que había usado con éxito en el A8. La diferencia es que el A8 era un coche Premium y podía ser caro y el A2, por el segmento en que estaba, no podía ser caro… o no tanto. 2. Citroën C6 (2005). Sustituir a un mito como el DS n o era nada fácil, pero el Citroën CX creo que lo consiguió. Sustituir al sustituto de un mito era aún más difícil y el XM lo consiguió… en parte. Por prestigio puede, pero no por ventas o reconocimiento. Pero ya la cuarta vez… era muy difícil. Y el C6, un coche que os digo que era y es excelente, nunca lo consiguió. 3. Hillman Imp (1963). ¿Fallido un coche que se fabricó en más de 10 países y del que se vendieron más de 400.000 unidades? Pues sí, y hay tres motivos que os voy a detallar: Primero, el Hillman Imp nace en 1963, con motor posterior con todos los inconvenientes que tiene… Segundo, el Mini, el rival del Imp, en su primera versión triplica la producción del Imp. Tercero, el gobierno del Reino Unido insistió en montar una fábrica de este coche en Escocia… y fue un fracaso. 4. Honda FR-V (2004). Si copias a un “coche incomprendido” lo más normal es que te salga otro “coche incomprendido”. El Honda FR-V copiaba la fórmula de 3+3 plazas del Multipla, a mi modo de ver una buena idea. Pero para mí, esta vez la copia no superó al original… 5. Jaguar XJ220 (1992). La lección que Jaguar y otras marcas de coches superdeportivos aprendió con este coche es esta. “Si quieres que un superdeportivo triunfe, no escatimes en cilindros”. considerase a la vanguardia de la tecnología, que era lo que pretendía más que hacer negocio. 6. Lancia Thesis (2001). La idea era redefinir la presencia de Lancia dentro del Grupo Fiat y que se convirtieses en la marca Premium dentro del grupo y que ofreciese diseño italiano. Así que Mike Robinson, que de italiano se ve que tiene poco, y que en esos tiempos era el responsable de diseño de la marca propuso este diseño que definió como “neoclásico”. A ver, hojeando revistas de la época lo cierto es que este diseño no gustó a nadie… 7. Seat Toledo III (2004). ¿Por qué empeñarse en vender una cosa como lo que no es? Seat quería competir con este modelo con las berlinas convencionales con mayor poder, digamos, de representación… que el Toledo, no tenía. Además, como no se vendía, pero era práctico e iba muy bien, pues lo vendieron barato para Taxi… con lo cual la poca imagen de “berlina de representación” que pudiera tener, si alguna vez la tuvo, se la cargaron. 8. Studebaker Avanti (1962). Este coche es un claro ejemplo de coche fallido: Nació para salvar a la marca y, por el contrario, la condenó. Si miras el coche, que para mí es muy bonito, si te digo que era uno de los más rápidos de su época y que estaba bien hecho, la pregunta es… ¿qué pudo fallar? El diseño de Raymond Loewy, sí, el mismo que diseño la botella de la Coca-Cola, se adelantó demasiado a su tiempo… 9. VW Corrado (1989). Con el Corrado VW no proponían un sucesor del Scirocco, quería tener un Coupé de alto nivel. Y se dejaron la vida en ello, en un coche bonito, con un buen bastidor… y que tardó en tener motores a su altura.. si es que los tuvo, pues los VR6 de 2.9 litros y 190 CV, pero, para mí, este coche merecía más. Si os interesa este coche, “la Biblia” del VW Corrado es el libro “Corrado, el purasangre de Osnabrüch” escrito por mi buen amigo Miguel Ángel Águila Buchaca. 10. VW K70 (1970). El VW K70 era un NSU Ro80 con una carrocería de estética más convencional y con un motor mucho más convencional, pues el rotativo daba paso a un 4 cilindros en línea. Y sencillamente, era un coche excelente. Para mí el K70 fue un éxito pues quizás no se vendió como se merecía, pero descubrió a VW cual era el camino para el sucesor del Escarabajo… un tal “Golf”, no sé si os suena… seguro que sí. Conclusión. La frase que dice “con todos los que están, pero no están todos los que son” va como anillo al dedo para este vídeo. Veo vuestras propuestas para un segundo video en comentarios.

What's not so well-known is that he hit a curb while driving it back in the late 1990s, and bent a control arm. After saving for over a year, he finally had the money to replace the arm, and commissioned a local repair shop to perform the work. The Scirocco came back from the alignment shop with bad news: Installing the new control arm didn't put there wheel back where it belonged. The Scirocco's frame was bent.  After living with the guilt of having damaged his favorite toy for more than a quarter-century, Jason finally got up the gumption (and money) to have the car's frame straightened.  The frame shop had some interesting news: there was nothing wrong with the car — the control arm was merely bent. Turns out the shop that charged Young Jason to replace the arm... didn't. And last week, Jason finally replaced it himself, solving a decades-long alignment issue.  This made Jason think about his first three bad experiences as a young man with a VW shop (who tried to charge him near as much in diagnostics than he'd paid for the whole car for a simple bad ground wire) a VW dealer who disconnected his headlights and tried to extort him out of hundreds... and the aforementioned shop — all of whom are responsible for encouraging Jason to do all the work on his cars himself. Derek has a similar story about a local mechanic to tried to charge him $4500 for a simple ignition coil.  Fun times. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jamie Orr joins us for a chat about all things automotive from his younger years. Growing up in Scotland there were Minis, Metros and Ford Sierras. Later on, he moved down south and was taught to drive at the legendary TRL (home of GTI International).His Dad used to restore motorbikes in a high rise flat, had a manual lathe from a submarine, and bought a Lotus Elise as his company car! But both of his parents are petrol heads - now driving a VW Beetle and Mk4 Golf with BBS alloys! We touch on the DVLA in Swansea, how this may have been a 'gift' from the Government in lieu of closing the coal mines. In fact the DVLA was formed in Swansea in 1965 and the mines closed in the 1980's but it was a nice theory!We also speak about how Jamie got into VWs (his grandparents Scirocco Storm may have been a slight influence) but he bought his first when he moved to the USA. We hope you enjoy these tales and many more in this great episode.

Maxi Blitz Dei Carabinieri: L'Operazione Scirocco È Un Successo!Una grande operazione chiamata "Scirocco" è stata effettuata dall'Arma dei Carabinieri attraverso un maxi blitz. Ecco che cosa è successo!#breakingnews #ultimenotizie #notiziedelgiorno #notizie #cronaca #blitz #carabinieri #operazionescirocco #successo

Have you ever wondered what drives your decisions, what fuels your motivation to stick to a workout plan, or why certain foods seem irresistible? The answer might surprise you – it's all about a powerful brain chemical called dopamine. This neurotransmitter plays a crucial role in our everyday behavior and choices, often without us even realizing it. In this article, we'll delve into how dopamine influences your adherence to exercise and nutrition programs, what causes its levels to fluctuate, and, most importantly, what you can do to optimize dopamine levels for better health and well-being. As a health and fitness enthusiast, you might already know that maintaining a healthy lifestyle isn't just about willpower – it's about understanding and working with your body's natural processes. That's what we aim to uncover here. So, whether you're looking to boost your motivation, improve your mood, or simply understand your body better, you're in the right place. Let's dive into the world of dopamine and discover how this crucial neurotransmitter can be your ally in achieving your health and fitness goals. What is Dopamine? - Understanding the Basics Dopamine, often referred to as the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, is a chemical messenger vital for conveying signals in the brain. It's produced in various parts of the brain, including the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area.Schultz, W. (2007). Multiple dopamine functions at different time courses. Annual Review of Neuroscience, 30, 259-288. But dopamine is more than just a messenger of pleasure; it's a critical component in your ability to think, plan, focus, and find things interesting. The production of dopamine starts with the amino acid tyrosine. Tyrosine undergoes a series of transformations, eventually becoming dopamine. Once produced, dopamine travels through different pathways in the brain, each influencing various aspects of behavior and physical function.Wise, R. A. (2004). Dopamine, learning and motivation. Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 5(6), 483-494. Interestingly, dopamine is not just confined to the brain. A substantial portion is also produced in the gut. This gut-derived dopamine is pivotal in regulating gastrointestinal motility and ensuring the proper functioning of the digestive system.Eisenhofer, G., Aneman, A., Friberg, P., Hooper, D., Fåndriks, L., Lonroth, H., … & Lundberg, J. (1997). Substantial production of dopamine in the human gastrointestinal tract. Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 82(11), 3864-3871 The gut-brain axis, a communication network linking the gut and the brain, suggests that the dopamine produced in the gut could also have indirect effects on mood and behavior.Carabotti, M., Scirocco, A., Maselli, M. A., & Severi, C. (2015). The gut-brain axis: interactions between enteric microbiota, central and enteric nervous systems. Annals of Gastroenterology, 28(2), 203. Dopamine doesn't work in isolation. It interacts with neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine, creating a delicate balance affecting everything from your mood to your motor skills.Carlsson, A. (1959). The occurrence, distribution and physiological role of catecholamines in the nervous system. Pharmacological Reviews, 11(2), 490-493. In general, dopamine is central to motivating behavior by signaling the anticipation of a reward. It's involved in various functions, including memory, attention, mood, learning, and even motor control.Berridge, K. C., & Robinson, T. E. (1998). What is the role of dopamine in reward: hedonic impact, reward learning, or incentive salience? Brain Research Reviews, 28(3), 309-369. Dopamine's Influence on Exercise and Nutrition Adherence As we've seen, dopamine is a key player in the brain's reward system. But how exactly does this translate to our exercise and nutrition habits? Exercise-induced dopamine release creates a feedback loop in your brain. When you exercise,

It's time for a quick Carmudgeon Catch-Up. The boys have been busy filming, but they're back in the studio for a session to discuss what's been going on. And, it turns out, to ponder what life would be like with only two cars. == This episode of “The Carmudgeon Show” is presented by Valentine One Radar Locator: Find radar before it finds you! https://bit.ly/Valentine1_Hagerty Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-ICONS == The updates are many! Jason's Dodge Grand Caravan finally got the custom license plate he ordered almost a year ago – and its innocent profanity is making him laugh.  Beatrice the E30 325i is back on the road after a double-suspension swap with Jason's 325i Touring. Thanks to help from the legendary Bill Arnold Independent BMW, the Spec E30 kit is now on Beatrice, complete with a new clutch and throw-out bearing, and she's ready for track days and rallies. And, of course, taking Jason's niece to Thunderhill Raceway's Teen Survival driving school. Where G learned just how it feels to be in low-earth orbit.  And the 325iT switched back to factory antiroll bars with H&R's new springs, tuned specifically for E30 Touring, and Bilstein B8 shocks that were a gift from our friend Sreten at M539 Restoration in Germany.  Meanwhile, Jason also went to Radwood SoCal 2023, where he gave away a gorgeous set of RML Snowflake wheels to a deserving Scirocco fan. He also met @outlaw_welt — a fan and a gentleman who 3D-printed a bunch of Carmudgeon Show and Jason Cammisa Hagerty Show logo pieces. And gave Jason a ride to the airport in his C126 500SEC 6-speed manual.  Of course, no Carmudgeon Show would be complete without a discussion of Sacco-era Mercedes, and the boys successfully put on a Cars & Coffee in Berkeley on Bruno Sacco's 90th Birthday. More than 100 cars showed up, including almost a dozen W124 500Es. Quite an achievement — and Happy Birthday, Mr. Sacco! Meanwhile, Jason will have just completed his third 24 Hours of Lemons race at Sonoma Raceway (wish him luck and safety) with Bill Arnold and Randy Pobst. The last time they ran this race, 2 years ago, they won overall in their tired, battered E28 BMW. And Derek has major news to share: he's parting ways with ISSIMI to start his own dealership. Daihatsu? Daewoo? Either way, Derek will be peddling the Cheapest D in Town! Details to follow! And he spent a couple days driving his brother's Rivian R1S. Derek's bro has what could possibly be the best 2-car solution ever: an ND2 Miata and a Rivian. This leads the boys to discuss: what would happen if they had to get down to just two cars. Would Jason keep just the Scirocco and the Ferrari? What else?  And could Derek actually do it? The Carmudgeon Show is part of the Hagerty Podcast Network. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dopo un paio di giornate fredde e soleggiate dove si sono viste diffuse gelate anche in pianura, arriva il maltempo. Le correnti che accompagnano questo primo impulso perturbato sono umide e miti, data la componente meridionale, ma date le basse temperature, inizialmente nevicherà a bassa quota, non in pianura dove pioverà da subito, ma in collina.

A causa di una nuova perturbazione che sta per abbattersi sul nostro Paese oggi la protezione civile ha diramato allerta rossa in Emilia-Romagna soprattutto sull'Appennino emiliano l'allarme è anche per pericolo frane. Allerta arancione in altre cinque regioni italiane: Toscana, Veneto, Liguria, Lombardia e Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

For our 21st episode we dig out our first recording ever. On this episode of Dads with Cars, the boys learn their way around recording a podcast. Cam witnesses the magic that a Porsche SUV can be, Ben squeezes himself into the trunk of a Scirocco and Evan walks us through his history of cars and trucks. Hosted on Acast.

Hoy te vamos a hablar de coches que estoy seguro que no conocéis, al menos no todos. Porque antes de que VW llegase a diseñar y fabricar el Volkswagen Golf, un modelo que la salvó de la ruina, dio muchos palos de ciego… Os contamos una parte de esta historia en el vídeo titulado “Cuándo VW casi se arruina” que te aconsejo ver, pero como siempre, vamos a comenzar esta historia por el principio… bueno, más bien por la mitad… nos vamos a los años 60. “VW se ha quedado dormida”. No, esto no lo digo yo, lo dijo la prensa por culpa de unas declaraciones del ministro alemán de finanzas, Franz-Josep Strauss, quién culpó al presidente de VW en ese momento, Nordhoff de no aprovechar los momentos de bonanza para diseñar nuevos modelos. Si os preguntáis que pintaba el ministro alemán de finanzas en todo esto, os recuerdo que VW nace como una empresa perteneciente al estado alemán y al de Baja Sajonia y que en estos años aún un 40 por ciento de la empresa era de titularidad pública. ¡Era necesario un sustituto del Escarabajo! Vaya por delante que, en este momento, el nombre de Golf no existía... pero lo uso para simplificar, porque lo que buscaba VW era un sustituto del Escarabajo, que acabo siendo el Golf. Pero antes hubo otros intentos, raros, locos, curiosos… y todos fallidos. Y os lo vamos a contar y os lo vamos a enseñar. P603 Sachsenring AWZ. Ahora cuesta creerlo, pero en 1963 en VW pensaron que la tecnología de Trabant podía ser la solución. Alguno se reirá, pero el Trabant P603 tenía rasgos de modernidad, como su tracción delantera o su carrocería parcialmente de Duroplast, como en tradicional Trabant 601. EA 235 y 235a. En 1967 se proponen dos prototipos desde luego originales y con un rasgo en común: Abandonaban el motor bóxer de refrigeración por aire por un cuatro cilindros de agua de diseño Audi… en realidad que había diseñado Audi con la ayuda de Mercedes... como veis… ¡todo un lio! EA266 Porsche. Este prototipo fruto del trabajo conjunto de los ingenieros de NSU y de Porsche era muy original, tanto que llevaba el motor… ¡central! La disposición era curiosa, con el motor bajo los asientos traseros a un lado, con los accesorios al otro lado. De esta forma se pretendía maximizar el aprovechamiento del espacio interior. Pero el coche era alto, ruidoso en su interior y caro de fabricar. ES 276 VW. Este prototipo es un paso atrás, básicamente retomar el 235 y actualizarlo… pero este modelo no sedujo a nadie… hay que encontrar otra vía… EA 337 Giugiaro-Italdesign. La situación en VW comienza a ser desesperada… Y entra en escena Giugiaro, que hacia dos que había creado su propia empresa, Italdesign, encadenaba éxito tras éxito y tenía fama de rápido y resolutivo. VW llevaba 25 años buscando un sustituto al Escarabajo, y en 1970 hubo una reunión entre la dirección de la marca y Giorgetto y el mensaje fue claro: “Haz lo que quieras, pero hazlo rápido”. Y con todo este lio se llega a 1972 cuando sucede algo que supone un mazazo para la compañía: Opel supera en ventas en Alemania a VW que, recordemos, que venía de tener un “cuasi” monopolio una década antes. Pero en esos años pasa cosas buenas. Muy buenas, diría yo. Y es que VW compra Auto Union que a su vez era dueña de NSU y que ya tenía coches de tracción y motor delanteros, en concreto el precioso NSU Ro80 que dio lugar el primer VW refrigerado por agua: El VW K70. VW ya lo tenía todo: Un motor de 4 cilindros refrigerado por agua, un chasis de tracción delantera y una carrocería muy bonita de diseño italiano... con retoques alemanes… ¿Qué faltaba? Ya habían lanzado el Passat y el Scirocco, nombres de vientos. Se planteó el nombre de Caribe y finalmente se eligió el de Blizzard... que afortunadamente estaba registrado por una marca de esquís. Y a pesar del pomo con pelotita de Golf, se eligió el nombre de Golf en referencia a la corriente del Golf, “Golf Strom” en alemán…

Antes de la llegada de los dos modelos “salvadores” de la marca, el Boxster en 1996 y luego el Cayenne en 2002, Porsche tenía un grave problema: La “911dependencia”. Una historia interesante, porque muchas veces intento romper esa dependencia de un solo modelo… y muchas veces fracasó. Confieso que esta historia me gusta por muchos motivos: Porque me gustan los coches incomprendidos… sobre todo cuando son tan buenos coches. Porque me gusta Porsche y porque muchos de esos modelos fracasados e injustamente tratados eran y son excelentes coches y con méritos suficientes para lucir esa marca. Lo que Porsche ha hecho, con enorme éxito, es pasar de ser una marca que dependía casi de un solo modelo a atreverse con todo: Por supuesto deportivos, SUV de todos los tamaños, berlinas, coches Diesel, híbrido, eléctricos… Y le ha ido muy bien. Todo comenzó con el Boxster nacido en 1996. Este coche tenía dos singularidades muy interesantes para ser un Porsche deportivo: Motor central, que Porsche un usaba en un modelo básico desde 20 años antes y el hecho de haber nacido como descapotable. Y más tarde llegó la revolución, el Porsche Cayenne, el primer Porsche que no era verdaderamente un coche deportivo. El éxito fue clamoroso, porque mucha gente “con posibles” quería tener un Porsche en su garaje, pero un Porsche cómodo, amplia y de cuatro puertas laterales… Porsche 914. A finales de los 60 VW y Porsche no eran la misma empresa, como ahora, pero si tenían muy buena relación, porque Porsche, antes y ahora, además del negocio de la fabricación de coche tiene el negocio de la “venta” de ingeniería. Porsche ya buscaba un sustituto para su 911 y VW un sustituto para el ya “viejo” Karmann Ghia, un coche precioso, pero ya antiguo camino de los años 70. En VW encargaron el diseño a Porsche, pero a Porsche le gustó mucho su propio diseño, una historia que más tarde se repetirá. Y pensaron, ¿qué pasa si hacemos un coche que nos valga a los dos? Así nació el 914, diseñado por Porsche, pero que equipaba motores VW o Porsche. Porsche 924. La historia casi se repite. Porque es parecida. Llegamos a mediados de los 70 y nuevamente el grupo VW quiere un coche deportivo y nuevamente le encarga el diseño a Porsche, que diseña un bonito coupé con motor delantero y cambio atrás para mejorar el reparto de pesos, el famoso sistema “transaxle”. Nace el VW de código interno 425. VW se echa atrás… acabarían diseñando su propio coupé sobre la base del Golf, el Scirocco. Pagan el diseño del 924 para meterlo en un cajón. Pero a Porsche su propio diseño les había gustado mucho y se lo recompran al VW y en 1975 lanzan el 924 con un motor de origen VW de 2 litros y 125 CV. Pocos coches en la historia han sido tan injustamente tratados. Porsche trata de “reflotar” el modelo con el 924 S con motor Porsche de 4 cilindros, 2.5 litros y 150 CV e incluso con un “Turbo” de 170 CV… pero entre uno y otros, el coche no triunfa… Bueno, según se mire fabricaron en 10 años 83.000 coches, una cifra lejana a las previsiones… Y el 924 evoluciona y se convierte en el… Porsche 944. En 1982 se produce una “huida hacia adelante” propiciada por los vendedores de Porsche que seguían viendo con buenos ojos un Porsche “asequible” … Rodrigo, no te olvides de las comillas. Lo más interesante de este coche era su motor que no era un diseño nuevo, sino “medio V8”. Porsche había fabricado un fantástico V8 de 5.0 litros para su 928 y si usabas la mitad tenías un sensacional 4 cilindros de 2,5 litros. Por supuesto hubo versiones S, S2 y el turbo, con 217 CV. Tampoco tuvo el éxito esperado, pero Porsche no daba su brazo a torcer y lanzaba otra evolución… el… Porsche 968. Ni más ni menos que un 924 con motor de 944 llevado a los 3 litros y estética de 928… Este modelo llega en 1992 y para mí era un coche verdaderamente “redondo”, bueno como deportivo, como GT, refinado, con un comportamiento intachable y un acabado extraordinario… El motor era una joya, un 4 cilindros atmosférico de 3 litros, con bielas y pistones forjados, árboles de equilibrado, sistema de distribución variable “VarioCam” y 240 progresivos y eficaces caballos. Una maravilla… pero muchos, no solo “Porschistas” sino periodistas y aficionados no le perdonaban a este coche tener “solo” cuatro cilindros. ¿Fue un fracaso? Pues sí y no, pero desde luego, desde mi punto de vista no tuvo el éxito que merecía y creo que aún hoy es un coche no tan valorado como debería. Aunque poco a poco los aficionados están dándose cuenta de lo buen coche que es. Porsche 928. Lo primero que hay que decir del 928 es que es un coche absolutamente excepcional. Un proyecto tan ambicioso como, probablemente, equivocado. Me explico: El mercado más importante de Porsche cuando se presentó el 928 en 1977 era los USA. El 911 era un coche caro, no muy amplio, incómodo y para unos difícil de conducir, para otros directamente peligroso. Y Porsche quiso, de nuevo, sustituir al menos parcialmente al 991 ofreciendo un modelo que, de alguna manera, era un “guiño” al estilo americano: Mayor tamaño, mucho más habitable y cómodo, con motor V8 y mucho más “dócil” que el 911. Y muchos pensamos que se equivocó. Porque el que tenía un Porsche en los USA no solo presumía de rico, también de ser una personal dinámica, joven al menos de espíritu, con buenos reflejos y buen conductor. Ese “aura” de coche difícil para hombres con carácter ofrecía mucho atractivo. Y no le faltaban argumentos. El motor V8 de 4,5 litros desarrollaba “solo”; con comillas, 240 CV, pero un enorme par. Ha podido ver este motor desmontado y es una joya, parece una obra de orfebrería más que de mecánica. La versión GTS llegó a los 347 CV. Como curiosidad hubo un prototipo de 4 puertas, al estilo del Mazda RX8 o el BMW i3, el denominado “Estudio H50” que se adelantó 20 años al Panamera. Pese a todas sus cualidades, el 928 no acabó de triunfar ni en los USA ni mucho menos en Europa, se vendieron entre 1977 y 1995 menos de 60.000 unidades. Conclusión. El año que viene el Porsche 911 cumplirá 60 años. Pero Porsche ya no tiene ni prisa ni necesidad de buscar un sustituto… ni creo que lo haga en muchos años. Porque Porsche tiene ahora una gama en la que hay de todo… y es la marca más rentable del Mundo. Al final va a ser cierto que se aprende más de los fracasos que de los éxitos. Coche del día. Sin duda el 928 GTS de 5,4 litros y 350 CV… un coche que pude probar y que fue el primer coche con el que sobrepasé los 250 km/h.

Andy and Jon chat with an ex colleague of Andy's, Tim Crighton.Tim grew up with his Dad running a race team, and competing around the country. He was also lucky enough to benefit from his Dad starting a Kart circuit, which led him to get behind the wheel himself aged just 7.Fast toward twenty something years from his debut in T cars and he's just competed at Goodwood Members Meeting in two different vehicles, much to his Dad's delight as "wire wheels and carburettors are best".This discussion takes in a Rover 827, a couple of Mk2 Golf GTIs, a Scirocco, a Calibra and a few different vans as well. It also gets philosophical, and dabbles with vehicle investments too. It's a gem!We hope you enjoy it.Andy and Jon. Support the showWe'd love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar_podcastwww.Facebook.com/mydadscar podcastwww.buymeacoffee.com/mydadscarIf you'd like to support the podcast and are able to, you can ‘buy us a coffee' which will help towards costs of hosting and purchasing equipment to allow us to record guests in person, rather than just on zoom.

Siempre hablamos de que muchos de los nuevos modelos tienen una evidente falta de personalidad… esa es una cara de la moneda. La otra: Muchos de los que se van o ya se han ido, sí que tienen personalidad… ¡Y ya los echamos de menos! Me he dado cuenta de que 7 de los 10 son coupés o deportivos y 9 de las 10 tres puertas… Vamos con la lista de coches que, al menos yo, voy a echar de menos... algunos mucho de menos. 1. Alfa Romeo 4C (2013) Esta el primero y en un coche que echo de menos, más o menos, desde 2018. ¿Por qué? Porque intenté comprarme uno, una unidad concreta que era el de pruebas de prensa de Fiat en España. Incluso me dieron precio… pero alguien, de la casa, se me adelantó… ¡qué pena! 2. Dodge Viper SRT (2016) El Dodge Viper, a pesar de ser un coche moderno, aparecido en 1991 y fabricado hasta 2017 puede considerarse, con todos los honores, como un verdadero y legendario deportivo americano. En mi opinión las señas de identidad de esta auténtica bestia son dos: Una, su estética, que te puede gustar o no, pero que impresiona… al natural, os lo aseguro, mucho más que en foto. La segunda seña de identidad, su motor: Nada de un V8, sino en “pedazo” de V10 que en la versión SRT de 2016 ofrecía 654 CV… probé este coche y me impresionó… desde luego no era un coche fácil, pero… 3. Lancia Ypsilon 2ª generación (2011) En este caso, la desaparición fue doble, ya que en 2014 desaparecía no solo el Ypsilon sino la marca Lancia… que parece que va a volver. Sería muy buena noticia. 4. Mazda RX7 III (1992) Hablo de la 3ª y última generación y pese a ello es el más antiguo de esta lista. ¿Y por qué está? Primero, porque es un coche excepcional por estética, comportamiento y tecnología… yo diría que irrepetible. Luego, porque me llamo la atención que en un estudio que hizo la compañía británica de seguros GoShorty analizando las búsquedas en Google y el número de hashtag relacionados con diferentes modelos, este modelo ocupaba el numero 3 de esa lista… impresionante… 5. Nissan 370 Z (2008) Por desgracia en esta lista hay dos Nissan desaparecidos casi a la vez. No sé, imagino que Nissan sabe mejor que nadie lo que le conviene, pero es una pena que una marca que ha sido siempre, bien como Nissan o como Datsun, ser un referente Mundial entre los coches deportivos, renuncie a este tipo de coches. 6. Nissan GT-R (2007) No sé si más pena me da aún el GT-R, auténtico mata-gigantes y que se erigió en un duro rival entre otras marcas, de Porsche. Nos dejó en 2022 pero ya antes se “masticaba” la tragedia. Una verdadera pena. 7. Range Rover Evoque Coupé (2011) Un SUV coupé…,una versión inteligente porque su denominación coupé provenía de sus dos puertas laterales, no de una luneta absurdamente tendida. La razón de que se dejase de fabricar: Solo el 5 por ciento de los Evoque vendidos eran de 3 puertas. 8. Seat León III SC (2012) Otro coche que da pena. Porque el León III fue el primer Seat León con carrocería de 3 puertas, que muchos echábamos de menos... y ha desaparecido en 2018. Como fin de fiesta hubo una versión especial SC FR Limited Edition con motor TSi de 125 CV que se vendió a muy buen precio… y que seguro se cotizará, en su momento, como clásico. 9. Škoda Yeti (2009) ¿Un SUV entre la lista de coches que echo de menos? Pues sí. Me gusta la marca Škoda, aunque con todo el lío con la probable desaparición de Seat, no me gustaría cogerle manía. Pero este SUV, que no era demasiado SUV y era un buen coche para ciudad, me hizo “tilín”, lo confieso. Entre otras cosas por su estética… 10. Volkswagen Scirocco (2008) Otro coche desaparecido en 2017. A ver, os confieso que nunca me entusiasmo el último Scirocco, que veía demasiado próximo en prestaciones e incluso en estética, al Golf…Pero después de casi diez años VW ya no lo ofrece… y le echo de menos. VW no lo da por muerto y anuncia, yo diría “amenaza” …con un futuro posible regreso transformado en coche eléctrico. Conclusión. Estaba pensando que a lo mejor alguno echa de menos a otros VW, como la reencarnación de Beetle … yo no… Nunca me pareció un buen “remake”. Pero sí hay otros coches que echamos de menos… seguro que con vuestra ayuda, podemos hacer una segunda versión de este video… Coche del día. He elegido uno que podía haber estado en la lista, el Peugeot 208 GTi, con sus tres puertas. Estuve en la presentación en Niza de este coche de 204 CV y un bastidor de excelente puesta a punto… ya no lo encontrarás en la Web oficial para configurarlo… Otro 3 puertas casi coupé que ya empezamos a echar de menos…

Lots of cars are named after a geographic location. Many cars are named after a place you'd never see them. We discuss them all. In this episode of The Carmudgeon Show, Jason Cammisa and Derek Tam-Hyphen-Scott discuss cars named after places! But first, an update on some of the boys' cars: Derek's R129 Mercedes 500SL finally has rebuilt hydraulic cylinders — and a functioning roof. Jason's W201 Mercedes 190E 2.3-16 has had a rearview mirror blowout. Jason decides he hates his Scirocco after working on the interior for a few hours — and then dropped it off at the body shop to have its frame measured for straightness because he still loves it. Derek's Citroën still doesn't run. Jason signed up for an autocross in his Lotus Elise SC and can't decide whether to run the Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 3+ tires, or put the original Yokohamas back on. But then - they got to the subject at hand: Cars named after places! And we made a comprehensive list of every car named after a place. Over 100 of them! Here they are. EVERY CAR NAMED AFTER A PLACE!

¡Hablemos de los años ’90! Fueron buenos tiempos y había muchos modelos coupé. ¿Buenos tiempos? Pues entonces muchos aficionados decían que eran un timo, que esos coupés, denominados “industriales”, eran berlinas “disfrazadas” con una carrocería mona y un motor ligeramente potenciado. Muchos de esos coupés están ahora a precios asequibles. ¿Timo u oportunidad? El concepto de deportivos industriales se comenzó a acuñar en Europa sobre todo con el Ford Capri… que a su vez no dejaba de ser una versión “a la europea” del Ford Mustang. ¿Por qué esa denominación? Muy sencillo, porque sobre el mismo chasis-plataforma del Ford Cortina, una berlina media, Ford propuso una carrocería coupé muy bonito y que fue un acierto. Un verdadero coupé, sí, pero ¿un verdadero deportivo? Si tenemos en cuenta que las versiones más vendidas eran las de motor de 1.3, 55 CV y la de 1.6 de 88 CV para un peso de más de 1.000 kg… pues muy deportivos no eran. Para mí, con excepciones contadas, los coupés son los coches más bonitos. Para mí y para mucha gente que se los compra por imagen y por su belleza y no tanto por sus prestaciones. Por eso, para mí, muchos de estos coupés de los 90 más que un timo, por no ser verdaderos deportivos, son una verdadera oportunidad para comprar coches clásicos o pre-clásicos muy interesantes y a veces a mejor precio. 1. Alfa Romeo GTV (1995) Lo vi en su estreno en el Salón de Ginebra de 1995. Sí, es cierto, es tracción delantera, ¡como todos los de esta lista! Pero con un interior tan bonito y con el motor V6 de tres litros, 24 válvulas y 220 CV, ¡no me digáis que no os gusta! 2. Audi Coupé B2 (1988) Confieso que me gusta más el B1, para entendernos, el coupé en el que está basado el Audi Quattro. Pero es de 1981 y el B2 se fabricó entre 1988 y 1997. También confieso que, estéticamente, puede que sea el menos atractivo, pero es un coche fiable y bien acabado. 3. Fiat Coupé (1993) Este diseño del estadounidense Chris Bangle no deja indiferente. Unos lo adoran y otros lo odian.. Confieso que ahora me gusta más que cuando salió. El que cuenta con el motor 5 cilindros, 20 válvulas y turbo, de 220 CV es un verdadero tiro y una compra recomendable. 4. Ford Probe (1988) Otro caso de un coche que fue y quizás siga siendo todo un “patito feo” … Este modelo, fruto de los acuerdos de Ford con Mazda, contaba con la plataforma nada menos que del RX7 y estaba bien terminado y con buenos ajustes. 5. Ford Puma (1997) Ya sabéis que yo no os engañó nunca… me puedo confundir, pero digo siempre lo que pienso… y ahora lo voy a decir… ¡no me gusta nada el Ford Puma! Y es que creo que, para lucir, todos los coches, pero los coupés también, hay un tamaño mínimo. Y, lo sé, el Puma no es pequeño, mide 4 metros de largo, como otros coches de esta lista. ¡pero parece encogido e hinchado! 6. Opel Calibra (1989) El Calibra sí que ha salido del purgatorio por el que pasan todos los coupés generalistas, por la puerta grande y ahora es un modelo cotizado…. Y con razón. En su momento toda la prensa dijimos que era el Opel de tracción delantera con mejor comportamiento de la historia, y es que este Coupé, supuestamente derivado del Astra iba mucho mejor. 7. Peugeot 406 Coupé (1997) Peugeot tenía ya tradición de hacer coupés derivados de las berlinas y diseñados por Pininfarina. Me encantaba el 504 berlina y más aún el 504 Coupé V6, diseño de Pininfarina. Con una buena base, el 406 ,y un buen diseñador… 8. Volkswagen Corrado (1989) Iba a llamarse Typhoon y situarse por encima del Scirocco. Pero no se llamó Typhoon ni llegó a situarse, claramente, por encima de su antecesor y a la vez coetáneo. Era claramente más pesado que el Scirocco y eso se notaba. 9. Volkswagen Scirocco II (1982) Es un coche fantástico pues, aunque está basado en el Golf GTi MK1 su bastidor, por explicarlo de forma sencilla, está a medio camino entre el Golf MK1 y MK2 y su comportamiento solo puede clasificarse de fantástico. 10. Volvo 480 (1986) Me encanta el P1800 Coupé de 1961 y este personalísimo 480 con tres puertas que pude ver en primicia en el Salón de Ginebra de 1986. El Turbo, con motor 1.7 litros y 120 CV daba mucho juego, era un motor agradable y un coche bien acabado… no me importaría nada tener uno. Coche del día. Cuando hablo de coches de los 80 y 90 me acuerdo de mi etapa de probador. Y recordando estos coches me he acordado de un coupé, muy especial, que me encantó: El Mazda MX3. Era, y seguramente siga siendo, el motor V6 de coche más pequeño del mercado, un V6 de 1.8 litros y 136 CV.

Episode 91 The Silent Episode Playlist Morton Feldman, “Intersection” (1953) from First Recordings: 1950s (1999 Mode). Feldman, like Cage, had already been a proponent of including silence in his pieces. Feldman was a part of the Project of Music for Magnetic Tape (1951 to 1954), an artist's collective founded by Cage to explore experiments in magnetic tape music. From this period came several works, the most famous of which was Williams Mix (1952) by Cage. For Williams Mix, Cage commissioned the recording of hundreds of taped sounds by Louis and Bebe Barron and then specified how to splice them together using a daunting 192-page graphical composition created using chance operations. Cage conceived the work for eight tracks of magnetic tape played simultaneously. The other members of the collective, in addition to helping edit Williams Mix, also created some unique works of their own using the same library of sounds. Feldman was one of these composers but took a decidedly different approach than Cage. For Intersection, Feldman used a graphic score composed of a grid, a method he had been testing for various instrumental works such as Intersections No. 1 for Piano (1951). The score could be likened to a sheet of graph paper with one row assigned to each of the eight channels. Each square, or cell, of each row represented a unit of time to be occupied by either a sound or silence. The sounds were assigned only as numbers representing the lengths of tape snippets to be used, thus regulating the duration of individual sounds. The sequence and simultaneity of the audio was dictated by the “intersection” of sounds and silences across the columns of the score. The realization of the piece was left in the hands of Cage and Earle Brown, who assembled the tape segments by following the grid score. The choice of sounds drawn from the tape library was left to the executors of the score. Whereas Cage had not actually specified the use of silence in the score of Williams Mix, Feldman clearly had, and this is evident from the result. Speaking about the piece later, Feldman famously said that he “loathed the sound of electronic music.” He disliked the labor of executing a piece by cutting up magnetic tape and didn't feel the result was justifiably unique. He also said, “John [Cage] says that experimental music is where the outcome cannot be foreseen. . . . After my first adventure in electronic music, its outcome was foreseen.” 3:24 John Cage Variations I from Darmstadt Aural Documents Box 2 – Communication (2012 NEOS). Two Pianos, Electronics, Radio Sets, David Tudor, John Cage. This German disc is part of the Darmstadt Aural Documents projects and features recordings from 1958. This track was of the European premiere of Variations 1 and was recorded at the International Ferienkurse für Neue Musik Darmstadt September 3, 1958. This track is enlightening because it not only contains a work by Cage with purposefully scored silences, albeit by chance operations, but is also a live recording with an audience. You can clearly hear how the audience responds during the silent passages, mostly in their bemusement. Whereas the implied humor was unintentional, I often experienced this phenomenon while seeing a Cage performance. I wanted to include this as an example of what can happen when silence becomes part of a live performance. Chance operations were used to determine the placement and duration of silences. 8:50 John Cage, “WBAI” (1960) from Early Electronic And Tape Music (2014 Sub Rosa). Sine wave oscillator, record player, synthesizer, radio. Description of the piece from the score in the Edition Peters catalogue (1962) of Cage's works: “Certain operations may be found impossible e.g., 3 or 4 at once. Let the operator do what he can without calling in assistants.” Chance operations were used to determine the placement and duration of silences. This performance for sine wave oscillator, record player, synthesizer, radio. Not performed by Cage and recorded in 2013 by participants following the score. Originally presented on WBAI (NY) as a solo work scored for performance with Cage's lecture ("Where Are We Going? And What Are We Doing?"). From the comments of the score: “This composition may be used in whole or in part by an operator of machines.” Personnel on this disc include, Square-wave oscillator, Auxiliary Sounds, Radio, Robert Worby; Performer, Langham Research Centre Auxiliary Sounds, Cassette, Open-reel tape, Radio, Iain Chambers; Synthesizer, Auxiliary Sounds, Spoken Word, Philip Tagney; Turntables, Auxiliary Sounds, Open-reel tape, Felix Carey. 7:04 John Cage, David Tudor, “Klangexperimente (Sound Experiment)” 1963 from Siemens-Studio Für Elektronische Musik (1998 Siemens Kultur Programm). Interesting collection of tracks by a variety of artists invited to explore the technological possibilities of the early "Studio for Electronic Music" built and run by Siemens since 1956 in Munich and Ulm. In the case of the Cage piece, both Cage and Tudor programmed this work using punch cards, an early computer control device. Chance operations were used to determine the placement and duration of silences. 1:58 Henri Pousseur, “Scambi (Exchanges)” (1957) from Panorama Des Musiques Expérimentales (1964 Philips) is an electronic music tape composition by the Belgian composer , realized in 1957 at the Studio di Fonologia musicale di Radio Milano. Pousseur fluidly added silence patches throughout this piece, using them to create tension due to their unpredictable nature. This is an analog recording, so the silences include an abundance of tape hiss. 6:27 Ton Bruynèl, “Reflexen (Reflexes)” (1961) from Anthology of Dutch Electronic Tape Music: Volume 1 (1955-1966) (1978 Composer's Voice). Recorded in Bruynèl private electronic music studio. Another tape work that shows the potential for splicing in silence as a tool of the composer. The silences are carefully added from about the 2:14 to 4:00 mark to underscore the accelerating pace of the music. Note that the original recording has rumble from what sounds like a turntable, plus tape hiss, so the “silences” are not as abject as they are in digital recordings. 4:41 MEV (Musica Elettronica Viva), “Spacecraft” from Live Electronic Music Improvised (1970 Mainstream). Performers, Alan Bryant, Alvin Curran, Frederic Rzewski, Ivan Vandor, Richard Teitelbaum (Moog Modular synthesizer). The liner notes described the following editing process for this album that includes the random insertion of silent passages within the recorded live tracks: “The tape has been edited and interspersed with silence in accordance with a random number programme to give a representative cross-section of a concert lasting two hours.” 19:50 Maggi Payne, “Scirocco” from Crystal (1986 Lovely Music Ltd.). Composed, engineered, performed by Maggi Payne. This beautiful piece of ghostly, haunting sounds is long enough to create an expectation of a continuous soundscape, only to two drop off in two spots to present long silent or nearly silent passages. 10:26 Mika Vainio, “In a Frosted Lake” from Aíneen Musta Puhelin = Black Telephone Of Matter (2009 Touch). Produced and recorded in Berlin 2008. This piece seems to be about amplitude and inaudible frequencies, frameworked by silences. There is a pattern of eight peak tones from the start to the end of the piece. In between these peaks are quieter sounds and silences, with a tension that leans toward achieving a silent state. 5:53 Giancarlo Mangini, “September 14, 2020, from 4.50a.m. to 5.02a.m. ...and remember what peace there may be in silence” from Electronic Music Philosophy, Vol. 27: Silence (2020 Bandcamp). From the twenty-seventh collection of tracks from the collective known as Electronic Music Philosophy (Tustin, California) came this disc devoted to works composed using silence as a principal technique. In this work, there is a steady pattern of silences from start to finish, but the duration of the silences gradually increases in many instances as the work progresses. 11:38 Richard Chartier, “Herein, Then” from Other Materials(2002 3Particles). This disc includes is a compilation of tracks and unreleased works from 1999-2001. Limited to 500 copies. Composed, produced, programmed, and performed by Richard Chartier. As with many of his tracks, Chartier explores the outer reaches of human hearing. Many of the sounds in this track cannot be heard when played on loudspeakers with even moderate background noise. There are actually only two spots of abject, digital silence in this track, although due to the low frequency and amplitude of many of the other electronic tones, you might think there in nothing there. This is a clever, psychological trick. 5:02 Marina Rosenfeld, “Formal Arrangement” from Plastic Materials (2009 Room40). Composed and performed by Marina Rosenfeld. Among the various commissions found on this disc is this solo electronic work. A pattern of silences in which 25 evenly-spaced sound events, mostly gong- or bell-like tones, are each followed by a fade and then a discrete, abject silence. 2:35 Tetsu Inoue, “Super Digital” from Fragment Dots (2000 Tzadik). Composed, Programmed by Tetsu Inoue. I knew Tetsu and he would probably be embarrassed to know that I counted every conceivable “digital” silence in this special piece of music. There are 293 of them that I think one can perceive. Many are short, but because silence is an important structural component of this work, I thought it warranted a fresh listen. The longest of these silences is but 2.5 seconds. The shortness of all the tones, either audible or silent, works together to form a unity. 3:39 Miki Yui, “Balloon” from Small Sounds (1999 BMP Lab). Composed, engineered, and performed by Miki Yui. Recorded in Cologne, Germany. The composer wrote, “small sounds are to merge and fuse with your acoustic environment—please play in a transparent level; in different atmosphere.” In this piece, the silences are placed in the middle of sounds to break up an otherwise continuous noise. 2:57 Opening background music: Mooshzoom, “Silence” from Electronic Music Philosophy, Vol. 27: Silence (2020 Bandcamp). From the twenty-seventh collection of tracks from the collective known as Electronic Music Philosophy (Tustin, California) came this disc devoted to works composed using silence as a principal technique. Plus clips from the following as examples: Amelie Lens, “Resonance” from Contradiction (2017 Second State); Nora En Pure, “Norma Jean” from Come With Me (2013 Enormous Tunes). Opening and closing sequences voiced by Anne Benkovitz. Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes.

Der VW Corrado – Sportwagen aus Kostengründen (1988-1995) Eigentlich sollte der Corrado Nachfolger des Scirocco II werden. Doch irgendwie liefen in Wolfsburg bei der Entwicklung die Kosten aus dem Ruder und ein Corrado wurde plötzlich fast doppelt so teuer wie ein Scirocco. VW reagierte und positionierte das neue Modell eine gute Klasse höher. Das Sportcoupé wurde plötzlich auf dem Papier und damit in den Prospekten ein Sportwagen – vor allem um den hohen Verkaufspreis zu rechtfertigen. Und der Scirocco blieb in Produktion und wurde ein paar Jahre parallel zum Corrado angeboten. Die Kostenexplosion bei der Entwicklung sind seit jeher ein Rätsel, weil der Corrado weitgehend auf Großserientechnik setzte: Bodengruppe vom Golf II, eine Motorenpalette, die ebenfalls in anderen Autos der Volkswagengruppe zu finden war und das etwas triste Interieur aus dem VW Passat. Das einzige wirklich Neue war das unter der Ägide von Designchef Herbert Schäfer gezeichnete Blechkleid: eine für die damalige Zeit mutige, aggressive Keilform. Passenderweise wurde der Corrado auch bei Karmann in Osnabrück und nicht in Wolfsburg gefertigt. Allerdings gab es potente Motoren, zum Debut 1988 einen 1,8-Liter-Vierzylinder, der es mit einem G-Lader auf stattliche 160 PS brachte und ab 1991 einen VR 6 mit bis zu 190 PS - mit 235 km/h Spitze der bis dato schnellste VW aller Zeiten. Mit diesen Aggregaten erzielt der leichte Corrado sportwagenmäßige Fahrleistungen, allerdings zeigt sich das recht brave Fahrwerk dieser Leistung nicht immer voll gewachsen. Als junger Klassiger ist der Corrado ein perfektes Einstiegsauto in das Oldtimer-Hobby. Dank teilverzinkter Karosserie relativ rostresistent, günstige Ersatzteile aus der Großserie, ein noch überschaubarer Kaufpreis bei gleichzeitigem Wertseigerungspotential und vor allem: jede Menge Fahrspaß. Das finden auch Ron und Frederic. Oli ist diesmal etwas verhalten, kann dem Corrado nicht so richtig viel abgewinnen, denn als Opel-Fan sympathisiert er mit dem Calibra. Was das alles mit Winzern, Wirbelwinden und Verdichtung zu tun hat – das erfahrt ihr in diesem Podcast.

Elite climber Mary Eden (aka Tradprincess) shares her struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game.  - Mary Eden is perhaps most known for her crack and off-width climbing at an elite level, but as you'll hear in our chat, she doesn't consider herself an "off-width climber"… she's a climber. A climber who seeks discomfort and charges headlong into styles that challenge her. Bouldering, sport climbing, crack and off-width… she gets after all of it, and at an incredibly high level. Just a few months ago Mary accomplished a life goal when she became the first woman to send Necronomicron on gear, an insanely cool 100ft 14a horizontal roof crack in the White Rim. Mary is humble, honest, and an incredible example of what can be accomplished with focused hard work, an open mind, and a seemingly bottomless well of stoke. I think you'll find this conversation very relatable, and very motivating.  - Petzl is the official gear sponsor of The Struggle.

«Quando vedete una nuvola salire da ponente, subito dite: “Arriva la pioggia”, e così accade. E quando soffia lo scirocco, dite: “Farà caldo”, e così accade. Ipocriti! Sapete valutare l'aspetto della terra e del cielo; come mai questo tempo non sapete valutarlo? E perché non giudicate voi stessi ciò che è giusto? Quando vai con il tuo avversario davanti al magistrato, lungo la strada cerca di trovare un accordo con lui, per evitare che ti trascini davanti al giudice e il giudice ti consegni all'esattore dei debiti e costui ti getti in prigione. Io ti dico: non uscirai di là finché non avrai pagato fino all'ultimo spicciolo».

Il racconto "Audace" è quello di un viaggio, che dalle colline del Carso ha portato 6.492 bottiglie di Prosecco Doc Trieste a 20 metri di profondità nel Golfo della città, per affinarsi e maturare.Underwater Wine rappresenta un sogno territoriale: affinare il Prosecco Doc Trieste nel suo Golfo, utilizzando l'esperienza di un grande gruppo come Serena Wines 1881 e l'estro di una azienda del Carso come Parovel vigneti oliveti 1898.Il Prosecco Doc Trieste, che alla profondità di 20 m, si è affinato con parametri straordinariamente peculiari: la temperatura, la salinità, la concentrazione di ossigeno disciolto, la presenza di fosfati, silicati, nitriti, nitrati e clorofilla. Tutti questi parametri naturali mutano con le stagioni e con il passaggio dei venti garantendo ad Audace Prosecco Doc Trieste spumante l'unicità gustativa e caratteriale. La Bora e lo Scirocco generano importanti oscillazioni sub-inerziali che contribuiscono al continuo movimento delle bottiglie e questo continuo cullare ha portato ad un'evoluzione singolare e straordinaria.

Las marcas puramente generalistas han ofrecido sino siempre, casi siempre, en sus gamas, un modelo deportivo. Y si no siempre, casi siempre, han fracasado. Los deportivos de las marcas generalistas sistemáticamente han fracasado… aunque hay explicaciones y hay excepciones… ¿Es lo mismo coupé que deportivo? Sí y no. De un coche con carrocería coupé se espera una cierta deportividad, por prestaciones y comportamiento. Pero hay coches muy deportivos con carrocerías nada deportivas, como son todos los Gti y algunos ejemplos paradigmáticos, como puede ser el Mitsubishi Evo, un coche muy deportivo con carrocería de taxi… Los coches deportivos solo mantienen su valor y su caché si son de marcas Premium… o semi-Premium y que siempre han cuidado mucho esta categoría. El caso Toyota. Si atendemos a su variada gama, que empieza muy abajo Toyota es una marca generalista. Pero es una marca que, en muchos mercados, entre ellos es español, se percibe como algo más que generalista, quizás, entre otras cosas, a su contrastada calidad. Y también, quizás, porque siempre han cuidado este segmento de los coches deportivos. Toyota siempre ha ofrecido deportivos de mucho nivel. No podemos olvidar al excelente Supra ni al Celica ni al MR2 de motor central. Y en la actualidad sigue cuidando este segmento. Volkswagen: La sombra del Golf es alargada. VW es otra de esas marcas que podíamos definir como semi-Premium y que siempre ha cuidado el segmento de los deportivos, con coches como el Corrado y las sucesivas generaciones de Scirocco… pero siempre a la sombra del Golf. Los refinados Honda. No me quiero olvidar de Honda, otra marca muy especial y que siempre ha tenido deportivos en su gama, algunos muy modestos, como el S600 que pude conducir en un rallye de regularidad, el precioso S2000, el polivalente Prelude o su majestad el NSX. Hyundai Coupé. En este caso no hay duda: Hyundai es una marca generalista. Y en sus comienzos, una marca con imagen casi de Low Cost, como era el caso de todas las coreanas. Pero es que Hyundai se lo curró de verdad. Fui a la presentación de la primera generación (1996-1999) y probé la versión de 1.8 litros y 130 CV. Muchos compañeros míos decían que el coche era muy feo, algunos que corría poco y ninguno que no fuese muy bien de bastidor… Los fracasados. He elegido unos pocos, aunque hay más. Los he elegido por que son coches todos ellos que probé en su momento y algunos de ellos, también después, ya como clásicos. Vamos por orden alfabético. Citroën SM (1970-1975) ¿Un fracaso el SM? Ya sabéis que es un coche que me encanta, pero sí, fue un fracaso. El Citroën SM debutó casi al mismo tiempo que la crisis del petróleo. Y por mucho motor Maserati que llevase un deportivo tan caro, tracción delantera y bastante delicado… no interesaba demasiado. ¿Se adelantó a su tiempo? Puede ser. Ford Cougar (1998-2002) También estuve en la presentación de este coche en Alemania. Y acerté en su momento cuando dije que este coche no iba a triunfar. ¿Era un mal coche? Pues no, pero no era deportivo para nada y su estética, en mi opinión, era un poco anodina. Fiat Coupé (1993-2000) Honestamente, no so muy fan de Chris Bangle, diseñador de este coche… que desde luego es original y llamativo, pero no me parece un coche de verdad bonito. Aunque voy a ser honesto: Al contrario de muchos de los coches de esta lista, que han envejecido mal, creo que a este coupé la pasa lo contrario. Opel Calibra (1989-1997) Este coche no era ni más ni menos que un Vectra con carrocería coupé. Pero con la aparición del V6, del Turbo, de 4x4 y su participación en el DTM, se le dio bastante lustre. Peugeot 406 Coupé (1995-2005) Este coche no solo fue diseñado por Pininfarina, sino incluso fabricado cerca de Turín. Y es que es un coche bonito que tuvo éxito, del que se vendieron más de 100.000 ejemplares. Suponía el retorno de la marca a este segmento y se ofrecían versiones con motor 2.0 litros de 136 CV y un V6 de 3.0 litros y 207. Siempre fue un coche cerca del concepto GT, coche bonito pero práctico y cómodo, y lejos del concepto deportivo. Renault Fuego (1980-1982) Poner una carrocería coupé y un motor más potente a un R18 no lo convierte en deportivo. Y luego ya, si para colmo, le pones un motor turbodiésel… pues ¿Qué queréis que os diga? El Fuego fue un buen coche, especialmente valorado en Argentina, donde se le vio mucho en competición. Conclusión. Los usuarios amantes de los deportivos valoran mucho la marca. Pero esto no es solo una cuestión de “marquismo”, que también, sino de diversión al volante. El mayor problema de los deportivos generalistas es que no eran deportivos, sino coches con carrocerías más bonitas destinadas a personas que no necesitaban una berlina.

Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center. Listeners in the Americas and Oceania can learn more about the indigenous people of your area at https://native-land.ca/.

Mercoledì e giovedì il clou: l'innalzamento di un anticiclone africano all'altezza del Mediterraneo centrale, comporta la risalita di correnti calde di Scirocco, che portano con sé un buon quantitativo di sabbia sahariana. Le zone più colpite dal fenomeno saranno quelle alpine centro-occidentali, Sicilia, Sardegna e le regioni tirreniche, ma il fenomeno sarà evidente anche in Veneto.
