fourlinks_Romanholiday

* If Ronan Glon’s reflections on his recent visit to Rome – and on the Roman old car population – are to believed, we’re glad that a) we had a chance to see the autofauna there before it started dwindling away, and b) that he brought back plenty of photos of those old cars he spotted there, including the Chevrolet Blazer.

fourlinks_Borgward

* Borgward’s planning a return, but we can probably only hope that the company resurrects its Traumwagen concept car from 1955 as its new-millennium production car.

fourlinks_videogames

* Racing-themed video games played a large part in getting today’s emerging car collectors interested in cars, so it only makes sense that nostalgia for Pole Position, Spy Hunter, and other such games would come around, as Petrolicious explored this week.

fourlinks_Darrin_900

* The Kaiser Darrin’s look changed completely once Dutch Darrin decided to build his own short run of the cars and replace the three-position formal roof with a sleeker hardtop, as Forgotten Fiberglass recently showed us.

fourlinks_MGMetro6R4s

* Finally, Group B racing of the 1980s was dominated by amped-up turbocharged four-cylinder hatches, but what would it have looked like if MG’s naturally aspirated V-6-powered Metro 6R4 really got a chance to compete? AROnline took a look at the history of the rally special last year.
