Blaire Automotive “Safer Is Better”
Technical Difficulties
Ummm. My computer is acting up in a worrisome way. So I cannot upload the new cars. And also I forgot to post them in the first place. If my computer is okay and is able to work I will get back hopefully and not forget.
Update
Gotta wipe the computer, and we can’t afford it right now. Might be a while.
I guess your really desperate to get your stuff back?
I wonder why it is acting up, it may be a malicious program, or maybe your computer has had one of its parts damaged and/or broken
I mean I was angry and kinda slammed it shut, but not hard enough to destroy it. Anyways it’s fine all we gotta do is wipe it and it’ll be fine. Theoretically.

And, anyways I want to get a car out for Frankfurt. I missed like 4-5 autoshows and I have some inspirations for vehicles that I want to make and share at Frankfurt. Oh, and spoilers: founding date moved to 1956, No more lore. Only Taimania has lore, and some new vehicle selections.

Why is the inline 6 bigger than the V8?
Because the Inline 6 needs to pull the big SUV, so it’s a bit bigger than the roaring V8.

The V8-powered version of the original Blaire Ace would have been the company’s ace in the hole for much of the 60s. 300 horsepower would have kept it competitive with contemporary Euro exotics, and at a reasonable price (for its time) to boot. The entry-level 4.6L V6 is too slow and rough for its sleek lines, though, and should never have been offered on the Ace in the first place.
