2010 New England Auto Show

Posted By:  PatrickM @ Dec 1 2010, 06:14 PM



The 2010 New England Auto Show got under way today in Boston. It is one of the largest automotive events in New England and it features some very exciting cars. Two of this years most highly anticipated cars are not exotics from Italy or Germany, but electric vehicles, the Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf. Both of those cars will be on display at the New England Auto Show. There will also be several future cars, plenty of high performance and luxury cars as well as some classic collector cars.

PMC has been idle for too long...

Posted By:  PatrickM @ Nov 21 2010, 09:10 PM


It has been almost one whole year since I have posted anything on this site. So far, my goal of turning this into an active web community for auto enthusiasts has not been realized. I've had a lot going on in the past year and to say that I pushed PMC to the back burner would be a huge understatement. To date, I have done almost nothing to get this site rolling. That isn't to say that I haven't wanted to and that there haven't been plenty of opportunities. This year I've attended rally events, American Le Mans races, numerous exotic car meets, and I've logged thousands of miles behind the wheel of some of the most exciting automobiles on the planet. All of those experiences are great material to write articles about and I've got some excellent photos to go along with them. We are going into the dry season for car events, many people are putting their cars in storage and hunkering down for the winter. I hope to use the next few months to recap some of my favorite automotive events from 2010 and begin planning things for 2011. I hope that you will check back here often to see what's new and become a member of the Premier Motoring Club Forum.

Thank you for visiting

E'Go Revolt

Posted By:  PatrickM @ Nov 24 2009, 11:14 PM


About a year ago, the Russian company E-Go announced plans to build a GT/Supercar called the Revolt, which would be essentially a Mitsubishi 3000GT with a new skin designed by E-Go. It is worth noting that the 3000GT changed very little throughout its lifespan and the last ones sold in the US as 1999 model year cars, were essentially identical to the first cars that were brought here in 1991. As such, E-Go would be selling "new" cars featuring components that are atleast 10 and potentially as much as 20 years old. Time has not been especially kind to the 3000GT and reliability problems have driven down the value of the cars to a point where it is not uncommon to see them selling for 10% of what they cost new. The complex, twin turbocharged, dual overhead cam V6s are notorious for spinning bearings and the Getrag transmissions and all wheel drive transfer cases are riddled with problems as well. Certainly not the parts bin one would want to raid if they had plans of building a high dollar supercar. The biggest asset the 3000GT has is its curvacious body, which looked like nothing else on the road in the early 90's and does not look out of place in the company of some of today's finest exotics. The styling of the 3000GT, both inside and out, is truly timeless. The Revolt, atleast in the sketches E-Go has released, is certainly a good looking car but it's more Japanese robot than Italian supermodel. Hopefully E-Go has done their homework and found a way to exorcise the ghosts which have haunted the 3000GT platform for the last 20 years.
