Most car enthusiasts would hold onto a mint E46 BMW M3 for dear life, right? Well, we chatted to Portuguese automotive engineer and writer Joana Fidalgo to find out why she’s selling hers and to talk over an eclectic collection of other cars and bikes, including her ‘forever car’: a Suzuki Cappuccino.
Thanks to Henry’s Car Barn for hosting us: www.henryscarbarn.co.uk/

Finally a calm and down to earth car person who doesn't start by shouting "hey guys!!" - The calm zen of watching this... Would enjoy all and any content like this. Imagine having a youtuber with actual car industry knowledge and education. She represents the real car people you meet at car meets. Quite understated encyclopedias with real passion.

While you make a better attempt than most, you're still not very good at hiding your White Knight Syndrome. You wanna smash, it's cool, we all know it. It's normal to feel that way.

I have had multiple Skylines, mitsubishi VR4 galant, VL turbo with forged motor and more, and now have a 1996 Cappuccino and i can honestly say this is my favourite car EVER, the most enjoyable car to drive. Have doubled the power output and done a tone of interior, suspension and exterior mods and its awesome. Am yet to find someone keep up with my through the hills, im sure there are lots that can but yeah, its heaps quick in the twisties.

Those are theabsolute baddest ass rims I have ever seen on a Cappucino. Can relate - I've been through a whole ton of cars but the biggest smile I ever had on my face behind the wheel was my humble red 1991 MXx5. Which was, of course, restored and tastefully modified with a bit of a 1960s vibe on custom offset gold Enkei RPF1s. Nobody ever got mad at that car, ever.

Very interesting lady from my country, but clueless about the portuguese car scene apparently, I belong to several classic car clubs, do a lot of track days where "Max tunning" cars never ever get close to and that are super chill with great nice older blokes, true gentlemen drivers, there is a huge offroading scene as well for both 4x4 and bike enthusiasts and lets not forget that 800 thousand people, mostly portuguese and spanish came to watch the WRC rally of Portugal this year, I doubt we have that many Max tunning "chavs" over here... Interesting interview and would love to see her presenting more stuff tho. Wish her great luck on her endeavours.

Hey, I was specifically referring to the modified car scene. I’m from the centre of Portugal and close to the Caramulo, so I’m familiar with the classic and rally/hill climb events, but those weren’t super welcoming communities back when I was a teenage girl, nor were they super into JDM 😄 I joined my fair share 2CV events, though, which were a bit niche haha I haven’t lived in Portugal for 14 years, so glad to hear it has improved since!

Ive also had some cool and fun cars and thought my cappuccino was perhaps the most fun car ive owned. I often tracked my lotus exige daily driver, owned an R32 GTR at the same time, initial D garage :) and a 73 2002tii. All are fun in different ways. But the Cappo was the most fun. It even got 40mpg full throttle everyday. Fill ups were less than $20 (USD). Top down, 8000+ rpm, RWD manual, turbo noises. Took it on a 10hr trip each way to Miami. Baby S2000.
