the 10 of 12 given words:
dusk misgiving 
strangleweed (the dodder,a plant in the morning glory family)
grimalkin (an old female cat: an ill-tempered woman)
augur (to conjecture from signs or omens)
cabal (a small group of secret plotters)
ether (the rarefied element formerly believed to fill up space)
tattered dripping curse

Note: The Mini Cooper S won the Monte Carlo
Rally on three occasions, in 1964, 1965 and 1967.

from dusk to dawn
without misgivings
of high performance
with turbocharged engine

frequent rally winner works machine
where those others could just dream
a strangleweed like a grimalkin
augurs well on its own steam

not necessary for cabal connections
but in ether notions fleeting
extending awe with excitement
not tattered but dripping

with entertainment glory
devoid of curses but appreciation
winner in Monte Carlo Rally
in its heyday on a few occasions
