Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Yeah I read all about that before, so interesting and just amazing scale.

Just found a photo of the golf I had from 16-22 felt all sad inside. Miss this p.o.s

Got taken for a spin in this on Sat.
It was mega :-)

I'd love a cobra replica.

it's all about the wheels and the roll bar - make or break for me.

Halibrands and a chrome hoop of functional futility...

It's a gardiner douglas, was really impressed with it. Looked good, handled well, 302 ford was with fast road cam shattered some of my preconceptions about lazy yank v8s.

Not really familiar with the 302 but a lumpy cam, breathed on 289 being wrung out is a classic aural sensation.

yep - single hoop on the driver's side and deep halibrands - no bigger than 16", with balloon tyres.

WAC, portrait format fail, etc.

somebody needs to find that car and run a screwdriver down the side of it

Is concept?

I believe so.

Picked this up today... 2.8 V6 quattro, 107k miles, full Audi SH, beautifully clean and smooth. Very impressed so far.

I playing with F1...

A classy motor. Shame Audi stopped making them like that.

Thanks - much cleaner lines, less fussy and more compact than the current A4 IMHO

Speaking of which...

New RS4 Avant out this Autumn.

Hmm perhaps I could be persuaded.... about 40 times what I just paid though i expect

My scirocco is in for a new tyre today as it had a bulge.
Just got a call saying that the wheel the tyre was on is buckled, and non repairable. Replacement is £780.
I hit a pot hole pretty hard a while back, but have been driving for about two weeks since then, and not noticed any issues other than the bulge, and the car pulling ever so slightly to the left.

WTF? How can one wheel cost that much money. Aftermarket replacement not an option as it will void the warranty (2 years remaining).
So pissed right now.

What are the terms of the warranty, i.e. what is acceptable in order to maintain the cover?
