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

Especially when the Evo-approved Fiesta ST is like 18k or something (can we check this?-Ed)

My brother has a Fiesta ST (he works for Aston and Ford are their company cars). It's fast but anyone over 24 looks a cunt in one.

That's pretty succinct.

will i get 5 yoko a048r tyres into the back of a golf? mgb sized...

Still, I mostly like the 'wrong' Porsches, like the 928, the 944 and the 996 Carrera 4. And my favourite air cooled one is the 3.2 Carrera CS.

Same, fairly practical too!

Thanks; i try.

He's 27 by the way. Definitely looks a cunt in it.

The 3.2 Clubbie is mental money now, over £100k for a decent one I'd imagine.

924S and basic skinny 996 with orange lenses are the ones to get for a half-sensible price.

If the fucker can swallow your robust frame, 5 tyres will be a walk in the park.

There's a black Tesla Model S that commutes to Canary Wharf around the same time as me... I like it, has proper sized wheels and reminds me of a Maserati. Better in real life than in pictures.

Ha. Fuckwit.

Still, thought ford sold aston 10 years ago.

At jaguar/landrover you get jags xf or xe.

Just seen one right now out here in Queensland, bloody nice looking car... Thought it was an Elise at first, had to do a double take...

That'll be a Roadster, then, not their S. I had to do some work in the Lotus factory years ago and they were making Roadsters: they're just Elises with elec-trickery where petrol should go.

Did anyone else make it down to St John's Wood today? There was a decent selection of tasty metal on show.

fuck, that's some line-up.

in other news, the tyres were an easy fit in the boot of the golf. cage goes in and i am ready for brands gp circuit. the mgs on track lot are letting my mate in the alfa join us, so it will be the first time we get to go out together. exciting.
