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

Just needs a 70 Monte-Carlo body dropping on it like they did in Roadkill....There's loads of this nonsense around. Sooner or later, I'm bound to make a terrible mistake and buy something (else) preposterous.

I'm probably over excited someone else on this forum lives in LA...

nice! too nice to tear up, though?

in saying that, the [big] red mgb is turning out to be a bit of a bastard.

Doesn't look like it needs much! Nifty things those little Falcons - much smaller than the later ones (and galaxy's) that raced over here.

What's up with the B? Such a huge amount of work stripping and rebuilding a car. Daunting.

Hello Bright - whereabouts in town are you? We could have forum drinks. Might be a bit lonely...

I can't spare that amount of time for washing a car

You seem to have plenty of time to piss about on Auto trader, eBay etc....

;)

Living the dream as my Texan colleague says

Spotted this morning in Holborn

supercool

you could probably ship that here for a grand.

Not my photo but these are the same parts - on the right what came out, on the left what went in when my engine was rebuilt:

Gorgeous...

Plug for my local event this weekend, the Kop Hill Climb http://www.kophillclimb.org.uk

I'm not connected in anyway but it's a pretty cool event with some interesting machinery competing and static. Easy enough to get to from Princes Risborough station if you don't want to drive for any reason

I'm sure I read a story in Evo maybe in about 1998 about how the Dino was totally unloved and they rented a shabby one really cheaply. Look at them now!

Finally drove an R34 GTR in Japan, it was pretty epic. I think I want one.

R32 or... :o)

You've just been reading too much SpeedHunters. That recent article with the red R32 perhaps...?

R32 is hnnnnnnnnnngh

I'm sure the R34 is superior in every way.

Just looks like a WRC Impreza. :o)

The original grey import.

A Renault 5 turbo went past me on the way to mile end tube station. body kit front mount massive exhaust, very max power style. I'm almost surprised any of them are still on the road first one I've seen since i came over 3 years ago.

378, surprisingly: https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=renault+5+turbo&commit=Search

Fiat dino, or Dino. Dino was created by ferrari as an affordable sports car hence Fiat making the engines not ferrari.
