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

This is very appealing:

Don't even care it's an auto... it's 10 mins from home...

If I'm related to Minky, this is news to me, probably explains a lot.

I'm currently listening to a vinyl only Garage set on Rinse FM so it's entirely a possibility.

but 4cyl?

So clean... That's lovely...

Fuck! That is delicious.

1 of 1 means you can basically drive it as much as you want. As long as you don't crash it, it's not going to go down in value!!

Seats and interior look crazy similar to the Fiat Coupe (based on at tipo but with better rear suspension).

Remember seeing a 155 DTM (or other kind of euro touring series) car for disposal from a french car collection, think it was a fixed price of 300k euro, and that included a 40' ISO full of spares, (engine, few gearboxes and rear ends etc). Sounded like a lot but suspect it was a very good deal, took ages to sell as well!

Fuck miss fiat coupe. Anyone sees a green metallic 20vT+ 6 speed going, please tell me.

i miss my 155 T-Spark :-(

Motorhub
F*** me ......

Agreed - I listened to a wicked old school Fabio set on there recently.

Is it me or does this Motorhub place have some very nice, very cheap cars?

330Ci clubsport 134 k for under 3 grand

They have a very bad reputation

It is just me then ;)

They've got an astonishingly bad reputation, but that may not preclude there being one good car there I suppose.

I know, and an auto! But .... Surely a (excuse my BMW ignorance here) a m42 and 5 speed would be an easy conversion? Starting with such a low mileage and solid car would be a good thing right?

I still haven't completed my engine swap.

Take what you will from that statement.

^please

great shout on this dude. lovely car. my big brother is a massive Alfa fan and won't drive anything else. I am sure he had one of these at one point.

re. roadtrip to Northampton dependent on date I might be able to give you a lift up there. as it is not far out of my way when I head to Banbury at the end of the month.

Yeah bunch of absolute grade a that lot. It's a big mouldy multi storey in Keighley. Booked a time and travelled hours to look at a bunch of cars there, quickly became obvious a lot of the are ex private hire, don't even start or just mouldy. Like not a bit moudly, rancid send it to scrap kind of infestation. Add to that the guys that run it couldn't give a fuck about anything= firm pass

Went in my first electric taxi today.

Thought you all might appreciate the personal touch the had driver given it...
