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

Eric Clapton

Get the fuck away from that car. Don't say you weren't warned.

Imagine all the racist bantz taking place in that car!

Eric Clapton is single-handedly behind every airplane related celebrity death since 1959.

There's no evidence to suggest he wouldn't use a car.

I've never really enjoyed watching drifting on tracks/yards much but this is insane.

One angry Nissan.

Any instructors here or anyone know of decent instructors in North London?

Not that i'd forgive him, but that is one beautiful car

Reviews suggest the new Audi system is quite good.

The digital dash is the best in the business (though Mercedes is catching up). The nav & in car entertainment is good when sat still. The climate & car settings are a disaster if you actually want to use them when you're driving.

I really want the 240 estate with T5 engine on eBay. I think I’d end up sinking thousands into it though.

link!?

this one:

It's been on for a while (a month at least?) at that price. 10K seems a bit optimistic

That’s the one. I spoke to Craig at Dynotorque about it, he said (ominous music starts playing) “it needs finishing”.

Which means interior, exterior, LSD, and then to take it to the next stage, forged engine and on and on.

The Mini is officially for sale.
PM me for any information/ test drives.
Needs must. Sadly.

I say do it...

It went really well for you, cost wise, with the last Volvo you had and you've got two really cheap to run cars already.

:)

Was just on a run through the Cator Estate in Blackheath village and saw an early Peugeot 306 ( late 90s?) with a three character reg plate which I suspect is worth over half of what my house is.

Quite a statement to have that on a banger.

Anyone going to players @ goodwood this sunday?

Same, keep 'watching' it when it gets relisted and hoping the starting price keeps dropping.

shame dude. so short lived. hope you can reignite at a better time.

reckon it would be shit loads of fun. but I already have one very small car to look after

Career change has brought unexpected costs. Life works that way...
Just as I'd got it completely sorted too.

I think the former is more important in the grand scheme of things. There can always be another with your personality to it again. More fun for future times

Much wood

This is one of my favourite threads on lfgss but im increasingly struggling with my love of cars and the collapsing environment.

I'm excited about getting a Polestar

Have you pre-ordered?

I cancelled my pre-order as i now need to swap my car by the end of the year but i'm hoping they're really successful.
