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

Has anyone had their engine 'Terracleaned'?

I think there was an old episode of Wheeler Dealers that did that to a Jag. Have a look in their video section.

Hmm, having searched 'Terraclean' on a particular FB group I'm in, it seems like a lot of people think it's a waste of time, the results of which don't last particularly long...

What are the prices like in NZ? I was looking for one a few years ago, and briefly researched South African cars (briefly as it's far too much faff to really consider one)

Looks like BMW saw all the memeing about the kidney grille going XXL and used them for inspiration.

New Defender looks pretty good. Waiting to see the Commercial variant but the 90 in mate green on white steelies with a front winch...

That has to a joke? Looks like a pigs snout

Umm.... I’m no OG Defender fan boy by any means. But actual WTF with the new one. What the fuck is that thing?

I know the world loves these ugly as hell wacky 4x4 things these days, and they will obvs sell them by the boat load and we’ll see them up and down the country tackling the treacherous terrain of the school run (what ever happened to having to get yourself to school on the shitty 30 year old bus that stank of piss BTW!?), but that thing should in no way be linked to the actual Defender.

Is liek a mini 4x4.

As 4 German styling.

LOLZ

spot on dude. let it out

Hehe.

the fuck is all this shit?

Holy shit, talk about self fulfilling meme prophesy. This is the type of car I used to draw as a kid. It looks hideously obnoxious, and it'll sell in the millions.

say what you will about the new defnedor, it's a damn site more looky than most of the hideous 90's wanker barges that get posted up and down this thread.

Now it's turning into a proper internet car thread.

There are other similar 'cleaning' products and some say it doesn't work.

number 3 on the list, which your insurance premium is sure to reflect

Nissan Sunny?!

Are we in 1981?

Why can't I stop looking at VW Caddy pickups?

still on the roads here, though the later 2000s models

The name Sunny was used elsewhere long after they stopped using it in the UK.

I’ve seen two at $25k NZD that are club spec rally cars ready to go with rego/ WOF

Hah, i did get a couple of quotes already and it didn’t seem that bad?! Around $500nzd

what sort of excess was quoted?

Just looking at it now, if I chose a WRX STI and use the address of the house i’ve Fawning over online, it’s $1200 fully comp with $500 excess

By comparison, the Golf R I was looking at was newer and cheaper to insure by some margin
