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

It was definitely not revered the way it is now though

Different strokes. When me and my mates were starting to drive everyone thought they were rude af.

One thing that confuses me over the last few pages of z3 coupe chat is why people seem to be saying they're estates when they're clearly coupes.

It’s got a vertical rear, not sloping as per your description

Shooting brake isn't it?

Yes, technically.

Probably my #1 body style

God, here we go...

Top trumps vs. Informed technical discussion

It looks like the z3m coupe boot has less space than most hatchbacks.

FWIW I do like these. I did however once test drive Lisa Lashes old z3m ragtop and it was rickety rubbish #csb etc

I’d drive the Astra into the ground, then offer someone you know peanuts for their non-ulez wagon when that kicks in

I second this! Drive it till it falls apart then pick up a much loved car from a rich older person that has to get a Honda jazz to beat the ulez.

Is everyone trolling @nefarious and it's just me not picking up on it?

He's said a million times now he thinks there's between 0-1 MOTs left in the Astra and is planning ahead by researching now.

Imho the rear slopes and the boot opens like any hatchback.

Call it a shooting break if you want.

Seriously?!

That's a 26 year old Audi - avoid.

Nnnnope

Definitely not serious! Just liked the look of it - old Audi and reliable cheap runner are hardly synonymous 🥴

Nah. This, on the other hand...

Z3M what eva u call it looks tired.

Like the grill and headlights scream retired.

Just get an alpina touring.

This is like discovering a fetish you never knew existed.

Mon dieu! An extreme SM!

300hp fwd, children, in 1973!

I’ve used a seasucker with no issue for five years now @Dammit. Including two trips to France with two bikes mounted. First on my old Scirocco, then My M135i, and now my crappy middle aged person car. Worked fine with all three cars.

Takes about 5 minutes to fit, and less the one to remove.
