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

Always preferred the smaller Ducatis to the big ones. V2 over V4 if i had a choice of the brand brand news...

Would love the 899 but they're not ULEZ compliant any more so i wouldn't be able to ride it into town if i got one. Therefore 959.

Fuck Aprilia. Never really liked them. I just associate them with chavvy scooters...

That is really good of you.

Next time I see you will stand you a few drinks.

Fuck that's nice.

Also - race sled is looking ace. You can be Speed and I'll be chim-chim.

Can get the bikes ULEZ tested, even two strokes pass the test.

I like that BUT the alfaholics embellishments spoil it in my opinion.

Sorry to be a bore but I’m looking for an old pug or anything with a XUD lump for cheap or also cheap something like mark 1 galaxy tdi. Thanks!

Look for a rover 218sd with the turbo xud lump they seem to be cheaper than the pugs.

I got news for you my man. 899’s are ULEZ compliant!
..and wash your mouth out about Aprilia!!

Are they!? Great news!

Still stand by my Aprilia comment. Sorry not sorry.

looking forward to testing the rubber on race car dude. looks brilliant

And a shit steering wheel...

Just joking

..and wash your mouth out about Aprilia!!

Here here! Sorry a bit late

Say whatever you like, you are wrong. The reason why you are wrong - RS125, RS250 RSV/RST and not to mention the BMW F650.

He is wrong. But we must forgive as he doesn't understand his error. One day he will see the light.

Also this is the car thread. We should all fuck off there with this sexy aprilia rs250 talk.

@Markyboy if big red doesn’t take it I might be interested. It just so happens that I’m in need of a 5 door ... you wouldn’t fancy a swap for a ULEZ compliant ‘04 3-door Ford Ka Luxury (lol) with 30k on the clock with cash your way?

That Alfa.... Drool. Modern car designers take note. You can design a car with tall skinny tyres and have it look ace.

Also, your racer. One of my favourite internet cars. Must be satisfying working on that.

No probs, glad you checked!

There’s one other person whom PMd me yesterday, but if Richie and he aren’t interested, you’re next. I’ll have to pass on the p ex though...

Cheers

The wheels and tyres are the best thing about it. They are a perfect fit. I was discussing it with a pal (the dude with the gt junior- he has those wheels now, too)

Cheers dude. It’s getting to the exciting part with the racer, that’s for sure. The fucking expensive part, too.

I am in a race to get as much done as possible before the imminent arrival of no. 2, then a house move a month after that.

Should get a bit done on paternity leave.

Joking!

Ha... Poor Sarah... 😂

This week was mostly sexy car rear ends and rear window porn week, I'm hella exciting chat at parties me.

Sexy concave window on this CX Gti

The always amazing SM

Stretchy bubble back window RX7

And my spot of the week and a car I've never seen before. It gets a special mention as nearly every other Bristol I've ever seen looks all sculpted and curvy like Riki Lake from the rear, but the front is usually a car crash and much more Ricki Parfitt. This is the only 4 door Bristol apparently, and is a very cool really dark green not the black it looks like in the pics. Love the little fins on the back and interesting glazing all round in a hotch-potch allotment greenhouse made from car windows kind of way. Cool wheels too, nicest Bristol I've ever seen, a 1955 Bristol 405.

Is it worth a weekend of a group of people coming down to help or would that be a hinderance?
