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

@Dammit
Depends entirely on how they do it. Personally I hate it when they stick a tweeter barnacle to the A pillar. I've seen some great installs where they sink it in a little, but that depends on airbags etc

Audio place said (of this picture) "like that, but nicer".

IDK what this would look like with black fabric on the pilar black:

I think in black you'd probably just never notice them unless you were looking:

The wheels are different to the usual rostyles. But no one mentioned the bonnet ;)

What engine is going in this?

one for @Dammit (well, maybe not now you're an Addison Lee driver)

150 photos ffs

they are very cool though - crazy how few of the estate version you see on the road actually (including non super-barge versions)

I wonder what it’s worth? I agree, very cool cars.

I looked at them, I think that supercharged V8 was pretty much the only petrol version they sold.

Reckon it'll go for £28-30k.

Can't quite handle the dark paint, black wheels and red caliper combo, but agreed lovely car.

They look so good in blue, but black wheels are no bueno.

Why don’t all (or more) companies, sign up to something like Octopus energy’s electric dreams scheme?

I can't handle how they neglected to clean the outside of the thing before taking pics.
Look at the state of it....

Edit: Owners name in image file names too. FFS.

There is a Ferrari FF for sale currently on collecting cars at the moment too - wonderful looking thing. FF's are the only Ferrari i would ever consider owning I think. (ignoring the fact the you have to be obscenely rich and accept that people will assume you are a bit of a cunt)

Oh, and this, obvs.

And i'm also quite taken by the R5 Campus, as i had an identical one (but with a lot more rust) as my first car. I called it Porkchop. It got killed by a drunken farmer who decided to roll his Defender 110 over it on a country lane on christmas eve 2001. The insurance paid out more for the mini-disc head that unit i had in it than for the car itself. What a thing it was.

5s are awesome

Ive always wanted an unmolested original GT-Turbo in tungsten grey, with the yellow spot lights and original five spoke wheels. My best mates older brother had one in the 90's Just like this one: https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1991-renault-5-gt-turbo

The few remaining ones that managed to get through the 90's/00's without having a dimma body kit fitted are just silly money now though. And i'm pretty sure my Abarth is a whole lot more fun to drive.

Also love this one:

Link to site, please?

I really miss my Abarth. Was almost ( but not quite ) considering selling the GTV to buy another.

That isn't a proper renault 5 and you know it.

I have so much fun every time i drive mine. I really dont know how it could be improved on a as a small, quick, fun, cheap yet also relatively practical and very reliable car.

Only thing i dont really like about mine is how loud it is, but thats because its got a Bombardone exhaust.

I dont think i could live with one as my only car, but as a second car its an absolute hoot. Especially with a remap!
