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

Is B19 BEL available?

Should be able to use a plug kit on that.

Recognise that parking bay, how was the service?

Quick, good and cheap- £14 later I was on my way

Love seeing people use a torque wrench for wheel bolts.

All the garages round here just dugga-dugga them to death - I once had to put a bit of scaffolding pole on a breaker bar to swap my wheels.

Was well chuffed when I was scrambling to get my summer wheels on and one needed repaired just before I went on holiday. Rang around and got extortionate rates from everywhere except kwikfit, went down and they were dead sound - and the young lad torqued all the wheels on! Glad I saw as I usually double check when I get home anyway.

Rad. Funny how shit cars elicit such desire.

Cars get to an age where when you see them you appreciate the work that has gone in to them to keep them on the road even if you don't particularly like the model.

wheels look great

Very cool, how far off being tax free is it?

Woah woah woah who said shit.
Basic bitch motoring is the best. Can't beat an old simple car.
Been an old Nissan fan since I started driving. First car was a k10 when everyone had the like of 6N polos etc. Still have a few K10s now and they are just the best.

Yeah, still a while unfortunately.

Cheers man. 280ZX iron cross.

As I have shiny new roof bars on my wagon, can anyone recommend a roof box? No halfords in NZ of course

Another 3 tickets today so may well be taking this route.

Every time i explain the situation to someone from another country they're incredulous that such a thing can occur.

Battery mounted. New shoes on the rear. Callipers “adjusted” to accommodate said new shoes.

used my outback as intended for a week, with the geolander tyres it'll just go nearly anywhere. I really want a big 4x4 but have no excuse to buy one! Did bottom it out a few times. Off-road I did 16.5 l/100km !

That’s rad! I’d love to have need for a 4x4. Even just a panda 4x4 or a Jimny, but alas, literally no reason to get one, lol.

The outback is so good. 3L engine so fast but then takes you anywhere in mountains no hassle. Had the traction control on a lot and just kept it gasses and got up some real steep loose stuff.

What do people think of this?

Mercedes Benz CLS-63 AMG Shooting brake.

Bit hearse-like. Rapid no doubt.

Looks great!

Rakish as heck and thoroughly handsome, if I lived in Germany I’d have one. But in congested and camera-dense Blighty I’d get a smaller engined version. A relation had the E63 and the car wanted to do 120mph+ everywhere. It also burned a lot of oil for some reason.
