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

I drove to Goodwood in a rather scary 5 litre 928.

Dude wearing flip flops ffs.

Or chuck them under your seat. Love driving in bare feet in summer.

Can't stop laughing

I assume the petrol station is its natural habitat?

Wtf is all this barefoot driving chat, you're all perverts.

Rad

Ridonculous.

Needs a detail.

Can’t wait to see this

Need to visit Wales soon I think

666 the number of the beast

It’ll be costly in that, start saving.

Even better stick some bikes on the roof to add a bit more drag

I assume the LT4 supercharger would be fairly straightforward?

Please... I need to not spend money beyond keeping this running

Sounds like a plan

This answer also has frustratingly been applied to one's self today. 2 nails. Urgh.

Mental. Love it dude

Even better stick some bikes on the roof to add a bit more drag

I had that when I drove to Switzerland and back in a weekend 2 years ago with three bikes on the roof and three (different) bikes on the roof on the way back. I ended up going slower on the way back because it got depressing watching the fuel gauge visibly moving, and the time I was saving with the higher speeds was being offset by more time spent refuelling.

It ended up costing me over £600 just in fuel.

It is a corvette in a funny dress.

Yours is a sorted monaro ;) if you have not thought about the supercharger you are dead to me.

Your child needs to know the joy and sound of the supercharger....

Still

Stop in Luxembourg and fill 4 20 liter jerry cans.
As a teen and early twenty I could easily drive from near Birmingham to Naples in one hit. Then as I got older I stopped in Turin with family. As I have got older I prefer stopping in b&b and taking my time.
I have driven to Naples in a series 1 diesel land rover....that was returned to the UK on a trailer as I was not doing that again

researching a car to buy is dangerous. I’ve started off thinking “yeah I’ll just buy something practical like a yeti or a golf”, then I’ve graduated to “well I don’t have any kids or dogs so why shouldn’t I get something fun like a gti” now I’m on “might as well go all in let’s just take a look at i30N reviews”…

@NurseHolliday that is rad.

Somehow it loses all its dirtbag Aussie bogan character and becomes a charming larrikin over there.

I reckon get the AUS style rear light clusters on there and a set of these:

Those are cool!! Looks like they only do them in 8" wide though.

The lights are the same aren't they?

Love driving barefoot. Any chance I get
