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

when i was a bit younger I used to love cars (just before I got my own-now sold), and dreamed of owning a ford mustang from the good old days. Today, at that dealership on the random part of the A3 between East Putney and Clapham, I saw a beauty.
that is the first time in a very long time I've been taken aback by a car.
it was stunning.
And then later in the day, was out near twickenham, and a garage had what looked like a 1920s mint bugatti or something in the front, wowser.

I blame you entirely, ms. Bellezza.

There, I'm done, now i can go back to my car hating ways.
My dad is, and always will be a car freak. doesn't have anything interesting apart from the TR6 which hes owned since his uni days.

I can't imagine trading in my bike for a car now, and driving around today confirmed it.
however as purely mechanical things, they are quite something.

but as with bikes, they are mechanical things and to that extent I find it hard to compare with other amazing things, like the fresh powder on an untracked run, or the view from the top of a big hill in London, or the unbelievable design in the new skyscrapers at the edge of the city.

thus to end my random post:
this is what i hope to be doing in 3 days time:

on these (ski porn):

this thread is both hilarious and very upsetting.

blame me if you must! everyone else does :p

Ill be boarding in Meribel in a week and I cant wait! ...hey... we could start a new thread, snowboard porn.... or yes... ski porn... oh but wait... we cant, its inappropriate, has nought to do with a bike now does it?

I love my bike :]
