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

exceptionally simple, cheap to rebuild?? those citroens are a right cunt to repair if something goes wrong

Really? What goes wrong? Its a simple pump and ram system with reserviors. Pretty basic really.

what with the old citroen ds?
pretty much everything

Cars built in slough innit.

Beautiful condition- but has someone taken the engine out?

maybe just the angle of the photo, it looks to me like it rides that high front and back.

Looks like standard ride height imo. All cars need a 30mm drop to make the arch gap look right.

stunning condition for a mk1

I've a soft spot for lincoln contis - truly excellent ride quality. (better than Cadillac)

And suicide doors on the old ones.

Didn't the cars not have central B posts to the doors just opened up.

Have decided that I needed an estate car and decided on a citroen C5 (cos they are cheap, cheap road tax and quite big and self leveling suspension.) So bought a cheap 02 Laguna 19 DCI with a blown turbo. It was cheap (silly cheap as it has a few prking marks being driven to the shops and stuff) and turbo swap should be quite straight forward.

So after I finished needing an estate it should have cost me nothing.

What happened to the Porsche?

Come to a bit of halt, due to the bodywork and interior tarting to be done. But have work in midlands for two weeks so that has taken priority.

dunno if its been posted before, but I quite like this:

From 2003 - The new fulvia

One of the only concept car I wanted to put a deposit on at the show where it was being shown..

Fuck me that's ugly. Bits of it look like revent Vauxhalls

Looks like a fibre glass bath featured somewhere in the design inspiration.

I imagine it's a Punto underneath, or would be if it gets made.

Which show was this at Lynx?

looks like some kind of imaginary astra coupé/daewoo love child

I kind of like it but it looks a bit dopey from the front. A bit like a dog that knows it's done something wrong.

yeah, it's not offensive
