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

Once the boost comes in you have to be careful in my antique dealers special or you need a new pair of tyres

Just get some antique tyres then, Lovejoy.

Not sure who's heard about this, but my favourite Fezza just became the most expensive car ever sold.

Vile colour.

Life flashes infront of scooter rider.

Ha. Best thing I ever saw in East London was 4 hipsters in a Saab 900 Turbo smoking out a queue of traffic behind then going through as the lights turned yellow. So many people standing and staring with shocked looks on their faces.

Hipsters would be in a 9000 turbo.

For the irony.

You can get a reliable 400 bhp out of those T4's.

Still says 'Volvo' on it though! ;)

On another note I saw a Euro style original Nissan Micra on the road in B'mouth. Considering it is the car I most detest I was really taken aback at how brilliant it looked, perhaps I'm appreciating the irony factor.

I'm fairly certain GuerillaPhoto on here was the owner/builder of this beastly Turbo Metro:

I think some irony there.

I tried to buy that around 5 years ago I'm sure. if I'm honest I still love it, nippy small engine and it would be a great laugh!
