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

I'm lurking in here all the time, just waiting for Michael to run out of images to stay on topic. ;)

Not a chance, at the minute i've been limiting myself (with the exception of the AE86 and 512BB) to front-engined, rear-wheel drive, british lightweight sports cars that I love, what i've posted so far is just the tip of the iceberg, I was tempted to retaliate to every off-topic post with a collection of about 10 pics, but the forum would probably blow up. We'd need to get a new intercooler or whatever the computer translation is for it =P

Anyway, back on topic =D

Great to see a stylish British (actually british, cough Aston/Jag/Rolls/Bentley cough) sportscar showing those pesky Germans how it's done.

I'm getting one of these for my commute.. fixed is dead come 2009!

Try this Hippy, Annoy everyone with a 4X4 and guns.

Hippy's already putting this together for the "iambecomedeath" mobiles

now you're talking it's payback! where are those 4 x 4's?

I saw the cunt bike on FGG and was under the impression that Hippy was too hardcore for brakes.

Chelsea?

dems not brakes, dats de trigger

Now, on the car front... this is the kind of thing I need to drive around the Amalfi Coast in:

wow, gorgeous.

wow, gorgeous.

Roger that, you're talking about the "car enthusiasts" in the picture right.....I had no idea car-lovers were such an interesting and good-looking bunch...count me in!

Must have been Brighton v. Everton...

Aston Vantage GT4 ....

Vantage N24 won the overall crown at this year's 24 Hours Nurburgring...anyone see it? spectacular!

my first car...

will this thread run out of "desirable" cars or will it perpetuate forever with progressively lower status cars? ending with the Austin Allegro maybe?

Doesn't get any lower than a Humvee.

The little darlings need something to aspire too.

It's got about as good a chance as the bike porn thread of fading out.

mmccarthy did you know the MX5 was the only non British made car to be offered in BRG?

I love MX5s, I had an imported one in BRG for about 2 months. It was on loan from my uncle.
Has anyone put a pic of a Yellowbird here yet?

This is serious automotive porn, The Reyland Escort Cosworth:

I did not, quite an interesting fact, very fitting that is is available in BRG though. Was considering an MK1 MX-5 but the insurance is a bitch for me. Think i'll stick with my original plan and go with one of these:

Nope, no Yellowbirds yet, they are a crazy machine though.

Gotta admit i've never seen that Escort before, but any Cosworth collaberation truely has a place on this thread.

I think the Reyland is pretty much classed as THE FINEST Escort Cosworth ever produced by a tuning company. They even entered the Gumball 3000 in 2004. I believe they crashed though, unlucky.

That's a shame, it's always the nice ones that have the bad luck (and the ones drove by idiots of course) i've always loved this myself.

.......my therapist said I had low self esteem!

dreaming about cars and the marketing for them.
