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

God that's lovely

Hahaha don't be! So now you've seen the Beemer... Or is your knowledge limited to Alphas?

it is a 2002 series

Parallel parking would be a doddle with this much lock:

Never liked those headlights

I'm not a fan of the 7 series full stop to be honest.

Kermit up there is quite funny though- pokey, also.

While we're on Volvos

Saw this at retro rides gathering. It's brilliant.

Fuck me NH we don't need anyone else posting fucking Volvos!!!

Mid air Ferrari' however.

And I would chop off my left nut to own this.

The colour is SO wrong but I think it looks immense!

Meanwhile on some sinkhole estate:

Didn't Hippo post that up a couple of weeks back?

Maybe, it happened back in April.

Colour on that Dino is definitely very right!!

it seemed right that these should be on this page.

Has lynx gone a bit Gazza in a dressing gown?

He got banned for crying wolf too much

If that's what you're asking cause sometimes I don't understand half the words you use...

I wonder what the least power you could have fun with is, if you made a really, really light car?

i.e. a carbon chassis, two seats, narrow and light wheels etc etc with (say) a 300cc twin cylinder, or perhaps even smaller?

200bhp/ton is a good benchmark to aim for

Is even that much needed with skinny tyres?

That's quite a lot, in fact

Sort-of relevant link is sort-of relevant:

Apart from all the weight and power... But I thought it made an interesting point, nonetheless.

Not a huge amount really. A Pug 306 weighed just over a ton and had 170bhp

Pug 106 race cars weigh in around the 850kg mark and some are pushing 220-230bhp
