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

I should add, this is for the girlfriends mothers second car, which is currently enjoying a flat battery due to non-use, so being able to charge from flat would be handy.

We use Ctek chargers at my dad's place and they're just the trick for all the flat TVR batteries of which there are usually many!
I'd recommend one of them.

Proof that ANYTHING :oP looks good without fenders.*

*For the American feel inherent in modern British culture.

Moved back up north last month before I move out to Toronto at the end of December. Currently having a whale of a time in this little gem

It's an absolute peach of a Eunos Roadster. 22 years old and the body is rock solid and it drives incredibly well. I've always been fond of MX's but driving this daily since I got back has made me completely fall in love with it. I will be looking for one in North America as soon as I can purchase a car.

A 24 cylinder aero-engined Packard Bentley

ah that would be great as a daily commute car!

Nice! There was an aero-engined car with a Meteor in it at this year's Klausenrennen, somewhat ironically on German plates. The only thing noisier all weekend was the supercharger on the Mercedes-Benz W25 Silberpfeil.

the german machine was just like a huge bomb ... i could help myself but laugh at it's ludicrousness
it just kept exploding with flames licking out of the exhaust pipes which were only a few inches long

I'd have that V10 R8 over almost any car out there.

No.

Chris Harris is not a twat.

And he's interesting.

took my drag car out to private test and tune on weekend, spent most of day fighting for traction ( crap tyres, pinion angle not right). best run 10.59@129mph with 1.62 60ft. pretty happy, still a bit left in it.

Not branching out as such, his bonnet project has been running for well over two years and he's done plenty of four-wheel stuff including livery for Nelson Piquet Jr's NASCAR race truck.

YA YA YA.

One of my fav.

Only thing as that main pic illustrates really well is wheels to big for body.

Just needs to be revised slightly.

Ovlov?

Nah, 4 rotor Mazda 13B rotary from the look of it.

Is that the one that'll be going in the 240?

Yep, although I think it's a 140.

The work he is doing is nuts- he's making the entire engine:
