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

Do I dare?

Last picture kills the appeal for me.

Do I dare?

not if you have to chop a hole in the bonnet!

what size SU do you have now? I have been given a DCOE for my rebuild, so if an HIF4 is any good to you, i'll have a couple spare in the summer?

in other news, i was at silverstone today. MASSIVE track. I loved some of the really complex sections but really struggled to get my head around them. took too much speed into them most of the time.

I ended up in the kitty litter at about 75mph - on the last lap of day! the ONLY time I didn't wet the bed into copse and carried so much speed I just spun it. POOD. MY. PANTS. I think I have broken something underneath.

not the track for a car with about three horsepower, but I was passing mgfs, and the hatchbacks. had the best dices with an mx5, but he had too much speed for me in the straights.

also, this was next to me on the a40 for a couple of miles:

I love those cars.

CSB WARNING!

When I lived on Bryanston Square a guy in an F50 used to pick people up on one corner, drive round the square, then let them out again.

I always assumed he was selling them coke.

I have a 1 1/2" SU right now.
Twins?

Defo.

He could have course been providing a narrated tour of Bryanston square, at speed, in 30 seconds, to a selection of total strangers, over the course of an evening.

Commas bitchez, I haz them.

yep. i'll let you know when they are off. do a bit of research - i don't know about the a series, but the b series is pretty sensitive to over-carbing. if it is 'because race car', you might find it a crap mod...

I know. My CSB was related to, but not the same as, Richie's.

And I had pics...

Ahah kinda! Still down at the track though, just haven't really bought anything new bike wise

After a couple of years of great drives and trips its with a heavy heart that I've decided that I need something that I can put my bikes in...

New wheels arrived :D

got a new grown up car...

Needs less skull and crossbones stickers, but I like the stance and wheels.

Audi estate from Germany. Wheels and whitewalls from the 70s.

Is the camber really as alarmingly bad as it looks in the top photo, or is that just the angle the picture's taken from?

Those stickers are my mates company 'Garage Midnight'

those be the wheels before they were on the allspark

Looks like the alloy rim rather than whitewall tyres? Camber probably OTT but perhaps exagerrated by low shooting position and wide angle lens? Yah, from Deutschland for sure.

^beaten to it.
