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

These are parked in my endz...

The blue one makes my flute whistle.

^Those look badass

Here's my old bobtailed 1984 3.5 v6 range rover

These are great, my mum had one for years, they are slow, noisy, thirsty as fuck and have a 24v electrical system.

like my mum

Nah you want one of these. (or I do anyway....)

Cool - evil sound to it.

It does sound amazing but there's something about bouncing off the rev limiter that sets my teeth on edge a bit... but I guess that's what it's there for...

Never go on a drift day

Seen so many beautiful Land Cruisers today, I'm a smitten kitten...

'beautiful Land Cruisers'? Isn't that an oxymoron?

Find yourself a nice old 3 door Range Rover. Much nicer.

Joe, get a disco or a defender.

or alternatively...

Ure aesthetics iz out ov datez, bruv... Muscle, 4WD or GT(F)O...

Joe's new home.

^^ Is the thing in the foreground the shrivelled sun-dried remains of the driver who perished when he couldn't get the car started?

I don't think good things happen to people who buy these.

But for some reason there's something about them that people can't resist...I sell them and don't get it!

I'm debating buying a spare MAF sensor just to keep in the glovebox, is this extreme paranoia?

Character innit. They haz character. I loved my 110 county, despite the fact it took a week to get to 60mph, a 3-point-turn took about 25-points and you couldn't see out of the back window in the dark. I can still see the oil stains on the drive from 7 years ago.

I know what you mean, I just have to smile when people come in and say they're buying it because it'll be "handy for when we go camping" or "the road we live down is a bit muddy" so that's justification to buy something that really isn't that pleasant to drive on normal roads / motorways / around town / into a multi story carpark etc

We've gone full circle here. Talking about practicality on a fixed gear forum where the majority of people ride brakeless, fixed gear bikes on urban roads.

I bought a tiguan for practicality and on the off chance mrs jaw wants to drive one day. If it wasn't for that it would've been a defender.
