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

I'd agree with you though, a car not driven is pointless.

Looks shiftily at Volvo

Is Ford a cool brand?

It was when they built cars that people wanted to own.

Fiesta ST, Focus RS?

Cozzies, RS 200's, Mexico's and the Lotus Cortina...

Picked up Project Cars the other day cheap stylez.

Fuck me, the quality of the sim is immense. Down to the gearbox whine/ clunk.

Here's a Ford GT MkIV taken at Monza...

Everything after the GT40 was shit. (Save RS)

Yeah I know computer games thread. >>>>>

I was following an n reg escort cosworth the other day.

/csb

Prefix ok if Cossie (did they run as far as 95?) Suffix ok if RS2000. Otherwise not csb.

@Hefty since you're on, and I happen to be supping lager in Düsseldorf and feeling quite Deutsch, its maybe time to admit my aspirations to go 996 shopping. Realistically will take me a month or two to get the readies together, but y'know, if you hear of anything :-)...
Early C2 manual 3.4, coupe, budget 15k.

Fuck. Yes. Orange lenses if you can. And seventeenz.

I hear of nothing any longer, life has moved on and I'm out of the magic circle. Assuming you want C16* keep an eye on Finlay Gorham, they often get that sort of thing.

• what the hip cats call UK spec Porsches cos it's Porsche's code for them.
  

That means it needs to be pre 2001 amirite? I guess c16 would be natural choice. Cheers for't tips, I more or less memorised your original post about that :). Always kinda fancied one but it got under my skin recently. Parents live near Yorkshire Porsche Centre so might call in next time, he seems to have a few in.

I think it's earlier than that. Like only 98-99. You can always fit orange lenses to a 99-02 car, just don't get an 02-04 with the half-arsed facelift.

I weren't sure if you were a actual kraut hence C16 comment.

Mit freundlichen gruessen.

Nein, ich bin englischer just hier on bizniz. I love the look of that first model.

Alles klaar.

Nur hier mit mein arbeit. Or something.

Lecker lecker sehr seht lecker, die sind sehr lecker.

Many LOLs at 4:12:

Thinks shiftily of the Striker (haven't driven for over 2 years), the Fury race car (haven't driven for over 1 year) and the Piglet (haven't driven for about 2 months). And the eternal shame which is the Fury Blackbird, which I've failed to finish rebuilding after only 13 years off the road since I wrote it off at Mallory, and which I'm reminded of every time I go in the garage...

This is nice.

An E46 M3 being shown up by a couple of old Volkswagen T4's:

You need a variation on the theme of Zaphod Beeblebroxes peril sensitive sunglasses which blank out cars you feel guilty about. Guilt sensitive sunnies.

Could you even get wood trim in an M3? And those are either T25s or T3s.

If I had the loot now, Id look at this one, although green interior is a bit funky. otherwise looks perfect.

That 911 is tres BOBFOC

This also means I will at some point need to sell on my 54 plate Merc C220 CDi Evo Coupe if anyone's interested. Panoramic roof, auto, black, 100k miles, factory 17"s, full service and MOT. Was thinking £3k fair but if you want to give me more obvs will be going to a good cause :).

C Class Coupe??

Are you some sort of footballer wannabe?

Tee hee. Fits right in dahn Brixtahn way.

With a diesel engine...
