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

Are you gripping the wheel for dear life?

How would you hold a wheel like this?

4.2 supercharged V8 and rear wheel drive.

Based on that only? Shaguar

Yep s type....

Probably about to go for an s4 avant. Want something sporty while I'm young, practical for impending arrival and safe for pregnant wife in meantime. It's ticking all the boxes at the moment.

Just learnt Mazda made a 3 rotor rotary engine with the Eunos Cosmo. Don't even care it was only available as an auto, as Japanese luxury mafia cars go it's up there.

Rotary you say?

Those are on my list. One day I want a 945 GLE with the swampy suspension. Or a 965 while I'm at it. And a 245 GLE with all the chrome. And an Amazon as well.

I do wonder about duff chassis Cerbera+245 Torslanda+Bad Obsession Motorsport.

I can't imagine why. They were fucking awful cars then and they certainly haven't improved with age.

In the same way that the mark 2 escort was a dreadful car.

It's about ticking the boxes from my youth. My w124 was that as I used to borrow one when I was 18. My dad had 745 GLE, hence wanting that. My sister had a 960 and I grew up in the back seat of a vomit smelling 245 GLE.

They might be shit, but it's rose tinted shit.

Heres my Money Pit...

rad, post more pictures

an example of one of the beautifully hand crafted repair panels(not by me)

As found. Off the road since 1986.

Superb! Amazing metal work there. Looks like there was a lot to replace.

Jeysus the potential.

Incredible skill on the repair panel- the work of Barry, or someone else?

Oh hai

Proper Porker...
