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

;)

For some reason where I roll, mothers tend to pick up their kids from school in those

Yeah, I don't get why city people need them other to show off their dough!

City people have Ferraris and Cayenes. Over here Nigerians have 4x4 to survive in the bush. Oh, wait - they're not in the bush anymore. And all the drivers of those twatty 4x4s are women wearing black sunglasses.

Lotus Cortina Mk1's are surely the definition of car porn though?

I was kidding =P Every second post I make on this thread is a Lotus.

Like this one:

We'll have no 4x4 hatred on here thankee kindly, we're all about the love here in the car appreciation thread... unless it's something manky...

how about this for rare... 250 GT (PF)

nice - strange coachwork.
it looks like boano, but not quite.

i still think it is hard to beat the 166 mm barchetta. possibly the best proportioned little car ever made. beautiful.

250 GT (PF)... Pininfarina no?

he designed them, but different carrozeria (sp) made the bodies, when they were unable o keep up.

there were a few that did the 250gt, ie boano, scaglietti, zagato, etc

Scaglietti was the best (by miles imo)

found it - boano with weird bumpers.

normal :
