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

the noise is fine but it was supposedly superimposed on some old lady's journey across paris speeded up

'It is suggested that the soundtrack was dubbed with the sound of Lelouch's Ferrari 275GTB, which has a corresponding number of gears and a similar engine note.'

Yeah many people believe it's actually a Merc ambling through the city and the video has been sped up with a new Ferrari soundtrack.

I'm not sure it's been speeded up as all the other traffic/ peds etc appear to be going at a 'normal' pace?? but I have already been proved wrong......
So... I'll just lurk for a wee while ;)

it has been the subject of much debate over the years nothing is proven or un/mis/dis-proven

The debate will rage on long after the producer is dead I imagine.

Nono, you're supposed to ride into it!

Has anyone seen this before?

I appreciate that, but the car in this is better:

Just better engineering and aesthetics all round.

Have you seen this?

That squirrel just tried to do a mikec and failed. This squirrel, on the other hand, is a real car fan.

Rather erect brifters on that ribble.

Possibly the only car Fiddy would own? (carbon fiber chassis)

They line up with the top of the bar almost perfectly. Any 'erection' is clearly something Freud will have written about. :)

i know this thread is for cars but ....
the aesthetics the engineering of bikes is also quite worthy of a thread but didn't want to start one as i know new threads cost a pound these days so i'll chuck a little something in here
