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

The Miura has to be in any top five car list. Sure, it’s the obvious option, but I challenge any to question it.

1. Miura
   
2. 250 gto/gt cali/lusso
   
3. McLaren f1
   
4. Cobra
   
5. *left for taste
   
   

*f40/gt40/e type/c type/911/MGB

Bentley r type conti fastback
Talbot Lagos teardrop
Gullwing

Maybe I need a top 10

300SL has to feature for me

Gullwing

Ah beat me to it

@Pifko ended up going for it, was super clean for £900 and drove really well plus everything worked

I’d swap the Cobra for a GT40 and the 288GTO might get a look in...

New radio arrived. Previous owner has messed with the wiring here so Im lost. Anyone able to help?

The thing you're holding in your hand in the first pic is an adaptor to match the oem sterio with the aftermarket one you just took out.

It may or may not work with your new one.

It doesnt. The only connectors that fit together were the one that comes out of the radio and the one that comes out of the car in the first pic, with the brown and red wires

Edit: the old adaptor came off, the one that came with the radio worked. Happy days, just need to wire in the boot speakers

You won't regret it. I'm sure of that. Enjoy Derby- its a surprisingly OK place to live, despite all the nay-sayers. ;)

Countach is the best lambo.

Because it is the most radical.

It will always look like the future.

This is the best overlooked supercar imo.

The Super Sport EB110

wow. looks like it was designed by the cunt who designed my hoover

though have masses of respect for the Countach

Do u mean Dyson? He could never pen something like that. Altho I believe his next project is a car.

My hoover is made by Philips. but I guess it was just something about the overwhelming plasticness of it.

Yes it is a slab of moulding somewhat. So fat and rad in doing so.

It's quad-turbocharged as standard, got to love it.

CSB etc....i used to have a part time job delivering meat for a butchers in Epping, I drove into a pub car park one day, and parked next to a Countach.....I knew the landlord, so bowled in and loudly exclaimed
'I'm really sorry, I've just parked my van on that Sinclair C5 out there....'

Yeah.... so Rod Stewart had a humour bypass......

I saw a black 110 in Putney about two weeks ago. Sensational.

In other news. Almost certainly won't be as good as their precursors.

Still. 😎 💪

Argh, my clutch is acting up again only a year since it was replaced. Might be the throwout bearing if I'm lucky or it might be the flywheel which wasn't replaced last time apparently.

I've now set up a saved search for an alfa Romeo 159 sportswagon. Seems sensible to make the switch as the volvo v70 has been at the garage so much ;)

Replacement of all associated parts, and a skim of the flywheel is pretty common with fwd clutch replacement. Any reason it wasn't done all at once?

@eyebrows I grew up there, managed to escape for Uni and grad job now taken me back there haha cheers
