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

Nice.

Love the Alpina-ish wheels. Sunroof is a nice to have too.

Ay caramba!

488bhp for £9k

Now I like a fiat coupe, but 488bhp out of a 5 pot 2.0. and reliable.

Just saw a mint blue mk1 Cooper S on a trailer being towed by a long wheelbase Series II Landrover.

Brightened my morning.

I had a similar experience at the weekend seeing a mint dark blue classic Range Rover trailering a mint black Honda S800.

Tapir, Shirley?

There's a Suzuki Jimni parked up the road from me, I really like it... Is it JDM? Not seen, or at least noticed, one before...

New Jimny, think they only came out in 2018? They're great!

Is current model, just don't see many around. I too like the exterior, but apparently smaller than appears. I read there's a choice to be made between rear seats or boot space, can't have both.

totally true.

That Fiat Coupe.

I love them and that looks a fucking hoot.

But a) I have no money and b) I would crash it and die.

Not before c) it shits the bed.

Had a mate who had a couple. Don't think either would do 500m before some kind of catastrophic failure occurred.

But they do look great and had a really nice interior.

Is it just me or does the new Defender look like a Skoda yeti?

Thanks!
I'm still at the exploring options, and tbh, my wife is the one who wants a car and is looking at subscription model.
I wanted some evidence so I could understand.

Petrol?

Is subscription like zip car or something else?

I have a BMW 225xe. Very recently bought, love it. Not the biggest boot compared to an estate, but it's quick, fun to drive and good space inside. Works well for us

225xe

Going to have to provide picture, no one knows what that is.

Cheers that's a good suggestion. I've spoted a few about.

Do you mainly run it from the battery?

How do you charge it? Ie is there some special charger you had to install and how long does it take?
