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

The combination of drug dealer chic and 70's brown has me wanting to spend my deposit for a house...

The engine might be but the car. Urgh.
The only Volvo I like are the Brit Touring ones like Dammit's and the newer S40s.
The rest are some of the ugliest things ever built.

Ahh, much better.

Driven by the Saint,

This is win.

And the ferocious running costs.... reliability issues.... depreciation... driving licence issues.. small man syndrome..

"i'm done with conversions"

doh, did i say that?!

I did some potato shop for a mate recently, he wanted to price up a wrap for his GTR...

He chose the Nippon.

doh, did i say that?!

hehe, yep.

The new GTRs are too curvey. And that rising sun skin thing.. vom.

hehe, yep.
friggin tidy build though. that or white commo with chasers. it won't be stock in any way.

Australian LS1 and Holden Forums

yep. def tidy. still a new cross drug dealers car, though.

i don't really understand the appeal of whacking an awesome engine in a decidedly average car.

waits for v8 mgb gags

Not being pulled over all the time?

Beating a 360 Modena when you have a chest of drawers in the back?

... not over here, anyway. it's not like you get to drag from the lights up leach highway in your 'fully sick sleeper - that beats v8s'

beating it where?
to the speed bump?
to the first corner?
to 3rd gear?

Hubba hubba.
