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

I still need some practice at Scobling people. How do you make up a good Scoble insult?

The Brockley Express is all buttoned up and ready to fire!

Neil - I need to go back tomorrow for the (nervous) start up. i'll let you know.

Rocking, give me a shout when you are ready to head over.

Well it wouldn't be much use to those wanting to use it to get out of London if it wasn't, you silly kangaroo.

It was a joke, muppet.

Although, that does raise an interesting point. How about CityCar type operation that leaves cars at train stations where public transport options are poor? That'd be nice.

What would be awesome would be the ability to do one way trips with the hire cars- i.e. the CityCar model of hiring a car for say 2 hours, but you pick the car up then drive London>Winchester, park it up and done with it.

Jeez, that's some warped chassis.

Dead straight, as it happens, he can jack it up at the back and the doors open and shut perfectly.

Yeah, that coz it's warped. As opposed to flexy.

??

yeah yeah. Different angle. Can't see OSR wheel off the ground in that shot.

It's like a cheap cafe table. Just out of shot there's a bloke folding a beermat to poke under the tyre.

Pah, here's a real effort in a Volvo!

shit!!

love the turtle btw :)

Love that volvo pic. Majestic.

I think my car is arriving this week! Just been ordering a load of classic castrol products as I imagine it has been 'bleeding out' a little bit since I last saw it 3 months back.....

Just in time for the shit weather and salt. Boo.

Yeah, that coz it's warped. As opposed to flexy.

Or a very stiff suspension set up.

Bzzz!

Plenty of cars get a front wheel off the ground when racing, live rear axle and independent front seems to have something to do with it. Mk1 & 2 escorts and cortina's most notably. Although that said, I have no idea what is under the rear of the volvo. Reckon it's got some grip with those tyres on it, they're pretty wide.

......

I reckon I am going to chuck an exhaust on the 850 and call it done, time for a 240 and RWD.

does that mean we can stop talking about Volvos? :)

neil - sorry, dude - i didn't go to the garage on sunday. i will let you know when i am up there next.

240 is the car in the epic drift pic up thread. I would like to make a 255.

Anyway- was just about to text you with "DIRY?", let me know when you are heading to the garage

DIRY?

sarah and i stayed at friends'. motogp, footy and f1 in notting hill seemed like more fun than a trip to the catford halfords with a 4/4.5 out of 10 hangover.

Does It Run Yet.

ah.
