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

Unfortunately not - a Land rover instead - my chauffeur (friend) was a bit wary of bringing his precious beasts out in the rain..!

Don't blame him.

Perfect example of the changing sizes of times...

A once mid sized car, VW Golf dwarfed by a Nissan small leaf/micra/whatever

Golf looking mighty fine btw

Just yes

Such a great colour, well jelly!

Oooh, excited to see the full reveal.

DS obscenely good. Deposit taken for the Ka, nice one.

Bloody tipping it down now so i'm going to leave it inside until i get to take some glamour shots...!
Me and the family kept going down and sitting in it last night and inhaling the 45 year old leather smell -like the Bisto family.

We will have a lovely forum favourite car for sale in a week or two if anyone is interested?
An 09 Honda Jazz, panoramic roof, manual , will have 12 months MOT and fresh service...
I'll upload some pictures and details soon.

Interesting, I wonder what the commitment to hand over the cash is. Do you think you can back out if it doesn't actually look like the description?

Cars on Collecting Cars have been going cheap, I wonder if bidders are worrying about the same thing.

I do like that K wing! Not seen them before.

I think the classic Mini suffers from lack of weight for the A048s, you struggle to get heat in them in the wet.

Maximum chonk. I like them.

Need to get that shit lowered ASAP now.

The pic side by side with that Nissan chunk is nuts!

Golf is great.

The Clio is still here for now, but I think I'll advertise it in the next few months if I can find a garage for the Golf here in London.

Am I (in the words of BRM) just being a fanny about sticking the bikes in the car rather than on the car for the trip to the Alps, and I should just stick them on the roof and damn the fuel consumption?

Just thinking that I'll have way more room for clothes etc if the bikes are on the roof, but of course I'll need to find somewhere to store them for the overnight stay in each direction.

Bikes on the car roof make me nervous. In the back if at all possible. Take less clothes.

I’d do a trial pack, but I still don’t have the damn bike.

stick them on the roof and damn the fuel consumption?

Well that fucks the contest.

If your lodging has an "Accueil Velo/Acccueil Cyclste" (cycle friendly) designation then they should have secured storage somewhere.

Any cheap hotel like an IBIS should allow you to put the bikes in your room if you are polite and ask nicely.

Also, fucksticks:

4mm of tread, and that's pretty central, I'm going to plug it.

E34 540 touring on retrorides here - in Huddersfield though

This thing parked up the road from my gaff. Yassss. Appeals to my 14yr old former self.

I test drove one a few years ago. Handed the keys back and apologised for sweating through the seat. It's an amazing car, but you'd have to go to a track regularly to get value from it.

Lovely. So tempting.
