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

I aspire for a full page to pass without a VOLVO on it.

This page started off so well....

Dat merc is hot :)

Hey, it wasn't me!

hahaha lol, fair enough ;)

Volvo's are porn though

I have to admit that I prefer this :

To this:

cheers Dammit and PigF-
Dont have another day off for a bit to go look at it, so have asked the guy to let me know if it doesn't sell, but it probably will.

going to borrow a car for this weekend then post exams in the summer go on a car hunt.
tempted by a T4 transporter, because its a van and can be used to sleep in and haul all kinds of crap.

Can't remember who was selling that jacked up van on here, but I wish I'd bought it..

ahh markyboy:

Not sure what the insurance situation is like for you, but I'd seriously recommend a T5 over an NA car.

Fuel economy is not that different, reaction to the throttle however is very different.

sorry car slang and me aren't compatible- what's "NA"?

insurance is alright- 5yrs no claims on last contract, pass plus and 6 yrs driving...

Naturally Aspirated, as opposed to Forced Induction.

NA cars draw air in via vacuum in the intake manifold, forced induction cars use a mechanical pump to force compressed air into the intake manifold.

In short, buy the turbo-charged version.

ahh ok.

Colours may not be the best, but I like it.

OFFS.

I'm with sniffy on this.

After a half a dozen or so of the greatest cars ever, we go back to the Volvo wagon.

Fuck me. They were even so ugly, they banned them from the BTCC!

:)

I think Alfa Romeo might have been the culprit there Richie.

FFS, I really asked for that!!!

Now you've got them off your desk top and onto mine.
Can we please try to get the next page back to PORN

yep. let me try...

Fuck me. They were even so ugly, they banned them from the BTCC!

:)

Hahaha, banned purely for aesthetic fail
Quite fucking right too!

ooh, i got a bit of a traveller just looking this up.

^nice. I went off on another tangent looking for Jap concept cars and found this:

Made me smile and seemed to take away all thoughts of V*L*O's
;-]

Not quite, Alfa cheated by including hugely tall wing mounts, bringing in the Aero era which made the estate in competitive and fucking up the sport.

Naughty Italians.

i always understood that it was the rule change that fucked them up, not alfa. the intro of the rear wing regs meant that they actually fuck this.

Hmmm, Triumph
