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

nice pedestrian impaling spikes on the front wings of the El Camino

amazing pics though, thanks for posting

The tail lights on the El Camino reminded me of this meme

Yeah. That K10 was pretty amazing.

We spotted a ton of nice cars on the road including a few other hot rods, and an amazing 72 Trans Am that was very clean. Looked a lot like this one; possibly my favourite front end from that era of cars.

ah yes. and cheers for some excellent photos from Vermont of the others. looked ace

Should have seen the spikes inside the car, remember how Sammy Davies Junior lost an eye.

Miami Blue Macan anyone?

Need to suggest a car for my sister. Lives in the alps, so wants awd. Reliable and SUV like. I went to a Toyota Rav 4, any alternatives? 10k eur.

Dacia Duster

Yesh a good idea, I figured a rav4 would be superior?

I have no experience but the Dacia has many fans and I assume you'll get a lower mileage example for the price

good point, will investigate, thanks

jsut remembered skoda yet 4wd, seems perfect

Fiat Panda surely, the classic Alps 4x4 (which doesn't weigh 3 tonnes and is therefore rubbish on snow and ice)

Too small I think, plus does long drives across France so would be shit for that. She has bikes and all sorts of sports stuff so needs something to put it in, and then proberly sleep in.

I really liked my Dad’s yeti 4x4 TDi.

I found the boot space a bit underwhelming sometimes though, and the seats don’t fold totally flat, although I think there’s a version where you can remove them entirely?

Suzuki Jimny.

Or if she needs a larger one, the new Land Rover.

10k Land rover = big bills though no?

@mcmyk that's weird you cant fold seats flat

Volvo XC70
Skoda Octavia Scout

I’d still like an XC70, I think they’re cool.

We also had an Octavia Scout, 140bhp 2.0 TDI and that was great.

Xc70 too big and proberly bill heavy too.

Ie I have an outback and doesn't want that. Hence RAV4/duster/yeti

I’d still like an XC70

might be selling mine in a month or so

the new Land Rover

I assume this is some kind of sick joke

New windscreen for the V Class is £178, I’m amazed- it’s a huge screen.

Forester innit? Perfect

Only 20,000km too far away 😂
