Had to park next to this...plenty of spaces were available, but none were as amusing...

And the award for "the car worth more than the value of all the buildings in shot combined" goes to.....

Presumably there's a chunky drugs deal going in inside.

To bring us back on topic (and I apologise for the grotty night-time phone pic):

A so-called Mini dwarfing my Boxster and a Jaguar something-or-other.




Had I been a little quicker I could have got a shot of the car on the other side of the Jag before it drove off; a Fiesta which also dwarfed it.

I know, but it was still possible and found it a great picture, see title

the Fiat is a classic and the F150? is a modern ;-)

Yank tank vs small sportscar. My Corvette is 100KG heavier and has 200 more ft lbs torque than the Boxster S. They both have a 6 speed manual and we both paid the same for our cars this year.

Wow!! Even as a fan of Detroit iron I would've pegged the Vette as being a fair bit bigger than a Boxster

It's almost as bad as all the posts made by certain PH members that bear no relation to the thread in question whatsoever, and instead only contain abusive personal attacks on other members of the Forum!

It's a picture of a car and truck. It's some pixels on a screen.

Go look at the stars, listen to the breeze, ponder over your place in the universe and drop the utterly pointless sarcastic crap.

It's not clever, it's boring as fk.

Exactly - It's a car and a truck - Shock horror!, a massive American pick up truck is bigger than a tiny FIAT X1/9!

Here's a news flash for you: Trucks like the one pictured dwarf most modern cars too because they're seriously oversized vehicles!

Had it been an X1/9 dwarfed by a modern roadster or small hatchback then it would have been relevant, but being dwarfed by an American pick up truck isn't really what this thread is about!

As it is, the X1/9 - Truck picture is about as relevant to the thread as this picture is (which I can only assume will please you greatly!):

Sound to Me as though you need to learn a new technique!

You are getting very boring.

Oh! - Well in that case, here are some more examples in line with what seems to be acceptable for this thread now:











I do apologise for this one as it seems to be more in keeping with what I thought the original concept of this thread was, rather than just being big cars of no relevance next to classic/old cars:

That VW caddy pic is wonderful. My frend is doing one up as we speak so he will love that!

I'm not sure I'm doing this right....

My Google fu is failing me, but after seeing this comparing the Fiat 500X to the old Panda 4x4 http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/long-term..., the pictures of the cars together are a bit Father Ted small/far away with the perspective for a proper comparison. There must be some good comparison photos somewhere of an old Panda next to a new Panda or 500X.

The 'vette does look a good deal more petite than the boxster. Must be that large rump on the Porsche. It'd look even more miniscule next to that Maxi Mini a few posts up!
