Who has put that on low profile tyres? C'mon, own up you vandal. I'll keep the whole class in after school I warn you.

IanCress started it Sir! (I posted it after missing his posting of the same photo) Are they low profile? Look ok to me.

I wonder why people don't use the Pistonheads search facility. i find it works reasonably well -

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder but to me it aint a good looking car.


This imo is a pretty 911

Why has this thread now been moved? Over moderation maybe? It was fine and doing no harm in GG.

Sadly yes - the originals had much bigger side walls. Perhaps they just aren't available anymore. Still a very sexy car though.

well if we are getting into Land Speed Record cars...

Whilst Thrust SSC went beautifully, it Mum wouldn't call it pretty.

It's more aerodynamically unstable rival* though, sure was a looker

• The snappily named Spirit of America Formula Shell Land Speed Record Vehicle - but later renamed by the late Steve Fosset to the infinitely better 'Sonic Arrow'

F1: Brabham BT55...

I saw that race at Brands one year in the GP. Derek Warwick drove it I think. It looked stunning, especially against all the other GP cars which suddenly looked old fashioned - right up until the race started.

The commentator destroyed it by saying: Tomorrow's technology, unfortunately at some time in the future.

The Texaco livery particularly suited the RS500 Touring Car I thought.
