As did my E34 540.
Seems like it was mostly standard equipment in that case.. so I take back my comment!

Never has a description been so short yet so unrequired. I still think I'd have a late Zonda over one though.

Me too. I've never warmed to the Huayra. Just seems a bit jelly mould compared with the aggressive Zonda.

With Winter in mind, today's obsession has lead me to this:

M2 Golf Rallye. Strange, as I always said I preferred the look of either the G60 or the Limited, but something about the square lamps is doing it for me lately too

930 Turbo, just look at it.



I was born a few decades too late, when I'm able to afford one at current prices (USD 140-150k including import taxes to my 3rd world home), they will have skyrocketed.

I think they are. Might be best avoided in that case.
Not necessarily a bad thing, as long as there's not a load of holes in the interior once its removed.
Then again it could be a bargaining point...

I love the colour and spec on this example. I occasionally wonder whether my good friend was sane to trade his 500 Abarth in for a brand-new VW Up!

70s Jap again today but realistically it's not going to happen since such cars are so thin on the ground in the UK

RX4


A slightly more viable obsession is the 05> Mustang - even a V6 (with a charger) would suffice
I don't know exactly why (I think the almighty sexyness of the Skyline GT-R KPGC10 is to blame), but I am too starting an obsession with 70s Japanese cars. Light weight, rev happy engines, rwd, compact and styling coupe styling, huge aftermarket parts availability for tuning at a low price and reasonable (while it lasts......) purchase prices = very nice option for the budget minded enthusiast.

ETA: Just read some other PH threads on this car. Maybe one to steer clear of hehe


Fancy something rude today.

In this thread I came across a car I'd never heard of before: the Aspira F620.

And I thought an Ultima was on steroids...





(Thanks to K321 for this image, from the other thread)


Watch this, and wait for it at c14 seconds.

That thing confused a lot of us yesterday, plenty of folk were looking at it and asking what the hell it was! Chap driving it had a huge grin on his face.

MC Stradale looks very sinister in black or grey.


In red please!



It is so hideous and pointless and stupid, that it's actually cool and I want one.
