After reading this thread over and over and drooling at the porn on offer it amazes me that people can get excited about modern cars with all there abs/tcs/xyzdgts etc.
I so want this car
Apologies for posting it again but so what, its truly stunning.
no apologies needed sir, that is the most beautiful car EVER built, have wanted this car more than a 250GTO which is saying something !!
ALFA made a lot of nice cars but this one reminds me of a naked woman everytime I see it....I may be due for my psychiatric examination though
Oh my God! I'm in love! Either that , or I just died and went to heaven
Perhaps a little too contemporary once again but with links back to more illustrious forbearers worthy of a look.
Whilst discussing the acquisition of a Kitten with the lady last night the inevitable chat about favoured pets from the past ensued. About 30 years ago the young vario had a feral kitten that due to his rather wild nature was imaginatively named ‘Oscar’. So thinks me
“Oscar, didn’t they make cars once upon a time? must have a look”
And so it came to pass thanks to a long since dead cat, the OSCA
Cue the Chav brigade, I think its Subaru powered?

Surely the greatest PH thread ever!
Now that i'm truly lusting after most of the pictures posted on this thread the next question is - where can one see these things in the flesh? Are there any decent public collections / museums (in the south east) or are there regular meets with emphasis on 60's and 70's Italian exotica?

How about these for some obscurity:
The GM CERV III, basically a mid-engined Corvette prototype with engineering development from Lotus:
The Laraki Fulgura, a Diablo-based concept car from 2002:
The SSC Aero SC/8T, an upcoming (hopefully) American supercar:
Remember Bitter? A concept from them in 2003:

For those of the ‘Fast Lane’ magazine generation, who could forget the oozing class of a Zender body kit? Take a perfectly decent SL (or similar) and add plastic that was pure ‘Richard Grant Accessories. Not satisfied with ballsing up Mercs they actually made their own car, in a word, NO!
raftom said:Neither shall I, but for those who want to see(PARENTAL GUIDANCE:THIS LINK CONTAINS EXPLICIT UGLINESS):
Well the italians do sometimes hit down every branch in the ugly tree too. There was a concept some years ago called the Edonis...
Will not post pictures because
www.barchetta.cc/All.Ferraris/images/0666/edonis-7.jpg
They were actually based on the last few Bugatti EB110 chassis that were left over from the project. Not a car to everyone's tastes I'm sure, but I really likethem, especially in blue
