I've driven into work this morning and parked my S3 for all to see (especially me, from my desk)
I found myself thinking how good it looked from the back. The smile is still there, even when i'm not driving the car

I do like the back view but it's the bloody great exhaust that I love.

I think the worst angle for the car is standing behind a rear wheel and looking forward. Makes the car look very small.

Sometimes when I return to the car, I marvel at how just how svelte but slightly menacing a low view of the front-dead-centre makes the car look. I often worry it looks like a 'pretend' sportscar but that front view eases my fears.

You must have the so called "driving lamps"

I do have the driving lamps - V8S.

I try to keep the car looking respectable - not to let the side down when out amongst the general public - but I'm not obsessive about having it really shiny.

It gets dirty so easily anyway, especially behind each wheel. S series could do with some mudflaps.

Sorry GI but you are sounding like Pstruck now....

Back on track....

I like the rear, in fact I would say it is one of the better looking rears of the older TVR's.

The lights are intergral - part of the form....

Chim and Griff are rounded and IMHO look like they are....

Not wanting to be predjudiced in any way - Secondary....

Why stick on other lights - light plates - corvette stuff - or otherwise when PW wanted that look...
