Yep! Thought that would make your ears prick up or why! lol!

For tonight's musings and ramblings I thought I would ask the question whether or not you choose you car based upon it's "rear end"

A while ago I was pulling a colleague's leg because he'd just sold his beloved Supra for an XK8 and I said that both were fat around the haunches - I then cast a furtive glance across to his Missus and heh! guess what!.... eek lol!

As to my own taste?....well you could say I'm slim in build (apart from the whiskey induced belly!paperbag) and I love the lines of the old shape XJ particularly where it tapers to the rear over the rear arches and of course I have my Elan with it's tapering rear; looking across the room the other evening I thought...mmmmmnnn..... so that's what you like! wink

Of course anecdotally there have been plenty of comments about the sexuality of a motor car whether euphamistically or visually - just read E Type or Blower Bentley but every time I see a new model introduced I catch myself thinking " Bit heavy at the back.." or "yes I could go for that!" or am I just getting old?... laugh

Over to you...

A guy up the road from me just picked one of these up and from the front it is great, but from the back.....................it just doesnt look good, the lights spoil it!!

I wonder if the rear lights can be replaced with the more modern set up?????

Nice big haunches/ wide rear ends do it for me (ooeer missus) I must say.

Especially on big, front-engined coupes.
