Are these all just prick boy racer cars from the 80s?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 16:02, Reply)

Nope. The Lancia in particular was superb & the BMW is a classic.

mk1. I don't like the facelift.

( Kroney, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 16:06, Reply)

I concur.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 16:09, Reply)

those buttress only exist because they had to change the rear window to be smaller and cheaper and didn't bother to chage the overall design

Good shout on the Alpine.
Family friend had a 944 turbo when I was a kid. First time I ever travelled 100mph as a passenger was in that. I was about 12.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 16:06, Reply)

First time I did 100 I was a passenger in a 1.6 mk3 escort :(

( Kroney, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 16:15, Reply)

First time i did on a motorbike was on pillion, no lid and only a t-shirt & jeans.
On the back of a Gamma 500. Lunacy.

Never really liked the mk1 GTI as I do the mk2.

( Kroney, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 16:18, Reply)

no
no unreliable old cars. i went past some shitty old box that had gone up in flames on the motorway the other day (and it took fucking hours to get past the incident). the owner looked properly forlorn.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 16:00, Reply)

classic cars are beautiful, if they have been well-maintained and are reliable
but beaten-up 80's and 90's boxes that look ugly and break down all the time? yeuch.

You know my stance on cars.

They're pretty popular on one of the other forums I'm on.
There's a gorgeous metallic blue one being restored.
( Kroney, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 16:00, Reply)

ours was white
this is the correct colour
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 16:11, Reply)

Don't like white.
Shows the rust.

You guys should get one, then.
No time like the present.

im not bothered about having the car ive got to be honest

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 15:52, Reply)

Then get rid of it and get a car for fun!

( Kroney, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 15:56, Reply)

I think I'd better stick with my Volvo. Rather safer for micro and more reliable.

You could afford a weekend car, chief.

( Kroney, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 15:56, Reply)

Priorities innit. Need to buy a house next year.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 15:58, Reply)

Yeah, I suppose. Get a double garage!
I only justified mine as I don't have another car to run.
( Kroney, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 16:01, Reply)

If I hadn't spent so much on fucking legal fees (the firm in your building - guess who recommended them)
I could have bought an old 635.
