the urus makes the miura look like a donkey with downs right?

it's a shame lambo have never reproduced the gorgeous looks and styling of the LM002

nothing was more sleek and beautiful

It's basically a touareg

same as the bentayga

I mean credit to VW corp where it's due, it's a cheap way of maximising profits if you can sell the same thing to customers of like 4 different companies without the majority of them realising it and with a massive premium on top from some of them

but yeah it sucks

firstly, lambo shouldn't really be making suvs - that's not their market and honestly I think it degrades their name. At very least the lm002, as impractical and absurd as it was, was also unique as hell at the time as a v12 truck. secondly there is nothing wrong with a supercar/hypercar manufacturer only making low volume with a premium. Bugatti is vw but you'd be stretched to find any exposed shared parts in the chiron with the rest of their operations, even bentley

well maserati already have the levante

and bentley has been garbage since the vw acquisition, they build cars to sell to people who aren't interested in cars or driving but in badge status

it's sad

also as far as I'm aware the 6.75 in the mulsanne at least doesn't feature in any other car

outside of bentley anyway

http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/topic/182296-carbon-72-mini-c20xe-the-build-thread-finally/ I've seen this in person and it is absolutely stunning

niice

nissan uk have an rb 240z that is immaculate, but I'd say that carbon one is more impressive

I mean

credit where it's due

if those toyota trucks can survive syria and isis

they're pretty boss

I don't think any drug dealer would choose an i8

and as for not liking it, is it because it's BMW?

BMW are very easy to dislike

but the bigger problem is

it's a BMW

all bmws small engines are dogshit now sadly

my mechanic used to swear by bmw but even he hates the engines now

basically if you slack even slightly on oil changes and servicing, they die

sad but happy day, I sold my mgb on saturday and it's just been trailered off to the buyer

I'm not really good enough to look after it

I bought it with my stepdad to do up and maintain but he passed away a couple years ago and I've neglected it since

the guy who bought it runs a bodyshop though so I'm sure it's gone to a good home that will get it looking perfect again

not much left to sell now, I have an old honda cb200 that was bought yesterday and is being collected on the weekend and a ford focus that needs a cam belt

I've always liked the manta a

personally though I wouldn't use the calibra engine in one

the manta a has a huge engine bay, you could probably cram in a nice ls, but I'm a jap engine fan so I'd probably go the sr or rb route on one

the sr20 can be got cheap enough and the rb25 is still reasonable for now

on a semi related note, I actually like the calibra but there's barely any left on the road, it's sad, kinda like the sierras they've all ended up scrapped

though a lot of sierras got picked apart for the gearboxes

I wish capris and mk3 2dr cortinas were affordable

capris in half decent condition are a lot of money really

5k+ unless they need welding and/or bodyfiller

that's a lot considering the price of some of the jap turbo options

damn

it's weird how most girls are just complete garbage when it comes to maintaining vehicles

I dunno, my ex looked after most of her stuff just not her car

I think part of that was down to her dad doing a lot of the regular stuff for her though, I'm really not sure

then again she also gave me her old car cause she'd left it decomposing for like 2 years and I got it back on the road

I mean I don't really see my car as a pet or an expression, but I don't see it as a tool either

my car for me is a source of pleasure

thus I look after it to maintain that

even the cars I've had that were boring to drive

they still provided access to things that were otherwise prohibitively expensive or difficult without a car

and so I made sure I looked after them

I'd kill for a falcon xbgt coupe

I think hydraulics are cool and I'd love a car with a good hydraulic setup

:(

again it comes back to my view of cars being fun, speed isn't the only way of making a car an object of fun

big sound systems, dumb exhausts, lighting that makes gaming pcs blush, stupid suspensions, it's all entertainment

that's fine for speed but it usually means sacrificing comfort

the vast majority of vehicles on the road see more miles when comfort is important than where speed is

depends on the car, not all cars are designed for speed as a priority

look at the gt86

it's slower than a lot of hatchbacks, that doesn't mean it's worse than them though

same with the mx5

they're great cars, but there are much faster and imo less desirable alternatives

is the 370z a bad car then?

I would rather have the GT86

I will admit I haven't driven the current ST, but I have driven the RS

my preference for the GT86 comes down to road feel though, and my own personal affection for rwd

I have a lot of complaints with the gt86, mainly the lack of a factory turbo option and that toyota didn't really have much to do with it despite it wearing a toyota badge and looking imo better than the brz

though that is aesthetic

by preference for certain vehicles over others usually comes down to how they feel and for the driving experience I like the GT86, I wouldn't buy one though

the main reason I wouldn't buy a GT86 is because for the same money I could easily get a supra or R34 GTT

well all new cars are comparatively bad value

also anything is better than vw

vw is awful

I utterly resent vw even existing

ford just want to make SUVs

sadly, that seems to be the future of cars

well historically SUVs have always been garbage compared to sedan alternatives

that's pretty much universal across manufacturers

there are a couple of exceptions, especially where manufacturers are dedicated to suvs but even then

I'm happy with my 200sx, I got it 5 years ago and have racked up 45k in it, it's not let me down yet

rust is just starting to appear on the inner arch, by the time it's bad I'll just get 19s for it and get the arches rolled anyway

it's very disappointing that I've never found any silver stones at silverstone

@JDM_WAAAT have ford fixed their multimedia stuff now? I got my mother an older focus and the media system sucks even for a 2010

ah good, in a few years when the mustang becomes cheap I'll probably end up with one

assuming petrol isn't banned by then 😭

that's a good choice of car

I'm not sure if I'd be able to put up with the fuel cost right now

my next vehicle purchase was going to be a 300c because the diesel isn't too bad

but now it's looking like I'll end up getting a fireblade instead since the older diesels are all getting fucked by sadick khan

I'm not the kind of person to wish bad on anyone but he's an exception, I genuinely hope terrible things happen to him because he is such a disgusting example of a politician
