The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

Have you never tried having like a plank or something with getting them in the back when they get a bit older?

If he had a brain then i'd have got him a folding staircase, a few of his mates have them and it works well, but Erik's thick as sh*t and would probably try and jump over it, he also struggles with which car is mine and which door he should use, he's tried to get in the drivers seat quite a few times.

Should've grabbed a picture from the front, I think that's where they look their best, but I absolutely love an old BM.
I believe it's an E28?

Every bloke over a certain age turned and looked at the car 😂😂

My Mum and Dad had one of these in the 90's brand new. In Red, so this is a core memory being brought back. It was a replacement for a mk2 Astra in Blue and it's replacement was a Laguna (Gen 1 facelift) in VERT TILLEURM metalic. That was eventually replaced with a Silver 1.6 Bora, Silver mk1 Octavia VRS, Blue mk2 Octavia VRS, Black on Black Seat Leon K1, White E92 LCI 320d coupe and then the One of 500 Santorini Blue M3 with the addition of the 440 because he loved my 340.

He's had a tragic car past really, I think I ruined everything when I came along in the 80's, because when he met my mum he had a mk2 RS2000 (slant nose) with a group N engine in it.

I binned my Dads 440 in the wet aged 17. No ABS locked up snapped the wheel, subframe the lot on the curb. Luckily I never ended up in someones front room.

Was mint as well.

I absolutely love those facelift ZS’s. Probably an acquired taste but I still think they look great and they were brilliant to drive. Just a shame the v6 ones aren’t really very fast at all and do 0.1mpg. That being said I’d have one tomorrow if it wouldn’t guarantee the wife leaving me

 

[Chrisgti6]

Unfortunately not seen by me, but my brother while in Edinburgh I believe.

Gorgeous thing and a rare site these days!

 

[Stefan.]

See these two on the way to a job I'm currently on 👌(crap pic I know)

 

[BIFCAIDS]

I'm currently in Cyprus and saw this today on my travels.

Really? As soon as you get out into the older neighbourhoods around here there’s a lot of cool metal.

Don't see many of these parked up anymore - looked a clean example.

I always felt like the two ends of a Jensen were designed by completely different people, who never met.

It’s big enough to have been!
I drove one years ago, what an experience it was.
