And why are old Citroen's just so cool?

Yes it was a bit of a cheat being at the Nurburgring as that place is crawling with nice cars, but these two definately stood out.

 

[Stay Puft]

Seen a few of these at the gym now.. unsure if it’s the same bloke. Quite rare I think.

Saw a GT2RS followed by what looked like his wife in a M2CS this afternoon on the M18 near Doncaster, both were on black and silver plates.

Are those Jersey plates?

mph yeah excuse the photo, my wife took it 😂😂

Looks ace in yellow!

The M535i attracted far more attention than anything else, it was immaculate. I never realised they fitted them with a dog 'box, special car, ///M beginnings!

Saw a new Ford Puma on the M62 today, looked alright from behind but the front was f**king atrocious

have you had a shot in it? are they as slow as they're made out to be?

Only as a passenger for about 15 mins but yes, it seemed terribly sluggish. It also droned badly and appeared to pull all over the road regardless of steering input.

Still, first time I’ve seen it as it’s been kept in a lockup for years not running and has only just surfaced. Literally every person who saw it stopped and pointed. Pretty cool in that respect as I think there’s less than 10 of them left...or so I was told.

yeah i think they more a carpark car!!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

A lot more than 10 in the UK surely? A quick search suggests there are around 200. Most are in the US I assume. I went to a local car show last year and there were 5-10 all there together.

Still such a cool car, despite its shortcomings. It would be wrong in a lot of ways, but I'd quite like to modify one. Leave the styling alone, but just make it so it drives and goes well.

You may be right buddy, I’m only going by what I was told so no idea. I know I’ve never seen one on the road though that’s for sure and I’ve seen some very rare and unusual spots over the years!

If it was mine I’d definitely but a big engine and a back to the future styled body kit on it...even knowing it might ruin the originality and value haha.

You might be able to get just that brand new from the factory next year - https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/a68...ime: DeLorean says,early 2021 at the earliest.

That's cool, though 350bhp may actually be too much? I wonder what engine they'll use.

Awesome idea though.

never 2 much power😜😜

 

[Donny_Dog]

The Delorean story is so captivating.
Best documentary on it: narrated by the guy from Line of duty!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

I think I'm getting old, because I think any more than about 250bhp is a bit of a waste of time now. You just can't enjoy it on the road in most cars

yeah you definitely getting old🤣🤣

I think it probably depends on the car to some extent. The problem with most modern stuff is that it's so competent that you really have to be doing silly speeds to get anywhere near the limit. It's a fit frustrating if you can only use full throttle for a second or two at a time.

yeah totally modern suspension and even power delivery totally makes modern hight powered cars more drivable road condition is another big factor as the state if roads nowadays is shocking theres bumps and dips in roads that can throw you into a ditch in a heartbeat

Whoever’s this is they’d hit the LR accessories hard

 

[gavinf91]

absolute ssangyong of a motor.

s**t wheels too.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Saw a GP3 down the seafront. There's a big thread on PistonHeads about them... and most saying it impressed them much more in the flesh than they thought. For me, it looked s**t! Just looked like a normal MINI with a huge spoiler slapped on. Maybe it's because it was a grey day and pissing it down it didn't really shine. Will give further judgement if I see one in the sunshine lol.

People seem to be getting really excited about these, but I think they are awful. One of the ugliest cars launched in years.

Ford V6 Ecoboost? I think there's a version at 350bhp, plus I think they're fairly light too.

Would make sense. Probably fairly cheap too.

Saw this jimny at a dealership in Lincoln yesterday. Are they really worth £25k!!

[Tez.]

THOSE THINGS ARE 25k !!!!
id have said 18k max . I’ve always liked the jimny ! Not now

 

[ForceIndia]

Jimny is like the new defender, great in pictures but pretty gopping in the flesh once the novelty has worn off.

Not a fan of the Jimny however I have spotted a couple of new Defenders & I disagree. I think they look much better in the metal.

Just waiting to see one in a spec I would go for (green, white roof + white steels) instead of full on Chelsea tractor spec.
