The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

[CrippsCorner]

Saw the new Puma today, actually looks slightly better in the flesh I must say. Plus grey worked better for it than the blue I've seen online. Front pretty gash, but I could live with the rest.

Seen loads of these in Essex over the last few weeks now. Personally think they look pretty funky in ST line guise and agree they're very colour sensitive.
Grey or white with the contrasting black accents looks pukka as does the all black.
Major slagging off by most of the non motoring press internet, but selling like hotcakes from what i see here.

Saw a new Defender a few weeks back.
Looks very odd.

They look OK but it shouldn't be called a Puma. Do they not have any imagination to call them something else rather than digging up old ones especially ones with a cult following and are so different to the modern named one.

They've brought the name back because it was originally a small coupe and the Cougar was a regular sized coupe, now it's a small SUV and the Kuga is a regular sized SUV. That's my thought on the name anyway.

It's actually pretty decent to drive and will likely be quite fun when they bring out the ST with the 1.5T from the Fiesta ST.

 

[Twingo 1??]

It's still not a puma though is it! Why not bring out a small coupe on the fiesta chassis and call it a puma. Every manufacturer is just bringing out as many suv's of verious sizes as they can with. Can't wait for Ford to bring out a new Escort, capri, anglia ect.

Probably because no one would buy it.

Coupes aren't that fashionable anymore, not little ones anyway. Most buyers want SUVs, so that's what people are making unfortunately.

Just you wait for the new Ford Escort 7 seat suv then 😜

They've already brought the Escort name back for some shonky Asian market saloon 😂

Couple of good (replicas) in my village yesterday. Apologies for the shonky shots, blame the wife.

 

[Cookson]

Those GT40's are a f**king BEAST of a car

Also can’t believe how close it’s parked to that Kia.

 

[Cookson]

The Kia probably reversed into it

I'd love a 944 tub

 

[cat171]

Saw a B reg light blue Ford Carpi 2.8i last night on the original pepper pot wheels, it was loud!! It seemed in great nick too

[Cookson]

That noise of a shonky old OHV llump being spat through a mild steel peashooter. Unmistakable.

 

[cat171]

Two exhausts, one on each corner

Bit of a cheat, but the F8 Tributo demo turned up at the local dealership. I quite like it.

I think I saw that parked outside on my way home from work tonight. Those wheels look a lot like my Fiesta ST wheels.

 

[_Tom]

They could have used a better offset for the wheels...

Hmmmm, not sure I like that. I adore the 458 and 488, but that looks a bit too much somehow. We seem to be going through a period of design where lots of lines, creases and angles are the fashion. It makes it look a bit fussy. I'm sure it's still bonkers though.

Another one

 

[cat171]

Grey Evora last night, I think it was maybe only the second one I've ever seen. No doubt it was Harbinger

 

[Stay Puft]

Massive!

 

[Stefan.]

Looks like it's got clio 182 wheels on it 😂

I still find the front end / headlights really strange, I've seen a couple recently, a pearl white one and an orange one, I've got pics of it. It was nice!

I agree it would be a lovely looking car but I can't get past those headlights

It's been a lot of years since I last saw one of these on the roads. Looked like a very tidy example too.

 

[cat171]

Just saw the grey Evora I saw the other day. I was out in the wild today though. I didn't realise it was a v8, it sounded fruity!! Really nice!

All the road cars are V6, sure it was an Evora?

Wow, it proper sounded like a meaty V8! Yep deffo an Evora mate, grey one on an 18 reg. I wish my plastic car sounded like that!!

 

[cat171]

Saw a black Mk3 Focus RS earlier, it had the silver wheels on it and it looked pretty normal. I only really noticed it by the rear spoiler.

Last week

 

[Coby.]

Spotted a Purple Lamborghini Urus? coming out of Snetterton Race Track as I left work today.

 

[cat171]

I think they look fantastic!
