The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

Saw a new m4 today. The grille isn't as bad as in pictures, but it's still fricking awful. Rear is wide, but it's all body with very little arch. Arch gap pretty similar to the boggo Corsa in front of it.

Good job its meant to be a great drive. It's comfortably the least impressive looking one they've made.

It's the front wings that really ruin it for me. The lines around the vent thing behind the wheel are so badly resolved it's almost funny.

Viewed directly from the rear is genuinely the only inoffensive way to look at it. There is so much wrong at the front and sides.

Was in that embarrassing highlighter yellow as well. Dire.

That side on shot is not a good one. So much going wrong there.

I really dislike that front quarter black plastic trim, looks very naff.

Always liked the Calibra. Really good looking car at the time.

I agree, always wanted a Calibra Turbo back in the day.

My mate is a Vauxhall tragic, Has a 400hp Calibra on full motec and a few other bits currently [emoji28]

Just spotted this in Woolton, used to love these, tbf I would still buy one now.

Also just seen my first Honda E in the limey colour and I really like them, think it's a good modern retro look.

Great wheels on a V12s compsred with standard. Deserves a classier colour.

Hyundai i20n. Looks so much more aggressive than the fiesta st.

 

[Gally]

In fairness the Fiesta is utterly brilliant!

Brown bear🥰

I hear they’re using a proper mechanical LSD in them as well, iirc 197hp?

Edition 50. Sounds like an angry Thor.

Love them. Seeing the bonnet rise like the bow of a powerboat under hard acceleration.

 

[ChrisR]

I really like the AMG GT, even just the standard model would do nicely.

 

[Gally]

They really made a nice car. The other one we completed...

 

[coolspot007007]

Outside work before, not sure what motor? K20 Turbo?

Wow I remember seeing that NSX when I lived in reading around 03-04. Cant remember what color it was, just the plate and it didn't have the popups.

CS Mansion SkyBar™ owes no one an explanation nor duty of care, Kev. You, least pf all should ken better.🤣

That's weird, I got a Chrome notification for this - pretty sure Cliosport c.2003 did not offer such technology. So thanks @Gally and thankyou @terryc101 for considering it worthy of this thread (I know it is, but I try and be self effacing occasionally).

Strangely, my missus only swapped it yesterday, as my GT3 has been there last week. Until then it's been in storage for the last 7 months, so you got lucky there. You also just missed my Trophy, which was recently taken to Alex at AW Motorworks.

Here's my own pic probably taken at a very similar time.

Ha how mad that it belongs to someone on the forum! I was only saying to the other guys I was working with that it looked far too clean to be sat on a driveway and was wondering why you had not built a bigger garage to put it in 😅.

 

[McGherkin]

I know, I know, bus wanker etc. But one of only 3 BMWs I’ve ever wanted to own. Awesome cars.

I was actually looking on eBay the other day for these, along with 216 GTi's.

Spotted this stunning Lotus Carlton back in 2019 on my way to work, just parked at the side of the road in my sleepy village, had to stop for a photo of course. They're a bit before my time but I'd been reading about them earlier that week, could not believe it.
