The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

I’m sure he’ll let me have a go when we do get out as he’s put me on the ins and hinted I can. I’m happy to passenger normally but I would drive the f40 as it was always my poster car.

I need a new friends group [emoji8][emoji23]

I’ve not driven it. It doesn’t go out much let’s say and been off the road for a while. I changed the oil and it went for tank inspection but I’ve still got to do the timing belts before it goes out properly this year. I’m sure he’ll let me have a go when we do get out as he’s put me on the ins and hinted I can. I’m happy to passenger normally but I would drive the f40 as it was always my poster car.

Just being around it and working on it is pretty cool though. Just takes time to do stuff as you have to be so careful. The rear clam is crazy heavy and getting in the engine bay doing stuff feels like it’ll kill you if it fell. And you have to be so aware of your movements, parts aren’t cheap exactly. Crazy cars to look over in detail & to think it was available for the road all those years ago. It just looks and feels like a proper race car with some paint thrown over.

Thats amazing!

Is he famous?

spotted that r34 with a r33 on the m20 this afternoon.

 

[Cookson]

The R33 is such a beautiful looking car

 

[Waitey]

The R33 is such a beautiful looking car

The R33 is probably aging the best from been the worst looking one back in the day.

 

[massivewangers]

I always loved the R33. The Top Secret one that Max Power filmed in Tokyo ensured it was always my favourite Skyline tbh.

 

[Cookson]

Corrado VR6 at work today

R33 GTR drives well too. Definitely the worst looking GTR though. I would rather have back my R32 but can’t deny the R33 I had drove well.

Just spotted a GLA45 AMG, can't be many of those about. Didn't manage to get a picture but was the same as this but silver. View attachment 1193473

I’m 90% certain a 2017+ GLA45 AMG is my next car without the optional bodykit.

 

[P-Co]

Awful picture of an awful PT Cruiser

Really clean E30

Lambo this morning

GTO I nearly missed this afternoon when I was sat at the traffic lights, have a soft spot for these

 

[P-Co]

Was fairly far away but a burned Gallardo you can just make it out by the side vent

 

[Short Norman]

Saw some Ferrari fwends out for a drive today

anyone know what a SF90 assetto fiorano is, I’m not up on my fezza’s.

 

[Gally]

An Sf90 is the largest power output Ferrari ever made. Hybrid madness.

 

[massivewangers]

It's also bloody ugly.

 

[ForceIndia]

It's also bloody ugly.

How to make 1000hp look dull.

I saw a mk2 Astra GTE estate today at the Asda, were they a factory thing or was it homemade? It had a fruity sounding exhaust and looked pretty good tbh.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Why the hell would someone bother to custom make one of those? However I've certainly not heard of a factory one.

 

[Short Norman]

Nah those weren’t available from the factory

mk1 was 3 door hatch only, I’m sure mk2 was available in both 3 and 5 door

Was it maroon / dark red? If so I've seen it around Leeds a few times!

Yeah that's the one, I didn't get a pic as my hands were full with shopping bags at the time.

I thought it looked pretty cool, but then I'm a bit weird as I like an estate.

 

[coolspot007007]

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

I hate this channel, but it's on a LLF video now.

 

[dave120]

Always liked these. Looked quite small parked next to my 70 Plate A4 Avant.

Not weird mate, I love a fast estate! Just seems a bit random for that car, unless it was built a long time ago.

No idea but it looked well done, enough that it made me wonder if it was a super rare factory option.

 

[Willo40]

Lovely Gulf 911.

 

[Cookson]

Saw this on the M62 today. Absolutely has to be @leeds_182 There can't be many people with a penchant for old s**t like that

 

[Short Norman]

All I took from that photo is.....f**k me a Skoda Yeti can tow a lot (2.1 ton apparently)

Plenty of people converted the vans back in the day.

Pretty sure there was never a 5 door mk2 gte. Not in the uk at least.

Saw this non-S at Warwick Services today. 18 years and 23k miles old. Bloody lovely!

When those came out they were my fave car.

Now I just find them awkward to look at that rear quarter.

Odd how tastes change.

 

[Gally]

Will grab some more once complete.

 

[Matt W]

Please don’t

 

[CrippsCorner]

At first I was like

Then I was like

 

[jameswrx]

I like that interior but then I’ve got a hoody/cardigan in the same colours I’m really fond of.

 

[MLB]

At least the paintwork is not in that horrendous lime green but I don't think I could live with an interior like that in 'just' an M4..
