That's AI ? none of it looks real at all.

100% AI, no way their is a place in New York that just sells salad, or anywhere else in the states for that matter.

This looks awesome. Any details on what it’s running?

I don't actually know tbh, all I do know is that's it's a period correct race spec engine as he does hill climbs & sprints in it so it's got to be the right spec for the class he runs in

 

[BIFCAIDS]

I don't even know what this was

Tragic, that's what.

Local to the Scottish lot. Interesting! Assuming an original colour?

Went to Newby Hall today for sports cars in the park. Much smaller turn out than the May one but still had some nice cars. I took some pics of cars I know you freaks will cream over 😂.

 

[Clio_fool]

This BM was stunning, it's dark green and really did look smart.

Oh the exit is pretty slippery when wet too. I might make it onto some of the videos this time 😂.

 

[Matt Cup]

Sorry gotta disagree about that bmw, apart from the colour it’s rank 🤮

 

[CrippsCorner]

Yeah that's not great, I'll take the E92 any day 🥰

Some really nice cars, but no decent pics of this?…

Couple of Jap spots...

The Clio is in good company this morning.

That 306 is awesome, reminds me of Vrally on the PlayStation.

Recently I was out in Majorca and saw this racing up one of the hills to the top of a monastery, it was looked mint, really clean inside and out. Had a somewhat broken chat with the owner in Spanish and English which was fun but he’s owned it for 20 odd years.

It's a proper rally car too not a rep!

I love this Nova, but the wheels (which are MIM Raffino's yo) are just a bit too big. Still cool though! The glossy bit under the front bumper is a new one on me though, not seen that before.

The whole bumper is gloss black.

So it is! I've never seen that done before.

This morning at the BM specialist. 840ci

 

[cat171]

I didn't really appreciate them years ago. I do now though! They're cool as f**k!

I think they are another one that’s got better with age. Same as the Esprit posted a bit further up. They’ve gone from looking dated to cooler than penguin piss.

 

[Trainerbrow]

You know why they are cool?


Pop up headlights.

 

[Bleu]

Took a wrong turn and came across these two.

 

[KitsonRis]

E31’s are still in the reasonable price bracket too, ignoring 850csi manuals as they are silly money, one on eBay for £79k.

Even 840i's are mental money now. You could pick them up for a few grand 10 years back

My quick eBay earlier showed they were £15k-ish which is ok imo for what it is but then a few years back were just about sub £10k. Maybe one to get, keep nice and watch the value climb?

And the B pillar retracting when both widows are down.

There was one of these knocking about when I started driving and I've been a fan since then, the 90's had some cool as f**k cars.

They don’t have a b pillar 😉

Just checked and you're right, I thought it was part of the rear window. Maybe that was the s class coupe 🤔. Anyway it's cool as f**k 😎.

 

[Willo40]

Thar are cool, but them pillarless or doors without a window frame are a pain the arse inn cold weather, i must been close so many times to smashing the window cause it was frozen solid and wouldn't open on the 135 to allow the door to open.

Same with the r53 mini, absolute shite in winter. Broke both my a pillar trims due to the windows not going down due to ice.

Yes, i must have been so close to cracking the window a few times, tired greasing the rubbers, made no f**king difference, such a s**t design.

 

[R3k1355]

I thought the entire idea of pillarless cars was to get that classic side-view that 70's era American muscle cars had?
