The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

[Nickw88]

I had a grey one with full leather, heated seats, aircon etc, super rare spec. Kept it a few months but they’re not that good, sold it for £1800 profit to a lad on here’s brother!

That sounds lovely! My mates had the tartan cloth seats. He ended up keeping it about 7 or 8 years and actually made a decent bit back on it in the end, but stopped driving it after he got his Z4 Coupe and Corsa VXR.

I enjoyed driving it on occasion as it was far nicer inside than my 182 and didn’t rattle constantly It definitely wasn’t as quick and he could never keep up, but then he’s also a s**t driver

I saw a BMW E46 330Ci Clubsport this morning (the one that came in blue with a rear spoiler and split rim wheels) it had a white bonnet on it though. Other than that, nice to see one!

all the times I've seen those recently they've all had amazingly corroded rear arches

Yep! This one was moving so I couldn't see, or get a picture.

I seriously considered one a few years ago, not sure a nice one exists though.

Could also go in the s**t parking thread, although they did just about keep it in the lines.

 

[DaveDreads]

Within the lines isn't bad parking, it's just most of us are on the spectrum.

Lovely colour, would look so much better with silver badges and wheels.

Saw an identical one in Center Parcs just after we were discussing a new car for the missus and she said she hates Estates... pointed at the RS4 and she said, okay well that one's pretty nice. So that's my aim now

I like the new 5 but for some reason it looks like a Juke in that photo.

5?

5?!

5?!!!!!!!!!!

It’s because they’re massive. Cleverly designed, so you don’t always notice it. But some angles……..

Saw a 280zx on the m5. Looked slightly ratty and well used, was ace

They're a very similar size.

Compared to the mk1 Juke, they're virtually the same.

Working at Race Retro today, piss boring job that's taking all day, left me loads of time to take photos.

When was the last time you saw a Rouse 304r?

 

[DaveDreads]

Barn find Ferrari covered in dust

Sat on its own air jacks

 

[DaveDreads]

 

[DaveDreads]

This was so loud it made the building vibrate

 

[cat171]

I want to like the Rouse Sapphire Cossie but I think the body kit's f**king terrible! I'd much rather have a normal one on a decent set of wheels.

 

[DaveDreads]

I'd honestly forgotten they existed until I saw it, not to everyone's taste but rare as f*ck.

It's this website https://www.carsized.com/en/

Check out this beauty. The roof, the plate. And it’s a juke

Went to a Porsche meet this morning at the specialist I use for servicing.

Never seen a GT3RS up close, also had the weissach package. What a mental car.

 

[R3k1355]

How entirely insufferable were the other owners?

Not as bad as you'd expect!

Saw this 1983 cavalier on Thursday

It looked tiny even compared to today’s supposedly small cars.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Absolutely love them. That number 'plate' can get in the bin though.

Ahhhh the mighty Cavalier L with the steel wheels that didn’t even have proper wheel trims from the factory, just some centre caps that covered the very middle of the wheels.

My first car was an A-reg one that was basically the same as that. I really want another one. I know they’re total, utter s**t, but the nostalgia is strong.
