The car thread 2.

[charlesr]

Bah. Found the owner, but they've only just bought it.

[nakamura]

The 350z is a great car to drive, much easier to work with than the GT86 (I imagine being a 2cylinder boxer). The Z handles well and has much more range to go with. I would probably still go with the Toyota though. Mainly to mod it with that flat 4 sound.

[charlesr]

Gah. Turns out I just missed it. It went for ?4k. It needed about ?2k (my guess) of work done (sunroof and sills rusting), but...... What a car. Someone spent rather large amounts on it in the last 20 years....

God knows what it's like with the Integra engine

[charlesr]

Is this actually 2 cars crashed into each other? It's a Rodius.



I almost can't look at it. So wrong.

[EvilBoris]

I used to think these were ridiculous, now I have some kind of affection for them

[Brad]

Clearly both from the deranged mind that brought us:

[EvilBoris]

Ugly car game!



Mini Countryman

[charlesr]

"Mini" lol. Again, so wrong.

That Fiat thing... I know lots of people that had them. And loved them. It gradually less hideous with time in my eyes.

[Colin]

The mini that's had its roof smashed down, now that's one fugly car.

[EvilBoris]

"Mini" lol. Again, so wrong.

That Fiat thing... I know lots of people that had them. And loved them. It gradually less hideous with time in my eyes.

Then just as you got used to them, this happened

[charlesr]

It's like they just got other cars and stretched them in photoshop.

"people want higher cars"
"ok, here's a good looking car. I'll make it higher. Hold on...... Done"
"great. saved a lot of months of design right there, let's go with it"

[capcom_suicide]

It takes a lot to beat the Forrester in the bad looks department! At least it's a fantastic car though.

[charlesr]

There's an STi on the way:



Still prefer the old one:

[QualityChimp]

I don't like either of those, Chaz, or the CR-X you seem to be lusting after like a spotty teenager ogling the busty beauties in Loaded.

I agree with EvilBoris in that, if modified nicely, the Nissan Cube can look quite nice:

[nakamura]

You wouldn't hate the CRX if you got to drive a decent one. Like a go kart. Amazing fun!
