Re: Let's talk about cars

I quite like the Camaro, actually. I like the TVR as well, of course.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I used to see one around town a while back on my way to and from work but that's going back maybe 10 years. Still cool to see either way though.

Re: Let's talk about cars

That's in good nick. A British car from the 60s with so little rust, how did you manage that :p

Nah, it's nice. If old slides from the time are to be believed, my da had one very similar to that...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I would 100% have done that, by the way. Hopefully it would have been a 1.6 though but I think we both know it wouldn't.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I would argue that it's still adding value, but just a more intangible kind.

If it helps you enjoy it that little bit more, it's still valuable.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Trust me, if I wasn't heavily subsidized for using my own vehicle, and if I didn't have access to fill up at the yard, this wouldn't be sustainable either :lol:

Re: Let's talk about cars

I don't really notice too much difference between the various front ends really, but I do like that the 'face' of mine isn't as aggressive looking as some I've seen floating around, and I do prefer...

That's looking well. Also looks like a lovely warm day. I miss those :D

I also got a new motor while I was on sabbatical, or at least on my way back from it. Posted elsewhere at the time, but I...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I don't know how extensively the Bristol was used in England.

Kind of a long video, but within the first few minutes you get the sound I'm talking about. This was my daily ride home from school...

You should know by know I'd never be caught dead driving an SUV.

I do have a similar nostalgia for old buses though. Good old Leyland Bristol, though Ulsterbus kept them in service until about...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Oh shit, last time I left foot braked was when I was forced to during a gout flare-up (gas pedal was fine, but the brake had too much resistance and hurt my foot), I'd never do it on purpose unless I...

He did it on purpose? I only ever did it by accident because my left foot was unconsciously looking for the clutch all the time.

You should just get a motorbike, to really mess things up :eek:

Re: Let's talk about cars

It is what it is. It's not like I've forgotten how to change gears, it's like riding a bike. Automatic is just the norm here, sometimes it's easier to just go with it.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Still ugly AF though. Not quite truck ugly, but definitely somewhere around SUV/Minivan ugly.
