I acted as a courier service for a friend who sold his Caterham, so it spent a couple of days in my care with the reward being I can enjoy it in the interim. I really want one.

Drive through proved a bit tricky though...

Cheating because it's a dealership but it's opening Monday so they have some special stuff in.

Ohh yesss, I do like that.

 

[wedrum]

geez those X5's are dreary looking motors.

So are most cars of any design that's going on for 20 years old!

They were horrendous when they first came out and they're horrendous now! Like most of those kinds of cars to be honest.

 

[Diddums]

Yeah, they're awful looking things, never liked them. The latest gen X5 looks badass, such a mean looking machine. I remember as a kid that a neighbour bought an X5 but after a year quit his job to pursue a different career. He didn't want to ditch the X5 but also couldn't afford the tyres, so he bought these crap skinny little things, they completely ruined the look of it even more. Was like a box on stilts.

X3's of that era were ghastly looking things as well.

They were actually of the next era - they were introduced towards the end of the E53 X5's life. Nasty things, yet they carried right on through to 2011 despite being basically an E46 underneath

I quite like the X5 in all guises, obviously the example above looks very dated, but thats a given for its age

 

[shaank]

I like the current X5, I have one as a daily drive, and even the E70 shape before it still is decent enough looking, however the original one does look really dated - it is old now though so fair play, you wouldn't expect it to look fresh

But some of the best looking cars are from the 90s :/

Before health and safety banned certain things (like popup headlights). Look at the BMW 8 series, much better looking than any of the modern ones.

Sitting in the hotel car park in Scarborough, Perth.

The MK1 MX5 and the RX7 FD looked pretty great too. And the 3000GT/GTO - In fact a lot of 90's jap stuff was pretty awesome!

 

[Nasher]

Yea that's because some of the people designing Japanese sports cars had very particular tastes and made cars they actually wanted to drive. Not a suit

 

[Cleisthenes]

Saw a new a new E63 Coupe yesterday in a satin paint. Not a fan of the paint but the rest of it looked very handsome.

Apparently I missed a P1 at the gym on Monday

the 2016 and 2017 Type Rs are great cars to drive but look ricer.......... so i think Honda have totally lost their way, dont you !

 

[Nasher]

Honda messed up the looks of the Civic back in about 2005. But the other sporty Jap cars are still good.

 

[Akagi]

Yeah the EP3 was the last well proportioned and good looking Civic IMO. Though I prefer the latest two offerings over the FN2 style wise. The Mugen FN2 looked alright though.

 

[Cleisthenes]

A friends GP (really like these!)
