My mate has just crunched his Bristol, but is not unhappy about it. The insurance company is prepared to pay for the repairs and accept some additional money from him to have the whole car repainted rather than just the repaired panel. Given the way the prices are increasing, he could add a lot of money to its value.

The new Ferrari F12tdf. A car that will never be worth less than what you paid for it.

A mate told me a while back that the new BMW would rile me.
"You twirl your finger in the air to increase/decrease the volume on the radio/c.d. player.
£68,000
I know how many fingers I'd give them.
"Remember the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies, specifically the Q-supplied BMW7-series which could be driven by remote control? Well, BMW has now made it a reality.
The idea is that if a parking space is a bit tight – too tight for you to easily climb out of your car – then you can simply stop in front of the bay, get out, and complete the manoeuvre using the remote park function on the key."

More rally-car porn: the legendary Peugeot Cosworth:
It's not porn in the visual sense - in fact it's butt-ugly - but just listen to it!
Until a few years ago this was the fastest car in British national rallying. It was built by a pig farmer around bits of a Peugeot 306 and a home-made space-frame chassis, but it used to eat ex-works World Rally Cars for breakfast. I saw it in action a couple of times, and it's not the sort of thing you forget in a hurry. Then the powers that be went and banned it.

always wanted a Tatra 603. good ones well expensive now though, and electrical problems are apparently endless. The Czech ZIL.

Glad it isn't only me who likes old Communist cars.
I'd love a Skoda 136 coupe - the late 80s one that got all the motoring press banging on about 'the poor man's Porsche,' and all the other clichés. They're very rare and surprisingly expensive now: those who bought them in the 90s, when you could barely give them away, and hung onto them have done well out of it. Back in the 70s the 130RS was a mean little rally car, and very pretty too:

I used too, until I actually owned one. I had a 1970 GAZ Volga M21 and it was terrible. Not terrible in a charming sort of way, just terrible in a depressing way. The welding on mine was particularly bad, I assume they were all basically handmade.
It had a 6.7:1 compression 2.4 IL4 engine that made 20bhp at the wheels on the dyno.

I've had a Trabant and three Yugos in my time. The Trabant was great fun when it worked which wasn't all that often. The Yugos also had a lot of Fiat character encased in cheap, thin Yugoslav steel. They're not actually too bad.
The Volga, and Moskvich, definitely are for the purist. Plus, when they break, spare parts not available from Halfords.

Restomod '67 Nova, but instead of the ubiquitous 357 small block or LS6 it's got an 2.0 IL4 turbo Ecotec and 6 speed manual from the new Camaro.

Reaching out
From the general forum as I thought this might be the more "appreciative" place, but it did hack me of!
Thanks to the joys of televison, one of these recently crossed my speed camera, a Blue Train Bentley.
The 'Blue Train' Bentley - or perhaps not...? It is a gorgeous-looking thing, though.

Some TV is a joy, the programme you relate to, I believe, is not. The car is wasted on the owner - possession only - no love.Thanks to the joys of televison, one of these recently crossed my speed camera, a Blue Train Bentley.

Last time I looked, the Bentley was still for sale
Such a fabulous car deserves a better owner.

That's amazing! The rear wheels aren't covered though...
Was on the pit wall when that first won the 1000km at Silverstone, was a great day out all round.
