There was a time I'm when carmakers used to push their designs a little bit further forward then I certainly and I think a few others were quite ready for.
Ford for example with the Sierra and their American style Grenada and then there Mondeo I think went a little bit too far. That said a few years after the launch I have got completely used to them.

That used to be the case with many cars. Stand out cars would include the zodiac copying the big Americans of the day, the Daimler dart, going back further, the Austin Atlantic or more modern the Triumph Ital. Today's cars are as boring as hell by comparison.

Same here. Cars have become so lacklustre.

They're just too generic. Some look as if they're just been re-badged. Which is about all I do nowadays when walking along: try and recognise badges. Useful since quite a few vehicules don't even show the name of the maker.

It was at the Brits at Beaulieu yesterday Triumph Italia - WikipediaA poor show really. There were very few Fords, TVR's, just 2 Astons, 2 Jensens, I don't remember a single Vauxhall even.
I have seen many better turnouts at Brooklands.

A cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel
Reliant Scimitar. Which I only know because the owner has left a handy information sheet in the front windscreen for the benefit of interested passers by.
Fewer than 600 of this version were ever built.

Yet again, I saw one earlier today while out on a call. Its red, belongs to a mate and has a slow puncture on front nearside tyre
It's one of 8 cars he owns (or owned). He has spoken of flogging them all to buy an Aston DBS

I could barely name the manufacturer now, let alone the car's actual model
