Cars that I wouldn't change

[HoTWire]

Must know more about this :



Someone start a thread to tell me all about it please

Will - there were a couple about. One was on the front cover of Street Machine, not sure if it's that one though.



I still love that car, UK Cal Look to a tee.

This (now ex-substandard) Standard is spot on, and whilst if I had one I'd be all crazy with it, I'm glad I never got my hands on this because I can enjoy just the way it is.

Just spotted those over at Rods n' Sods and it stopped my scrolling in it's tracks, spot on in my opinion. Anyone know anything about it? stealthstylz, Seth, Kev etc. this is your domain.

Looks like the Wolseleylac to me, before paint. I'll try and find another photo.

[stealthstylz]

Was it Marek Czwordson or however you spelt it who had that?

It sounds like I've sent you all on a Goose chase here with that Wolseley, if there was a few about I'd like to see them though, maybe a thread idea?

Would it be legal if I start its own thread with the full scanned article without VWTrends permission or would RR get into trouble by doing so?

I don't know about the legality of such things but my general feeling is that I have no problem scanning magazines several years old but I would not put up on line anything in a current issue.

Will, We're all talking about the same Wolseley. It was on the cover of Street Machine with an, err, 'altered' speed limit sign. I've not got my SMs to hand but maybe rmad can help?

Thanks Seth and rmad, that's still very much working for me in painted form, just so right.

If they come at me, I'll take it down,.. but I don't think they will mind too much. It looks to be from a whole ago?

Oh my god,.. that is so funny.. it is like the funniest thing. In case anyone didn't get it (because it is subtle), David has posted up a car that he clearly doesn't think is perfect, in order to poke fun at this thread, the forum, and all of its users. What a wag he is.

Where is the joke? I like the car. Or is it not post-ironic-retro-modernist enough for you to see that?
Yeah, I'm "poking fun at this thread, the forum, and all of its users."

[WillCarter]

No one liked that car, not even the owner liked that car, he stood back and said 'I can't believe I spent my hard earned on this, now I've got to drive around looking like an idiot because my Ferrari shrunk in the wash and I can't even afford to replace it and no one is going to be stupid enough to buy it off of me.' It's tragic really.

The DieselWeasel brought this Mazda 929 Coupe to my attention. I really don't think I would change a thing, I'm sure I could be happy just driving and cleaning this thing.

For me, it's this. Would love to do the school run in it. Bundle the kids in and scrape down the road, washing the sea of plastic fords and audis in sparks.
