55bloke Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 What the infuriatingly Holier Than Thou Top Gear Carbage garbage fails to point out is, that the front, and I think also the back, of that Veedub is/was a comercially available kit, based on the 1940 Ford. And, I actually think it looks quite good! I get a bit hacked off with the superior sneering of the so-called cool people with taste, directed at the uncool with no taste. Says who? Surely, the whole point of taste is, it's personal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 This seems as good a place as any to add my Dutch spot taken on my daytrip for work this week. Unfortunately, though I did spot quite a few old cars, they were mostly as we were on the move so this is the only one that presented a photo opportunity Just as an aside, did we get the saloon version of this model Mazda 323 in the UK? Can't ever remember seeing one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead_E23 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Never seen a 323 saloon, but I bet they're rather nice. I quite fancy one of the 323F estates - they have a very pleasant lightweight feel to them, a comfy ride and and a nice whizzy little engine.

r.welfare Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think the red sports car in the dealer's window is a Glas 1600GT, might be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Most certainly is a Glas, either a 1300GT or 1700GT, could even be the later BMW badged version. (BMW 1600GT). Gorgeous cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seth Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Love the colours of the DS!I saw one of those Lotuses a couple of months ago on the school walk (why do people say "run" when they invariably drive?) They look awesome mixing it with mode traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
