Mk2 st focus in its favourite place

CIP4

I think of all the golfs the Mk7.5 has the best tail lights in LED guise. But then I just love dynamic indicators anyway The car is carrying a far layer of dirt at the moment but its winter that's my excuse :pac:

Agreed, Avant's always look well no matter what generation. Audi's always look better in estate form imo.

100% agreed, looks like they pour effort in to the aesthetics of the estate cars and leave the saloons as an afterthought. Could be due to the fact that in mainland Europe estates are the norm and much more popular than saloon cars. Everything from the light clusters, reg positioning, logo and rear window are styled and designed so well. Same with BMW and VW, particularly the Passat.

Edit... some stunning cars posted up here. Great motoring images.

I saw a nicely specced A5 Sportback with LED rear lights but no dynamic indicators,
I was reminded of the Mark Twain quote:
‘A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the banjo and doesn't’

Sharp MZ700

Saw a 191 Scania with dynamic lights on the trailer yesterday, a meal blower. Looked odd.

They ain't that bright either, quite difficult to see in the day time.

The ones I saw looked too small, like they were designed for a car trailer. Strange as the chassis was made from a top class northern company.

Summer hobby / toy off the road on Thursday so into hibernation now for the next few months, nice and dry after a good run yesterday. Running real strong but will start gathering parts now for some more preventative maintenance to keep her that way.

Winter weekend project comes out on Friday when its taxed, I'll need a few days to build up to the trauma of handing more cash to revenue for a bit of round paper

My new S3...absolutely loving it.

Is that a 966? Love the wheels on it.

colm_mcm

Think it’s a Boxster

Interslice

I can only tell them apart from behind.

colm_mcm

There’s a big clue on the front

986 Boxster, poor mans Porsche.


The wheels are from a 987 Boxster, makes it look a bit more modern. Slight different stance and running small spacers at the front. Its over tyred in this set up but fine for road use. I have its original 17's and keep saying I should throw a set of tyres on them for track use but just haven't the time at the moment.

I know it's your car but this thing about poor man's Porsche grinds my gears. It's still a Porsche which is a great car and holds its value incredibly well.

vintagevrs

Kinda like someone saying to an Irish woman, nice coat and they reply....."Penny's" :pac:


I get an owner saying it though. But as MM says, it's still a Porsche. Most people have never sat in one, never mind owned one. It's still a rwd, mid engined, 6 pot, NA, petrol Porsche! Fair play to ye running it and enjoying it.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Shur look you can tell the women you own a Porsche! After that who cares! I think it’s class.

colm_mcm

I remember Porsche Challenge on the PS1 22 years ago
first game you could do a handbrake turn on, all Boxsters

Interslice

The driving mechanics in that were actually pretty decent from what I remember. For it's day.

colm_mcm

Yeah, those PS1 games haven’t aged well, I got the mini version and I much prefer the Nintendo classic.
Porsche Challenge was realistic for the time though. Tried playing destruction derby again, couldn’t believe how bad it was.
