Imports

Definitely a questionable modification lol.

I don't know. I can't say I like it, but I also can't say I don't like it.

I love it when these sneak in to vintage image posts. They were shot last summer! Great set, BTW.

Reims...

I'm hoping to pop through there at the end of this month. It's undergoing renovation at the moment as it was very run down for quite a while, and it'd be a shame not to take a look.

I'm trying to find full-size photos because they're all stunning. Laurent Nivalle's portfolio won't let them get any bigger than what Speed Junkie posted.

Speaking of Laurent Nivalle, I got these off his blog...

Here's another guy who does some great historic stuff, as well as some nice automotive sketching:

Stefan Marjoran.

Judging by the TE37's on the car, I think he needs to take the SSR sticker off the back of the car.

Nice vintage post there speed junkie!
Since no Porsche 930s were posted on page 930, I will now hehe

Well he was running SSRs prior to the TEs. I'm not sure if their permanent or just a test fit

I hope that "wheel on the roof" thing doesn't start a new trend.

My dad's IS250 is desert sage like the one posted a few posts above, and I must say, even though I did not like it at first, it really grew on me and looks great at night

That cayman is stunning. Love it!

Yeah I noticed when I saw their shoes and wanted to see if anyone noticed.

 

[homeforsummer]

That Cayman is generally pretty cool but I don't like the 997 front on it, doesn't suit it.

 

[UnionStrike]

Love the collection of Citroen DS shots, the car is amazingly ahead of it's time.

Lol, I missed out on so much neat stuffs here, I thought it'll be all japanese imports.

Looks like Weds TC005Ns 👍

I hope that "wheel on the roof" thing doesn't start a new trend.

I wouldn't be surprised if it does


Kind of related to the vintage post...
I happened to just finished watching some coverage of the Goodwood Revival on Speed Ch. Everyone was dressed in 40s/50s/60s-style clothing and there were even some 60s-style supermarkets it was awesome. And of course the racing was as close and sideways as it was back then. Even Adrian Newey was there but sadly wrote off his Jaguar E-Type.

This is just awesome...

Adrian Newey through the chicane...

Jackie Stewart...

[McLaren]

That looks like ****.

 

[Keef]

I know, it's horrible. Think of how much FD can be worth and how much they cost to maintain and stuff, and then look at it. That dude has way too much money to turn an FD into a piece of junk.

 

[McLaren]

At least he kept himself from raping the engine bay with silly stickers & other worthless crap.

 

[WeinerSchnitzel]

Fad gone too far. Too far.

 

[happycorey]

RHD too. Oh well, it all depends on what you're in to. Who cares if he ruined the car to you? Looks like he improved the worth to himself by not giving a **** what it looks like and having fun

 

[Stotty]

RHD too.

Car is not my thing, but it's RHD because it's British!
