Not a complaint, but E D designers obviously fans of 1970's muscle cars

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
It's gotta count for *something*!
Oh my God! That was my first car! A metallic blue Series 3 1.3HL. God I miss that bucket of bolts...
My first car.. or at least its twin, right down the sun fading. Steering wheel is on the wrong side though... the right-hand drive was part of its appeal.
Not much "muscle" but it was a whole lot of sexy.
No kidding, an Austin Allegro exactly like that on the picture was my first car, even the colour fits. It was a 12 year old rust bucket when i bought it but hell was it fun to ride that crazy thing. If i recall right it had a 1.1L engine.
Yep. Bought mine (it was a 4 door) when it was 14 year old back in 1996 for 50 quid with no MOT. Drove it back home (after booking MOT 1st of course) and cost a whole 75 quid to get it to pass (new exhaust and front tyres IIRC). Those were the days...
HER!?!? Did I miss a memo?
I......don't see it, what exactly about that car do you feel is reflected in the ship designs?
Er, Alfa I think? Sorry, my knowledge of Italian hardwars a bit lacking.
On these cars, I liked, especially the wheels
I think that the Elite developers, too
The legend of the Dark Wheel , is certainly an indirect emanation

Beautiful, this TR6 has been in the family in the UK since I was kid. Had it shipped to the middle east, found out it would have to be converted to left hand drive, so it ended up sat there in the heat for years. The sound and smell of that car brings back amazing memories, it steers like a T9 tho. Was the only TR6 in Bahrain.

His, her, it's..
A man once parachuted onto devils tower and got stuck there, its worth a Google.
Im currently planning a Stag build, looking for a clean shell minus running gear, going to fit an LS1 in it for a bit more oomph. Need more toys, currently have a very early Rover P6 and a much more modern 4x4 Sprinter ambulance awaiting conversion into an expedition camper van
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Probably the best country for it as well, always annoyed me that British built car's rust ridiculously quickly over here in the UK.
