When my daughter was at her senior school (left in 2017) one of the tutors, in the Junior house, had a silver 928S

I love a 928 although prefer the later facelifted version. That and the original BMW 8 series - maybe it's a pop-up headlight thing.

This I like - a very nice old shape Audi 100, dramatically lowered but no stupid oversized bling wheels and rubber band tyres, unblemished bodywork & chrome appears to be where the money has been spent and what appears to be the original velour interior. Still registered as an 1800 petrol.

I saw this beautiful looking Cortina estate while walking the dog a couple of days ago.

Isn't it funny - I was surprised it wasn't more, given that's the most desirable run-out model, allied to the general madness that accompanies Fords.

And there can't be many late model ones left in that good condition either.

As there's not a thread for American cars (not that I found/noticed), I'll add this here
I've been watching 'Texas Metal', the tv show (on 'Discovery Turbo'), that has some nice cars/trucks/rods on it*
The business owners (Bill Carlton) daughter came into the yard, in her car
She's 17 year
Drives a 2020 Dodge Challenger, & it’s not cool enough!, it's her first car too!
(mine was a Vauxhall Chevette)
Dads business; https://www.ekstensive.com/ekstensive-main-projects **
It was stated, during the narration (by the business owner/show presenter) that the suspension was changed to lower it
More importantly, the spring-rates made allowances for a comfortable ride, not like 'sitting on a shovel'
The new wheels/tyres are 22" ('dubs', as I believe they're called)
Personally, I don't like that kind of size, as it means 'rubber-band' tyres, & no sidewall
However, as it has the 22" wheels, it really ought to have had bigger brake-discs, or a wheel with broader spokes, to cover up the stock discs?
* Albeit, not, in my mind in the same league as 'Kindig Customs', 'Fantom Works', 'Diesel Brothers', or 'Sin City Motors'
** They also produced an amazing MGC-GT, for the (wrestler, turned actor) John Cena, that had a 'Sebring' body kit on it, a 'Hellcat' engine, 6-speed manual, etc
I like the 'Gulf Racing' colour, & that they've not used the ubiquitous striping, but chose to use the orange on the piping for the seat-trim, brake-calipers, & that Hellcat V8
