Could it be either a DS with manual gearbox or ID or D Special?

This guy's suspension ain't in good working order, hasn't moved as long as I've been in this area of town

No way to treat a classic car like that

Yes, but they empty

Technically I didn't see this in the flesh, but absolutely best 2002 Corvette ever made.

Thanks, joeb, wonderful pics and interesting reading. This George Carter is fantastic (as the rear lights are, coming from a Toyota).

If you thought the C8 was an affront to Corvette, have I got a rendering for you



Thankfully just a rendering but

At least it is front engined.

A pure wonder!

She's weight reduced.

[broadrun96]

4 wheel peel there, put her in low and leave 1111s down the road

The first person accidentally found himself on the road.

The second was so close, but ultimately fell short.

That Rover looks the business and there are more vanity tags in the Commonwealth of Virginia than any place in the world.

This one. There's a Juice joke that I can't think of right now. Is AC home? Looking for the real killers? I got nuthin'

[broadrun96]

Bet the steering wheel is on the correct side of the car

[Adam43]

Pah!

A series 2 as well. Nice. With the standard exhaust. That splits, which is good for going around the taller UK plates sometimes used on the back.

Possibly the best looking car ever made. It'd be cool to own one. Wonder what that's like?

I passed a rosso 488 down the mountains on my way home this evening. #RamPower

According to the Series 1 homologation form, it can be either right or left. "Jaguar's E-Type is the most beautiful car in the world" Enzo Ferrari.

Yeah but fun to taunt the car with stickers on his car telling everyone he has the WRONG driving position in his import

[Adam43]

It’s a good idea to warn people, otherwise they look in and think a kid is driving. Although when in Florida it’s not so unusual.

Sure. I remember E.B saying that driving a LHD car is not allowed in Aus, unless it's a collector with the large sticker on the rear window. This is for historic vehicles regitered in NSW (since 1999?) or fully registered.

Well that's a GREAT selling point to me. Let everyone think the kid in a booster seat is driving until they pull up. Great for laughs, but that's pretty much how I roll

I have an old steering wheel which we can use for this.

[fieldodreams79]

Just took son #1 for a ride in this. 74, Z28, 350, 4 speed. It's a buddy's car, who also got me a ticket to an American football match tonight. Good times.

[Adam43]

Wow. That’s a cool ride.
