Agreed that the DS looks nicer with a single pair of lights, but there were some 2nd nose versions with that too:

That’s a good call, actually. Certainly one of my own all time greats.

Second nose- as the pictured ‘67 has.

First thought: Citroën 2CV, but that thing is effectively available new already.

Mk IIs are nice, but why not go for a Mk I RS if you’re going to make old new again?

If you ever wake up, confused and disoriented, with no idea where you are or how you got there, check out the cars around you. They’ll give you the quickest idea of where you are on the globe, more than almost anything else I can think of.

Well, to be fair, with Failing Grailing in charge, chances are the plan will come to absolute nought. It’ll just cost a humongous amount of money.

To be honest, I have read accounts of very hostile responses to the first cars in the European countryside of the 1880s and 1890s, up to and including farmers getting their shotguns out and using them. It’s hard to imagine now, but the idea of powered machines in your own neighbourhood, operated by private citizens,…

***Sigh***

That’s a Panda, though. Which means the Beat is tiny.

There’s a story from a British sailor on the BBC right now: he was on the HMS Belfast, and saw how some of the landing craft dropped their ramps too early. He could see the guys go straight down under the weight of their packs, and drown. Nothing he could do.

Citroën be like: hold my wine.

...or need to arrive at their destination looking presentable rather than a hot, sweaty mess.

I think blonde muscle dude is looking straight over or through the rangefinder of his swanky Leica, and letting the top / front of its leather case dangle underneath it.

Not filming- photographing using a Rolleiflex. And I’m taking a picture of the painter.

The thing that really blew my mind while looking for a picture is that the police a) also tried the Porsche 924, and that b) those had T tops!

Needs moar targa, lights & sirens.

I was wondering how FoMoCo’s marketing droids actually sold this thing. I mean, it’s neither a day van - “bring the whole family” -, nor is it a work van - “all your gear secure and dry” - so why buy one?

After a certain point, a car ceases to be a used consumer durable that you own, and becomes a heirloom of which you are the custodian.

it’s been such an important part of Toyota’s history and has built up it’s own unique reputation in over six decades it’s hard to compare it to cars such as a Mercedes E-Class
