over_head_cam Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 Nothing has the clean simple classic look of a pre-80's ford. I don't think it's just about age, there's other things to consider too. Take a look at an old ford. Find a bit you like - An Anglia bonnet, a Mex arch, or even a bit of trim on the pillar of a 1600e. Look at it and imagine.... a person, with a pencil and paper took an idea form their mind and drew that part out by hand and a model maker sculpted it from whatever medium was required. Look at that part and all the other parts that make up the OSF and consider if a modern car can be in the same league..... Apart from a precious few, I think not. That was me trying to sound all poetic in 2006
SebringRS Posted March 12, 2011 Report Posted March 12, 2011 N'aawwwwww its Phils softer, more poetic mind Is pretty good man, think that deserves a Retards Club status
Admin Vista Posted March 13, 2011 Admin Report Posted March 13, 2011 Apart from a precious few, I think not. A precious few indeed. You know I'm also an Alfa fan and I offer one modern car that I think meets your description quite well. The new 4C concept, anticipated to be on sale in 2012
lotusless Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 very nice phil it brought a tear to my eye!
deltamal Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 Good post, guess there is always a bit of your chosen OSF car that appeals, ie the "Coke bottle" shape over the rear wheel arch of the MK3 Cortina......
caprinerd Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 or the gentle sweep of the capri`s window line on the door most think its a flat line but look at it again closer amazing lines i`ll get my coat

Admin Vista Posted March 14, 2011 Admin Report Posted March 14, 2011 not sure about the clover leaf XRwee rims Alfa seem really keen on those for some reason, virtually every model has been offered with them over the years. Not my cup of tea either. Fortunately they normally offer some tasty alternatives Phil, that photo is going to haunt you forever
w p e Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Nice words .... phil you said you need space to make progress. borrow the gazibo behind you in the photo
