Fine, this is mine. Taken last christmas. Figured it might be more descriptive to post a look-alike since I only had this crappy photo, but understand now that it is slightly against threads point. :dunce:
Looking at some other pictures here, it's not that bad. And the car is still better than what most people drive here.
 
First, my own car :sly:

P1070477.jpg

Daihatsu YRV 'Brace-face' , bought because his economic fuel consumption ( 1Ltr on 17.5 kilometers) and his load capabilities, father in law is paralized, so we can transport him so now and then....

Post it in my thread about the Elise S1 specs.. This is my boyfriends daily driver..

P1070478.jpg

P1070479.jpg


And ofcourse, sometimes I may drive and he will keep an eye of my driving capabilities (too cautious, driving through corners as a granny :embarrassed:)
 
Just made me cringe....

I've had a few people say that. What makes it all the more jarring is that the guy who hit me had one minor dent and a slight red scratch, yet that same impact did all of that.

A little polish and no one will even see it...

Sorry to see this. Good luck with repairs.

Appreciate it! But unfortunately, I'd say its totalled. Its hard to see in the pics but that crumple goes all the way up to the roof line. That amount of structural damage would just be far too expensive to get fixed given the small value of the car.

*Insert typical comment about Japanese cars regarding build quality/structure and how EU or NA is better* :rolleyes:

Did the insurance cover anything?
 
Did the insurance cover anything?

Not just yet. The guy who hit me was in a rental car, so they're jumping through a few more hoops to get to his insurers. Once they do, my insurers send out a team who value my car and work out how much I'd be owed. Can't imagine it'd be too much but it'll be better than nothing.
 
Think the engine bay needs a good scrubbing. It's been a while. Although instead of wasting time might just go ahead with the 4th engine transplant :D


I think my Edelbrock air cleaner cover with the K&N in it could use a rechrome though :/

Me and my friends' car to just bugger around in the field. 1993 (i think) BMW e34 520i, only needs its fuel filter installed. The yellow stripe came on the car and it will be repainted. Will upload better pictures later this week.

Seat_850_Spider_vl_blue_TCE.jpg
My first car was a Fiat 850 Sport Spider that was this color, but had seats that had a little more head rest if I remember correctly.

My current daily driver:

@Clark it's nowhere near as "torquey" as the S62 but good god is it awesome to rev out in 2nd and 3rd. Even so, I don't even care that much about it because the steering is just SOOOO much better than my car.
