An absolutely stunning condition 205CTI towing a classic teardrop caravan. Old man driving with a big smile on his face and a Jack Russell on the passenger seat.
Living the dream.
Dave!
Similar-ish, yesterday I spotted a minty Granada fastback towing a classic caravan. Looked cool

Ugliness of the Purple GT3 was nothing in comparison to the new Toyota Crown EV blobmobile...
I had the misfortune to see a pic of a new Land Cruiser the other day. WTF has gone wrong at Toyota ?? I assume the excuse is "the Chinese market demands it".

Too lazy to download and to old to work out wtf is going on with Imgur these days. I've now stuck them up on the Facebooks' Not the Evo forum.
Edit. Maybe, perhaps I can no longer work Facebook and should shun technology completely.
editit. yes I fail at Facebook too.
Just seen you've put them in an edit. I actually think that dark colour works OK with the RS.
Two Diablos! Lovely.

The Dutch do really well speccing Porsches. Lots of dark greens, nice colour combinations and bright interiors. Also see a lot more Targas over here than anywhere else.
Dave!

I'm just full of fail today, you can see I tried to pun-title the black Diablo as a Murcielargo, losing my marbles
The Purple is indeed a great colour.

It's a bit of a horror isn't it. The ride height doesn't look to clever either. I suspect there's a middle east market to satisfy as well as China though.

Yeh that one has been superseded. The new one is retro cool. No prices published for the UK market yet though I don't think.

That's a older 250, the prado equivalent which has already been facelifted with squinty eyes. The monstrosity is the new 300.
The 300 Gr sport looks ok and the 70 still looks like an LC.

the yellow is gradually getting paler on each photo, though the timeline would mean they’re actually getting darker!
i’d take “my” one out of these 3 yellows.

Weird eh?
Would totally agree on the colours

Now that Ste (of previous Fluro-yellow Caterham custodianship) doesn't visit the forum any more, Duncs will need to make the final call.

I like Mik’s one the best tbh.
You see so many in neon colours that something bright but subdued is weird but good.

Tyson Fury has/had one in grey with red wheels. I might be being a bit presumptuous but I’m guessing he doesn’t really know what he’s bought, just picked the one with the most spoilers on.
