Some times I think car designers lose the plot.  The new 7 Series has the most hideous headlamps I Have seen on recent cars.

Plus going back to even the Lotus Carltom.  Wheels, same rotatation design on both sides, so looks the biz from the passenger side and the drivers side just looks wrong.  With CNC tech these days, just click a button, mirror the patern, click start.

Chav my zorsts. 

In photo one I thought they looked on the large side but in photo two they look great.    Looks like a proper M car now. 

Some of the backward facing baseball cap wearing 'max power' boys probably go for 4 or 5 inches......but these are 3.5 inches which is the same as standard on the M2.

Personally I think they should have come like this as standard.

I agree - the tips in pic 2 look great, far better than the originals . A pair of chromed twin tipped tailpipes look the 'dogs'
Nearly as good as the original stainless angled twin tips on an original fitment GM tailpipe on the 3.2 Elite....!

Don't forget to tell your insurance company that you've modified your car

 Parcel Farce, had a parcel sent from Germany, customs charge to pay. They decided to totally forget to contact me to let me know so it timed out and got sent back
Sender contacted me to say it was back and if I still wanted it, an additional 10 euros charge as they had to pay it
Paid as I wanted the parts. Been battling numpties within Parcel Farce since who cant get to grips with what my claim is for despite paperwork submission from sender telling them in black and white. I can almost see a small claims court appointment coming on. 34 euros is still 34 euros an I want it back for their lack of service, idiots!!!

Or a ghost in the machine 

I really dislike the trapezoidal exhaust tips that came as standard. I think they make the car look like a godless black smoke belching planet-destroying derv from behind.

Quite pleased with these 'chinky produced' but well made heavily chromed tips from the land of the slitty eye, which cost just £80 delivered.

Bigger brand names were anywhere between £200-£400.

Within a mile and a half of me there's a large Halfords an ECP and a Parkers while at the far end of town[about 3 miles]there are two Independant motor factors.
I remember the Cortina[and so many more]being launched-Consul Classic,Consul Capri,Triumph herald,Mini to name a few.

In Lord Opti years I'm only 19, so don't know about these Cortinas of which you all speak. 

I thought you had a Ford Model T brand new as a first car?

Passed car test Feb. 1978.

Passed mine in 1969.

Yep, almost a fossil. 

Strewth.....Harold Wilson was PM then and some bloke was just about to say " That's one small step for man"
