You can give any old car the nose-down dragsters stance, but I won't call it cal-look, because it didn't start in California.

That can be called muscle car look, 70's sport style, old-school or anything you want. It looks nice but cal-look is only for an air-cooled vw. You can of course makes something nice with most of the old cars, but a cal-look is a cal-look, and it's a vw.

HAHAHA!!! Amen, brother.

I vote that this topic gets moved to the Off Topic forum. This should be reserved for VW cars, only. Just my 2¢.

I agree with moving it to Off Topic, but I also agree with Tim and Alfie that they do have something about them!

Anyone remember Street Machine magazine in the late 80's - that had renderings of a Moris Minor Traveller in black on Empi 8-spokes and a Rover P6 in Porsche raspberry with polished Fuchs! Shocked

That article just gives me the creeps.

Sorry for the offtopic (and yeah the thread should be moved), but here's one of the very few examples of European Fords that I like (to watch, not to own):

Here's another kinky British car for you Greenheats Cheesy

If I remember correctly that Vauxhall ran 11-second times and was a tow-vehicle for the his faster race car which was a turbo-charget Moskvitš. Now there's a guy who can think outside the box.

You would probably like this thing then, ran 9's on a 1.8 BDA motor. It changed to Cosworth power in the last couple of years but it was one hell of a car, still is but the old motor gave it an extra something.
