Out for a drive in the Ardennes, sunny today. Lovely drive through villages with very few cars on the mostly well-surfaced country roads.

At the family home near Bordeaux back in 2015. House now sold :-(

Miss those trips!

Been a while since I posted. I quite like this photo, which I took last week. I noticed the sun was setting so I pulled over sharp-ish and caught a couple of photos as the sun quite literally slipped into the water.

View attachment 64567 I'm no photographer, but I do enjoy cars:)

You really should work in the industry ;)

Another great photo. From that angle you can really see how the XJ220 inspired the lines of the first generation XK. The curves on the flanks of the XJ220 are like the average of the XJ13 and XK.
 
No, no! I'm strictly a function over form engineer!
However, it does amuse me that real aerodynamic form does win over the 'felt tip fairies' sometimes!
Whilst developing Bentley's Le Mans car the 'styling' department was demanding that the car should carry a full Bentley radiator grille...
We showed them in the wind tunnel that the car would loose a full 50% of its downforce if we did this and so they were then restricted the graphics only on the race cars.
A few years later and Bentley's road cars started to pick up 'styling' cues from the Le Mans winning cars....themselves styled only by the numbers from the wind tunnel resultso_O:p
 
Just noticed that my photos have disappeared from the thread, so here they are again.

Not at all arty but I took this photo parked at an Autoroute service station on our European road trip over Easter. Great car for the 2600 mile trip. Love that car.
