>my favorite kind of cars are British sports cars
What kind of person do you imagine?

Either a 50yo rich British man or a young introvert with too much testosterone.

People who enjoy the best kind of the cars for the pleasure of driving.
Either that or dudes who pussied out of motorbike ownership
>>
>>28900898
>What kind of person do you imagine?
Someone who doesn't know much about anything in general.

Wtf why did you post a picture of me, delete this shit

as driving machines they’re pretty much without peer. No other country has consistently got the lightweight, high BHP/ton combination thing right. They’re the only country still making performance cars without driver aids and there’s a reason that so many motorsport teams around the world base themselves there or have their chassis, gearboxes and engines made in the UK

As an ownership proposition for a car you use to do stuff like get to work, then that isn’t a good idea
>>
>>28900898
Some poser with no skill or money.
>>
>>28901498
That's because their business model isn't profit or market share it's survival. Comparing a track car or racing oriented business designing essentially homologation cars to a standard car manufacturer or any standard business is apfel to orangen.

>They’re the only country still making performance cars without driver aids
Who? Ginetta is the only brand that comes to name for that. All the others went bust.

>>28901509
They're not very good at survival. Lola, TVR, Marcos, Noble just to name a few, all went bust and haven't made cars for decades. Lotus & MG just make EV slop now. Ocassionally somebody tries to restart them, bleeds money, makes 10 cars and then shuts up shop.
>>
>>28901524
No one said they were very good at it. I said that's their goal.
>>
>>28901509
Yeah it's sad that it's more profitable to con brownoids into thinking that hideous 2000kg auto-only shotboxes are sporty.
>>
>>28901529
That's fair, it's a beautiful cycle in a way.

>too much testosterone
I'm not giving you a (You), I'm just gonna point out what a faggot you are.

Other way around. British Sports Car fans have to drive Miatas because MGs and TVRs don't exist anymore.

A jeet

>Lola
Good news, would you like to buy a T70, except new?

>>28901832
They exist on the second hand market and cheaply. One of the major problems is every person selling them is a lying, coniving, aggressive con artist who doesn't want to tell you that the outriggers are rusted to fuck before you drive 100 miles to look at the car. That or they've bought into the "British supercar" meme and are trying to sell it for 5k more than it's worth as an "investment". Then they wonder why it doesn't sell for years because none of these bastards realise that even amongst the rare young people who have garages few are going to spend brand new (or couple year old) MX-5 money on their shitbox with bubbles in the fibreglass or rusted sills. Whilst all the old people who could buy it won't because they've either already got one or don't want one.

>>28901940
I would, unfortunately it is going to be extremely expensive and for some ungodly reason they're making it from plants. The T70 is sex though.
>>
>>28902279
To clarify because it got muddled up in the sneed:
>They're available cheaply but always fucked up
>If they're not fucked up they're overpriced as "investment" cars
>>
>>28900898
A mechanic.

they should have kept pumping out Lotus Elise

a pretentious American supreme gentleman millennial with Cheeto stains on the Lord of the Rings sweatshirt he got from Redbubble

or a real man, but the real man is likely to just own one and not self-define by mentioning things that he owns and hoping people will then see him as a certain type of person

Dont sell your brand to a random Chinese would be a start.
Pic sells significantly less well than the new Ford Capri that nobodt wants.

why don't we pop on down to the local racestabulary for a cheeky spot of spirited drively wiveling
