Ugly!!!!
The wife found me this morning looking at 356 speedsters and said " i like those, i can see myself diving around in that"
I asked what about the 7 why dont you come out in that then?
"It's UGLY" she replied
I think it's time for another divorce
On secnod thoughts a speedster would be alot cheaper
Do your wag's think your 7 is ugly?

I told my mum I was building a kit car, she thought it was cool... I then showed her a picture of an indy... she said eeew what are you building one
of those for! She was also expecting me to be building something that looked like a 356 speedster too.

I wouldnt call it ugly but i also certainly wouldnt call a seven good looking.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

we were passing aan aston garage last weekend and she asked me if i would like a DBS V8. I said that i did not have 90K.
she pointed out a £45k second hand one and said once the kids have gone...
A cobra kit would be cheaper but she would still think it was ugly.
Having an ugly car has a benifit, if Swimbo is not in it i can drive it as fast as i like

Some 7's are more attractive than others due to their proportions.
But personal taste comes into all discussions of taste, for example a minimalist might find a 7 right up their street, but to those into wood-panelled
libraries an old Jag might be their perfect car.

My wife was over the moon when I sold the se7en and bought a midget.
Then she got a bit annoyed when I told her I was converting it into a bike engined frogeye sprite. It will also be a stripped out race car like
this
 
Frogeye Racer
Can't get the image to embad for some reason

I dunno I'd call a 7 ugly, but they sure as hell aren't pretty. 'Purposeful' I'd call them, and their attraction is in
that purpose.

To be fair, a properly done speedster is a far more beautiful car than a seven.
Best option is to have one of each

I was down town with SWMBO and she commented that once business impoves that i should build a speedster... But the 7 would have to go as i only have
one garage
I would not build a faithful replica but a mild custom with fuche 5 spoke porche wheels and a big engine.
the choice i suppose is Speed or Cruise??
the Porker would get more use but i still love my first born... or should that be first built.

p.s just off out to make some doors for the seven

As above, Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder. I think a well proportioned seven is beautiful, But I also like Brutalist (Not sure on the spelling)
Architecture which most people don't.
I probably would choose a speedster over a seven if it was a straight choice.
