We should probably rename this thread, classics dwarfed by moderns that also have massive lens distortion.

If that’s aimed at me, here’s the other angle for posterity

Nice '02, illmonkey

Looks like you could drive into the other thing, turn round and drive back out. Without touching the sides.

It doesn't look anywhere near as vast when you shoot the pic from that angle. Best bet next time would be no angle, just take the pic straight on.

I assumed he posted the original angle so we wouldn't have to look at the modern BMW's ugly face.

Quite, my nose is much prettier!

It was a quick stop, next time I’ll do a 90 degree photo.

Thanks Turbo! We had a blast last night.

Escort and Tesla



The same Escort with a current Fiesta!

The annoying thing is there's probably more room inside the Escort.

not normal how big they and blobby many cars have got, yes, wider mostly gives more road presence/holding, but also takes more space, more change on a accident on a small roads, longer traffic jams with the same amount cars and so on.

I promote smaller compacter cars, not meaning Key-cars ala Japan, but more like the 60-70-80 except those from say the USA with their big cars hah

I very much doubt that.

Shoulder room might be better, but I doubt anything else. Don't think about crash protection. Or acident avoidance, for that matter

[ajprice]

The length surprised me. The Escort being more of a fastback in comparison to the Fiesta still made me think it would be easily longer. The Fiesta is only just longer by 1.8cm.

indeed, pretty big compared, just came across this site with many cars info length and so on, sadly mostly newer cars, but a nice tool for some occasions, click on your make and most new models pop up.

Not exactly dwarfing, but a couple of 2+2s…

To be honest that makes the mustang look smaller than I thought it was.

I know what you mean - the bit that was hard to capture was the bulkiness of the Ford, even when I parked behind the same car the next day, I just couldn’t get the shot that showed it…

Last summer I was following a 5.0 Mustang as it tried to 'make progress' along some nice B roads. I think 'bulkiness' is the right word.

agreed to that, I wanted to understand such even more and went to a US cars gettering ust to see which I would like, some Ford Mustangs look so cool in movies/pictures and some have a lot of power for way less then some other brands.

So I came there and looked... yep, they are big/bulki in my eyes, specially the modern examples, those look huge, the older cars have some charm, but for me a bit to big, if they were say Ford Escort mk1 or mk2 big or small? then I could like them, but they are not.

Somehow the effect is greater if just compared to one…

[Puddenchucker]

It's not just cars that have got bigger...
