Hi all, todays drawing in my all new drawing series The Lost Art Of The Mainstream Luxo-Barge is the generation of Zodiac that really made it's mark. #fordcars #fordzodiacmk2 #fordzodiac #fordcarsuk

@adrianfclarke True, I just think it would look cleaner. I can't properly put my finger on it but that rear 3/4 really doesn't look right to my eyes.🤔
English

Alright, let's do this thing. My thoughts on the Neue Klasse i3. A 🧵(because I want to post more than 4 images).
First of all, let's understand what we are looking at. This is the i3, which sits on the same platform as the recently released iX3 - pure EVs with their cells in the floor. This is NOT the next 3 series - not exactly. The ACTUAL next 3 series will continue to built on its current CLAR platform - but it will be extensively reskinned inside and out to resemble this car - so the i3 and the 320i will look the same but be substantially different under the skin. 1/n

@adrianfclarke I meant split it into a proper 6-light.😊

@CustomCvd You can’t take the rear glass all the way to back because then it wouldn’t be able to drop into the door.
English

@Only9built Not being funny but once the proper middle class takes a hiding the maybe the system will change because for the working class this has been the reality since 2008.🤔

@Stephen59845260 These still had the old 2.5 Straight 6.😊
English

@CustomCvd Those old Zodiacs had great sounding engines
English

@adrianfclarke I think if I'd have designed it I'd have took the rear door glass all the way to the black plastic. Slightly softened the top line, straightened the window divider & I would have taken the rearmost shutline straight through the wheelarch. I think it would remove some fussiness.🤔
English

@CustomCvd There is legislation that dictates things like openings and making sure passengers can ingress and egress easily, but that’s the remit of the closures team (engineers).
English

@adrianfclarke What I meant about the size of the door is at the waistline it's fine but it tapers quite badly towards the bottom. I'm thinking when you open the door there isn't going to be much entry room especially when you think how the rear bottom seat squab will eat into said space.🤔

@lessismoremike I've got a good name for it. How about; The How Many Of These Are We Going To Have Before We Learn Our Lesson Depression.😉😂😂😂

**Rare Road Cars**
🇫🇷 1973 Citroen SM 2.7L
78 Licensed and 42 SORN
The 1973 Citroën SM is a grand tourer that blended French Citroën's avant-garde technology with Italian Maserati engineering.
Produced between 1970 and 1975, the 1973 model year represents a significant point in the SM's production, as it introduced electronic fuel injection (EFI) for European models, designed to address performance and fuel economy needs.
Engine: 90-degree V6, double overhead cams, 2.7 liters (2,670 cc), Type C114-1.
Fueling: Initially equipped with three Weber 42 DCNF2 carburetors, later available with Bosch D-Jetronic electronic fuel injection.
Power: 170 hp (carbureted) or 178 hp (injection).
Transmission: 5-speed manual (most common) or a 3-speed Borg-Warner automatic (introduced 1974).
Suspension: Hydropneumatic self-leveling system (similar to the DS).
Steering: DIRAVI speed-sensitive power steering, known for self-centering.
Design: Aerodynamic body by Robert Opron, featuring six halogen headlights (inner lights turn with steering)
This car was spotted near Tufnell Park London.
Absolutely stunning car. 🇫🇷 ❤️

@MotoNutJob You'll have to keep an eye out in a few weeks cos that's on my drawing list in my current drawing series The lost art of the mainstream luxo-barge. I didn't realise until sorting my list that this was their flagship from 72 when they axed the cresta until the carlton/royale.🤔
English


@CaravanningLife That's a brilliant pic, there's something about early colour photography that gives the image an extra warmth/atmosphere missing from modern photos.🤔

English

@theseoldcars I've always wanted on but don't think I'd be brave enough to put my money where my mouth is.🤔

English

Oh, nice, a Citroë—
WAIT, THAT'S NOT A DIESEL C6!
carandclassic.com/l/C2030833
I haven't seen one of these V6 petrol C6s for ages. Can't be more than a handful in the UK.
(At a glance, it looks like there were only ~30 registered here when new!)

@adrianfclarke I totally agree about the front wheel & you're the professional so I'll defer to your expertise but am I the only 1 that thinks the wheelbase needs a bit more length in the rear. The rear door glass looks weirdly truncated & the door looks quite short.

English

So if you've been thinking you like the i3 but there's something about it you couldn't quite put your finger one, this might be one reason.
A few caveats - you always need to see cars in the metal to understand them properly. In real life you never look at a car like this. All these images were taken from the BMW media site, but were all different cameras, locations, angles etc (the G20 in particular is very low to the ground, and the i3 images are probably renders done in VRED) but for our purposes here will suffice. 🧵FIN

@MotoNutJob Exactly, I thought my days of spending hours on a phone, pacing & making a million phone calls had long gone.🙄

Hi all, my account will be quiet today as I'm drawing, so keep an eye out for my new drawing this evening. #art #carart #drawings #inkdrawing
English

@MotoNutJob Thanks it was a big shock. Tbh I'm more unnerved about what comes next. I'm just hoping war doesn't breakout. At the same time I'm having to be extra vigilant because nobody's quite sure where it's come from yet.🤔
English

@CustomCvd Don't really have words for that
But thinking of you now mate
Be kind to yourself
Big love DK1 x
