You're not interested in my photos of a grey 2007 Ford Focus then?

Porsche 356 Speedster, only made from 56-59. But at £250k plus for a concours example a bit out of my budget
Yes we've raced alongside the two of them several times here in the UK and in Belgium. Never quite sure why I love it, but I do...Here is a Harrington tiger, not as much a stunner, but still lovely. Not as nice as the one Zef posted above that he drove in Le Mans, but you get the drift...
I'm implying that they didn't really think it was the most beautiful car they'd ever seen.
Yeah, you're really not getting it. Beauty is of course subjective, but people are posting pictures of their own cars not because they think they're the most beautiful, but because they're a car they really liked for a variety of reasons. And that's fine, I'm just highlighting that there's a difference between our favourite car that meant a lot to us, and the most beautiful car we've ever seen.
They can, although it might be more genuine to post that it's your favourite of the ones you've owned, rather than pretending it's the most beautiful car ever made.
For us to know what we're all talking about, words need to have meanings. If we're all meaning different things, then we'll have no idea what anyone is on about.
I've already explained why I think this isn't about taste, it's about confusing beauty with something that means a lot to us personally.
Sure, post away, but I won't believe you if you say it's the most beautiful car you've ever seen.
Don't be silly.
That would be a blue 2004 Fiat Punto.
But I don't have any photos of it.

Ah, I see I was beaten to the P1800 by another Swede!
It really is a beautiful car, and by far the most gorgeous I've ever had the pleasure of driving myself. Great taste!

It's a lovely car! Fun fact is that it is designed by a yacht designer and two times Olympic medalist in sailing and Americas Cup skipper! Pelle Pettersson also got his own brand of sailing clothing and sports wear.Ah, I see I was beaten to the P1800 by another Swede!

The Citroen DS was the first family car when I was a kid. It had hydraulic suspension if I remember that elevated the car on start up which for us kids was very exciting - we called it ‘the hovercraft’.
Before that a Triumph Herald - our Boxer chewed the interior one day when she was left in the car when we went shopping. Needless to say, the boxy TH with its red leather seats was no longer considered suitable for a 3 kids and a puppy. Mum won the day and the Triumph was sold. (A beautiful car but not as beautiful as my Buick
)

ohh......you have sent me down a rabbit hole today.................my Dad had an apline in the 70's
I've nearly 'driven' one of these.
I was about 20 years old, working in a snooty eatery, next to the Thames in Oxfordshire. A customer parked it, across a walkway, because he was running late / lazy / an entitled rich ****.
I was tasked with going to his table, to tell him he had to move the car. I came over, as he was holding court with his gaggle of **** mates, and politely asked him to please move the car. He dismissively waved me away and threw the keys at me.
Now, I should have just put them back on his table and told him that I would not be allowed to help with that - due to insurance and whatnot - but it is a BEAUTIFUL car, so I thought I might as well take the opportunity.
Anyhow, I climb into it, and spend (literally) about five minutes hopelessly failing to get the sodding thing into reverse gear, thrashing the precious vintage gearbox to within an inch of its life - before the guy either wonders why he hasn't had his keys back yet, or possibly heard the gearbox crunching - and has to come out and do it himself!
Some of the coachers are Art on wheels. . . . And of course they built the Bedford 6 wheeler in the Italian job.

I'm a sucker for a long and low old school Audi saloon.
