Edric treads among some automotive scard cows this month.
MAYBE I’m a hardened cynic, but when I keep hearing everyone say how awesomely good something is, I get sceptical. And the automotive world is full of such sacred cows
The Jaguar E-Type for one. It’s been loudly hailed for years as one of the most beautiful cars in the world, but it just doesn’t do it for me. Yes, it’s low and sleek, and its long, phallic bonnet suggests that it’s more potent than a Viagra-popping NS boy, but on EDRIC PAN the coupe version, the way the tall cabin sits atop the cigar-shaped body is jarring.
The looks of the roadster version benefit from the absence of a tin top, but even then, the windscreen is still too upright. The wheels are weedy-looking (even by 1960s standards) and tucked way too far under the wheel-arches.
