The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

[Matt Cup]

Not going to lie but the MK1 Focus RS beats any other focus RS.

There is something about them I love, the only off putting thing is the blue strips in the seats im not that sure on.

The seats were s**t. They should have put some recaros in them or the Sparco seats out of the FRP.

Anyone know what this is? Looks like a 2CV, but thought they had more glass.

Great cars, but too special to drive now!? Feel awful saying that.

I'd rather own a green Mk2 because there's loads of those about and I wouldn't mind driving it hard.

The mk1 focus RS is only let down by those horrible stripes on the seats.

Looks like one of the early pre war 2CV's, they used fabric to cover a lot of the panels instead of metal.

A bin of s**t!!

Should've seen the body roll when it cornered at 30mph!

I can't remember the last time I saw a mk2!

Aye but the b*****d wont fall over though!!

Or run wide. The more they lean the harder they grip, it's unbelievable to see.

I’ve seen one nearly roll over after the driver saw someone he knew and turned into a side street way too fast.

It just gripped and gripped with a monumental amount of body roll, then it reach the point where it went up onto two wheel. Honestly it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen a car do.

Fortunately the driver applied some opposite lock and it fell back down onto all four.

I was stood at a college bus stop with my mates when we saw it, crying with laughter.

 

[Cookson]

This thing was fuckin HUGE

Very clean looking Golf GL. Shame I didn't get a photo of the interior and the leopard print seat covers

I guess it's the same with Beetles?
I remember following a Fun Cup Beetle at Anglesey, getting ready to pass on the corner exit to the back straight when it just leaned across the entire width of the track

Replying to my own image but the MOT history on that Metro is almost spotless, but not suprising with it only being on 25k!

Clearly never spent one single night outside!

 

[Cads]

Parked at the leisure centre.
Proper cool in my eyes.

Thought this was abandoned when I clocked the tax disc, but valid mot, taxed and looked like it had been driven recently as well

 

[_Tom]

Like a dirty version of Lawro's.

I miss mine😔

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Civic FL5 Type-R. Seen a couple of these around recently; there's this blue one, and someone that lives near me has a grey one. I've got to say, I quite like them. Shame they're so pricey, as I'd happily drive one. Big styling improvement over the FK8, interior looks nice, and meant to be an epic steer.

Also, saw this yesterday and had to chuckle. How wrecked does your car have to be before you decide that you're not actually a very good driver, and should probably do everyone a favour and take the bus?

 

[Oggy997]

Seen this bad boy last weekend

 

[Gally]

Love a yeti. 4x4 downforce?

 

[boultonn]

Sort of cheating because Dubai, but still.
Not a bad 2 car garage.

 

[SC03OTT]

Spotted this whilst in Edinburgh this morning.

How much of that crap is aftermarket?

The number plate. It’s a 992 gt3 RS.

 

[DaveDreads]

So that BGW is factory? Hans and Gunter must have been drunk when they drew that up.

 

[Gally]

 

[DaveDreads]

Yeah that's better, looks like a child's drawing of the Batmobile in black.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Bad angle I guess? They can look awesome in black...

I love the AutoTrader Price Tracker on these things 😚

 

[MarkCup]

And at the opposite end of the 911 scale, we have this teeny tiny little thing...

 

[BIFCAIDS]

Saw these in Southport on Saturday

 

[_Tom]

I absolutely love FRST's.

 

[Gally]

I never used to like them that much but they have grown on me so much. Give me white with that sweet green trim line! Lush!

Are they on the back road into Southport by the wonky house and the retail park, by Meols Cop School?
