The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

[Clio_fool]

Spotted a red smokey and the bandit trans am at the weekend. Cool car but red just didn't suit it.

Notice the wheels on it. Rudge knock offs! Which are about 40 - 50k a set now. I've seen a few 300SL's before but always at shows etc, never on the road!

Think we can just close the thread now.

It’s got a full CT Carbon kit on it.

Didn't realise it was carbon! Fair play he's spent some money there. Looks better on the black car mind.

Think this is the best place for this. Saw a news article on this Merc pulled over on 750k, https://x.com/StaffsRCT/status/1933456937720422866 , and it reminded me of when I talked to a guy a couple of years ago with a similar looking ropey W210 that I've seen around a couple of times, my Dad had one, believe it was just over 300k before the rust got it in about 2015. So very surprised to see any still going if anyone knows what these E classes were like for rust. He said he was going to have it fully restored (yeah right).
Very sure it's the same car. KV52 ZVF is the reg if you want to look at the MOT history. It looked ropey here in Nov 2022 on about 600k!

Can't remember what he said he uses it for, but clearly drives for a living.

It's not proper CF though, all the cheapo stuff from the likes of them is mainly FRP with a layer of CF material on top of it 😂

Anyone know how much this might be worth? Spotted in the pub carpark this evening.

Not as much as a genuine one.

Would have been hilarious if it turned out to be an MR2 🤣

Does look the part though.

Ahh I thought it was too ridiculous to spot, to must be beetle based then. Did look spot on.

I saw this Granada Scorpio? (it is a 3.0) earlier today at lunch time and the same bloke was driving it as I saw his cap. This isn't my picture though.

It's on 175,000 miles!

Will be a 2.9 they didn't make a 3.0 after the early 80s

Thought this was Evil GT’s RS3 at first as it has a similar PEA reg.

Don’t see many Lancia Ypsilon’s these days.

What happened to those two?

What happened to those two?

As far as I am aware they went their own ways after finding it not financially viable on YT.

I quite enjoyed their videos, think after covid Lee went back to running his business and then shut it down when they weren't earning enough money to pay the other guy (forgotten his name now), think he went to work at a wrapping company? Just had a look and strangely Lee is uploading on his own channel occasionally.
Seems to be more travel stuff.

I always found him the more awkward of the two. Benji was a bit of a go shite, but he had that cheeky chappy character to him.

I'm not driving a mini metro....

It looked brand new.

I'm sure they're like 2.6 tonnes

The way they’ve “styled” it, it manages to look every single kilo.
