Thumbs up friend

This isn't exactly a supercar spot but I saw it at work the other day and realised I couldn't remember the last time I saw this shape Corolla. It looks tiny in between the Transit & Fiesta too.

A friend used to have one of those Corolla G6R’s or something. Was awesome!

Guy round the corner has just got one of these. It looks flipping epic. They’re expensive, a bit silly and a Peugeot. But park that next to a decent a4/3 series/c class and they all look a bit dull and ordinary.

They do look brilliant. Even the normal one is a really good looking car.

Come to Bradford, you'll see f**king tonnes of those 😂

The only time I venture into Bratfud is to go to the Aldi or B&Q at Thornbury as they're the nearest to me. I'll keep my eye out, although I'm usually just trying to avoid the maniac drivers on Leeds Road. 🤣

Oh god you're not from East Bradford are you?🤮🤣

Leeds Road, AKA the Gaza strip where all the rented lambos go🤣🤣🤣

 

[NickReilly063]

Look at this that I saw last night in Sainsbury's car park - I waited around to see if I could meet Daniel Son and Mr Miyagi.

No thank god, I live in Stanningley, not far from New Pudsey Station. Close enough to Leeds road to hear all the pops & bang maps on the Golf Rs (innit bro) at all hours.

Epic spot!

 

[CrippsCorner]

What is it, a Chiron? Looks pretty turd lol.

I saw some McLaren today in a matt pale blue which sounds awful but looked feckin' awesome in the flesh.

Just seen an Aston Martin Cygnet, completely forgot they existed. What a strange thing to make.

Even stranger, Aston owners actually want them now and they sell for silly money. If only they all had a V8 in.

Yeah I googled after and saw that, they only made 150 cygnets in total apparently so a rare spot. Plate was 63E so must have money.

I don't even break a smile at a supercar, they take no effort to run and do nothing for me

My jaw drops when I still see a Sierra pickup though, now there is a motor worth the time to actually stop and look at

Is that a p100?

Also just known as a pickup🤣

Went for a walk around my neighborhood last night and spotted a few things...

Apologies if the pictures are awful, but it was dark. First up, a Ford Crown Victoria. Common here, but I have a bit of a soft spot for them. I really want a modified one for some reason.

Jag XJ with saggy suspension:

Don't know what this is, but they need a new car cover:

The Arabs love an old Merc:

See:

Chargers are really popular here. This one was an SRT8, but I've seen a Hellcat parked outside a building near me quite a few times

Badly modified CRX Del Sol:

See quite a lot of these about. Don't actually know what it is, other than a Toyota. This one was in pretty good condition. Most are really beaten up. I've even seen one operating as a taxi still

Small white wall tyres on pick-ups are a thing here for some reason

This lives round the corner from me. Chevrolet version of a Monaro. You also see quite a few SS Chevrolet Luminas (VXR8 basically)

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Couple more...

This is in a building just up the road from me:

This belongs to my neighbour. It's a Ferrari Edition of some kind. He thinks it's the only one in the country. They did sell a few Abarths here, but not the convertible and not this model. He lived in France for a while and brought it back with him. He took me out in it once. It has a weird, automated gearbox, with the slowest shifts I have ever felt.

This is his weekend car. I think the convertible is pretty rare here. One of the best sounding V8s I've ever heard.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Aye P100 Sierra

Also just known as a pickup🤣

My mate had one a few years back. Think he drove it with 4 or 5 bags of cement in the back to stop it going out on every corner. Surprised me really as he drove like a bellend 99% of the time, thought he would have loved a bit of back end action.

We got 9 of us in the back of it one night under a tarp coming back from a pub. Sobered me right up.

😂 ffs

Yeah coming back from a night out in the back of a dark van is grim. One corner and you're face-first into someone's knee 😂

Must be single digits of these left now, especially in this standard condition...

Gash interiors in them tho

 

[Not a Diesel!!!]

Gash interiors in them tho

I have tried to talk my wife into one of them in the early day. Interior was a killer. I liked it.

She was OK with Orange Lipstick.

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Remember reading an article about them a while ago. Quite an interesting story behind them. Despite the old man image, that gen of Rover 200 was quite well regarded I think.

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

My mate had a turbo converted one. Was a right laugh, until it came to a corner and you'd just slide out the seats

Yeah the brm was a cracking wee car back in the day and that shape did handle well in standard form more so the mg versions but 105bhp from a 1.4 na engine that sounded the tits with a filter on and to be fair the engines were ok once you sorted the cheap crap bit that was in the middle of them

 

[CrippsCorner]

I always fancied one of those, and a Proton GTi just for the rarity!

And for more s***s and giggles an evo 1,2or 3 engine bolts straight into the proton

 

[Gally]

Was it based on a Colt?

 

[Twingo 1??]

Was it based on a Colt?

Yes and suspension set up by lotus. Handling was OK the engine revved but had no torque.
Lots of early evo bits bolted straight on and the floor pan was easily converted to run the full evo 4x4 setup.
There is currently a 4x4 converted one on ebay.
