I always see this but never have the chance to take a picture

The more you look the worse it gets

You know when people let their kids decorate the Christmas tree? Same energy.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Definitely a nonce pick-up that.

Lovely hands you have there @Tubbs Vice

 

[DaveDreads]

The wheels look like casters.

That has a nice ring to it.

I spotted this in Stockholm yesterday. Appreciate its not the best of pics but it was cold and the owner was stood looking. Why can’t we have a M550d estate 😞. I’d never buy another car again if I got one

 

[Mr Squashie]

Not 100% sure but I think thats a US spec 280Z

if you like Z cars you should watch this

 

[Mr Squashie]

I'll definitely give that a watch. Hagerty and Catchpole sounds like an awesome combo

 

[Mr Squashie]

As soon as I heard the opening word I realised I've seen that before! I think I assumed it was a Carfection video and the Hagerty logo threw me, turns out Carfection is no more though 😔

The wheels make me sad.

R34 GTT. Chatted to the owner. Freshly built RB25 with CP pistons, Tomei cams, big turbo etc etc. Also had GTR bumpers, Nismo-style bonnet and BBS wheels. He said it was about 600bhp.

 

[Stay Puft]

I still f**king love these.

I don't understand the hate these get. They look great, they're fast as f**k. I know they haven't really changed the design since it first launched but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Yeah will be around that power should be mid to high 500s with that sort of spec

I dont think its so much the car but normally the spanners that drive them??

 

[gavinf91]

I see that L200 about as well, wonder if it’s a piss take

 

[Matt Cup]

Just on the M62/A627M junction I spotted this beauty on the way home.

Had a quick chat to the driver, it’s based on a Mk3 MR2, for a kit car it looked like a really decent copy, it was turbo charged too 😍

 

[Stay Puft]

What’s the Porsche model? Decent 3 car garage.

[BIFCAIDS]

Interesting choice for the exhaust.

 

[Chris V6 255]

Nice Alpine A110 in the works carpark this morning.

Need to find out who’s it is.

Is that one of those whistler things?? Tragic

Looks like it doesn't it, i know them 4 pots don't sound great but that is nonce behavior.

 

[ForceIndia]

Saw a 964rs earlier. I remember there was a time when they were relatively cheap and unloved.

 

[Coby.]

Restoration project anyone?

And a Cossie in its natural state.

 

[Al_G]

Alfa 75 Veloce?

 

[Mr Squashie]

Can't remember the last time I saw this generation of Astra

Today mate.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Seen a new CTR nearby, did look lovely in the flesh I must say.

Saw a new M240i outside work. Then saw another identical one when I was at BMW workshop, unfortunately smashed up already

 

[gavinf91]

My dad had a doomiest doom blue Astra merit in that shape.

Like that.

As undeniably dull as they were, they're still 10x more characterful than whatever Vauxhall are selling these days

[BIFCAIDS]

I mean, look at the f**king state of that alloy!

 

[CrippsCorner]

Done a proper job there. Funnily enough the rest of the car was mostly fine, so it obviously took the brunt big time!

Clio today and a RR - Both poor pictures sorry:

Just checked the MOT history on that Clio - 176k miles! Windscreen been damaged for 4 years 🤪

 

[KitsonRis]

Sure I saw that Clio for sale many years ago

 

[S-JM]

Saw a new CTR today also, looked great on the road. Funnily enough it was being overtaken by one of those new Genesis things, also really don't mind them!

 

[Clio_fool]

Spotted a mk1 MR2 the other morning and a clio 200 gordini. The MR2 was nice.
