Rare sight from this week. Had his foot down too

 

[v15ben]

Was he doing 88mph?

 

[MarkCup]

WTF? I thought they only came in the one non-colour raw stainless?

 

[Short Norman]

Never knew the stainless steel was just cladding until I saw a recent Johnny smith video.

Cladding? Oooh, I best go back and finish that one until the end then!

The one where the young kid owned it

Construction steel backbone chassis, glassfibre bodyshell, stainless-steel panels

Some were painted by dealers to help shift them. Red seemed popular in America. Someone I know imported a red one and then stripped it back to stainless.

Saw this phase 1 V6 this morning. Shame they've stuck the 'R' from a type r badge on it!!

This sounded like thunder today

 

[Gally]

Love them!

 

[MarkCup]

Love them!

I had no idea what it was!

 

[Gally]

Didn't make many of them or the project 8. Both sound immense.

A Fiesta ST. On my driveway

Borrowed it off a mate for a week or two as I'm currently without car. Looking forward to seeing what it's like.

Initial impressions are that the seating position isn't as good as my 197, but the ride is better. Oh, and it has torque lol.

Had one of these in front of me this morning, a quick search reveals it was a Saab 9-3 Carlsson (internet pics). Limited edition to celebrate Saabs win at the RAC rally, 280bhp V6, It sounded ace, definitely had a few extra mods.

They sound well with an exhaust, my V6 sounded really nice.

 

[Gally]

Don't think I've seen one of those before. I love the facelifted 9-3.

 

[P-Co]

Probably the worst picture ever, I was walking along and heard it but didn't bother turning round to see what it was so when to my surprise I saw this pass by I tried as quick as possible to get my phone out for a picture and well that didn't turn out well 🤣

Meant to be one of these, the fantastic rs200, probably a replica/kitcar but was a good site to see

Probably a Banham RS200, Maestro based but the bodywork was made in the actual RS200 moulds they bought from Ford after they stopped production.

I was soooo close to buying an estate V6 saab, but something was really off about it so I passed. Great things though and decent fast.

You say all that on the internet but then ignore the fact I’m sat under your stairs wanting attention, too much of a tease.

Because it's front mid engined. You don't notice it once you've been driving it for 5 mins.
