I spotted a lancer EVO wagon the other day
View attachment 1684930

Evo variant was only available in the later Evo 9 model. IMO once you get over the novelty, it's abit niche.

The Scooby had been available as a wagon for ages, sold well at the time but it's not the one people are after these days.

Yeah it wouldn't be my choice of evo. Still, a rare spot out on the roads.

I really love the Impreza wagons, but it has to be a classic for me. My mate’s STI was awesome.

 

[R3k1355]

It's so impressive that Subaru not only made a WRX wagon, but also gave it the STi treatment, even in the first generation.

 

[McGherkin]

They’re so small too. They’re smaller than a mk3 Focus parked side by side.

That's the main reason I didn't buy a Wagon in the end, not big enough for the dog without the seats down.

You're going to feel a right tit when I tell you he used it as a kennel for two f**king great Estrela Mountain Dogs.

I know their clientele is a bit questionable but I always preferred the forester to the Impreza wagon

Buy a legacy gtb then

And he could still use his back seats with the dogs in the boot?

What are you going to put in the back seats? Mannequins? Cardboard boxes?

I haven't had back seats for 20 years, which is why I bought an E46 Touring because a wrx was too small, the boot on those is no bigger than a Golf, but the dogs legs are f*cked so I'm back to no back seats in a hatchback again.

Right up @Daniel street? Took a double take when I flicked past the picture.

We were there that day, this thing looked 100% standard from 30ft away, it was only when it went out that we heard it was a bit fruity. Was going well too!

Didn't know he'd done the engine, although one of our group did exactly the same to his 996 mid-afternoon. The vibration through the passenger seat when it went was sickening.

Ouch, IMS bearing again?

I like the light bar, that's about it.

I like the wing mirrors. They look really reflective.

Need for speed Africa edition. The Corolla must be running a spoon engine with overnight parts from Japan to need that downforce 🤣

They look very cyberpunk, needs a barcode reg plate.

This is what I was thinking, proper futuristic.

Theres a bit of A7, CLS and 911 in there, plenty of vomit reactions to it but I’m sold 👍🏼

They look better in pictures than reality. And they look rank in pictures.

Spotted this parked up today, Audi switchgear and wing mirrors, but I’ve got absolutely no clue what it is. Looks too nice to be a kit car.
Someone else was looking at it as I went past it and he didn’t have a clue either.
Does anyone know what it is? I don’t even recognise the badge.

 

[DaveDreads]

Looks like a VAG that's been finished by a coachbuilders.

Number plate checker says its an A5

Yeah the MOT certificate was on the passenger seat saying it's an A5, looks like it's an S5 by the BHP. Just not a clue what it actually is.

 

[R3k1355]

The interior looks top drawer, the exterior looks like a dogs dinner.

 

[DaveDreads]

I thought the opposite, no one wants a hearing aid beige interior.

If it's a "proper" one, it's a Benarrow PB5. over €200k new 😂

Found another pic of it on Google, from 2011 in Monaco, so I assume it must be a proper one. Crazy money.

They seem to have invented some of the specs there:

mid-mounted 5.0-liter V10 engine
carbon fiber monocoque chassis
Luxurious cabin that can seat two passengers.

I'm pretty sure it's got seats in the rear, which probably means it can't run a mid-mount a V-10, and if it had a carbon fibre chassis, I doubt they'd be allowed to register it as an A5.
