This though…

Such a shame. A real, real shame.

Last mot report suggests it’s a rotten turd too, will probably be a basket case.

Was at Gaydon for the Ultimate German car show on the weekend and took some pics. Went in the Jag Museum and saw a XJ220 prototype V12 with scissor doors which never got to production cars and a few other pics.

and then the production car:

Terrible cars back in the day but it’s refreshing to see one still being used now.

A friend of mine has a 3 door that he’s turned into a bit of a rally/hillclimb monster.
Red top, 290bhp iirc NA, sequential box, dry sump etc.
It’s a long running project that still isn’t finished.
I’ll try get some pics.
He’s spent ridiculous sums on it, well over £50k.

There’s a second one with a Testarossa

@Trainerbrow

It’s been shipped about a lot for various work recently…

Some of these are a few years old, this engine has been rebuilt a couple of times (last rebuild bill was around £25k at AP Racing)…

290bhp to the rear wheels, the car only weighs about 600kg and is an absolute animal.

Wee vid having been run in/map tweaks etc…

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

f**k me, that looks awful!!

Bloke at the gym always has mental cars, guessing he’s a super car dealer or something.

 

[Nickw88]

I saw an Evoque convertible today. Thankfully I don’t see many of them around so had forgotten then even existed. What a stupid idea that was. Obviously no picture because they’re s**t.

I’d be grumpy if I had to deal with folks asking for the “best cash prize cuzzeh” all day long.

Confirmed my suspicions..

Just turn up mate, it’s a cafe with a little car display and views into their restoration bays.

Years ago when I had my E30 they had proper events on but I’m not sure if they still do it.

Reminds me of the Ashley exhaust I put on my nova sr back in the day. I could park it outside running (when you could without them being stolen) and hear it inside at the back of the house!

Audi was on French plates, must of cost a fortune!
