The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

I bought a brand new one of these back in the day. Very noisy above 120 (mainly induction roar), but plenty of grunt. The digital display looks very dated now

My ex has one locked up and rotting away in storage, along with a V6 Vectra and S13 240SX. I don’t think anyone has even been in there in maybe 7/8 years.

Honestly, she should be ashamed of herself ☹️

We have a winner. Don't think that can be topped.

Useless info alert!

I saw an 05 reg silver BMW E46 emm free last night with dogs dick red leather and CSL wheels. It looked really nice!! It was low but the tyres seemed to have a fatter side wall than usual.. I wish I'd have got a pic!

Just 1 licensed (and 4 others SORN) in the country according to howmanyleft!

This car is local to me, he has a successful car repair business which specialises in older performance cars (MV Turbos).
Some of my friends are regular customers of his (one of which owns the mintestest R33 GTR…..in the world 🤣)

He did a load of repair work on this before heading down to Silverstone for a track day/show.

Small world 😮

Pics that he shared on his FB page…

He races this too, owned it forever…

Imagine coming in to work to see this…

Worth following him as some of the cars he gets in are really interesting.
He shares a lot of the repair work and a decent description of the problems he encounters (problems always overlooked by whatever “specialist” has been at it before him).

A friend of mine owns this R33 Skyline GTR, pics don’t do it justice.
It’s absolutely immaculate inside and out with a service record longer than The Bayeux Tapestry.

It’s been living in the Dundee Transport Museum for spells, for the last couple of years.

Pics…

They are so f**king cool, but they just don't have any power, if that's the later EFI 190bhp, if not 155, criminal from an engine that sounds so nice.

R33 is nice and this decal on the WRX is one of my all time favourites. Sends me back to the old Gran Turismo days.

I still love them! There's a blue one local-ish to me. But I've only seen it a couple of times.

I was watching the Tour de France when it was on the other week, I had to do a double take / rewind it as there was a yellow one parked on the grass (on the wrong side of the road) with two speaker tannoys attached to the roll bar!

Whilst I was taking the pic, the work tart says "why you taking a photo of that old banger for?

Never realised how under-wheeled they were until seeing that. Not FRP sized gap, but still a shame.would look good lowered with some spacers, especially in that bluey-purple colour

I was more shocked that the corner of the bumper wasn't made up of duct tape.

Thought that was factory standard

Yep the red oxide primer matches the tail lights quite well 👌

I like this 2 car garage. I've never seen either move, although the Volvo has a long MoT. The Alfa looks OK, but hasn't had a MoT since 2021 and is listing slightly.

The plastic sheeting over the front door is rather concerning as well.

Lovely FD2 type R at Liverpool Cars n Coffee yesterday. The chap had just picked it up from Torque GT last week.

Only the 2nd time I’ve ever seen one in the wild.

Not even close!

There's a blue one on AutoTrader the same as mine (a blue phase 1) that's on less than 3000 miles from new... it is £70k though!

I really don't like the rear lights on the saloon / booted ones!

I was meant to be going to that, but I woke up a little late and then couldn't be arsed driving over.

I've noticed a CRX parked around the corner from me a few times recently. Not seen one in years.

 

[Trainerbrow]

TSW Stealths as well, very period.

My mum and dad spotted this turn up at a camp site. That’s a converted MAN 8x8 military truck.

Ask them if they've got any droids for sale.

As cool as that is, it didn't half hit every branch of the ugly tree on its way down.

Of all the people to say this, it shouldn't have been you

It's like Louis Spence calling someone a faggot
