    Not sure it counts, because it wasn't technically on the road, but;

    For those who can't make it out, Chinook. Bloody low and bloody loud. Also pretty cool.

    Yes, pic resizing has been borked for a while, and those are more likely to be Swarovski crystals.

    With that numberplate I desperately hoped the other side says 'sack', despite the impossibility of it.

    If only mate!

    @IanW - you're right of course, more than likely anyway. Ridiculous. Probably worth 200+ with those modifications.

    OK, so it's not a car, and it's not really a road as such, but... I'm going to argue tooth and nail that it's cooler than almost anything else in this thread. :D (That's my dad btw.)

    That is a ridiculously large digger. Good boy toy.

    I worked on a project a few years ago when we got to use this beast (unfortunately could only be driven by a professional crew from the crane hire company!):

    This is a Google photo, but it was very similar to this:

    Guy in this Focus RS was absolutely flying, the way it puts down the power is phenomenal for a hot hatch. Bit squirrelly under braking though.

    He was putting guys on supersports bikes to shame, and they were shifting.

    Not cool, but typical. Some guy going down the main drag with a toilet in a wagon.

    I'm willing to bet I've seen that exact one before, was on Piccadilly coming up to the circus. We were sat behind it for a while in the inevitable traffic.

    I find it rather fun seeing the same ones over and over, like that gold wrapped Ferrari 458. I don't know why, but I guess it feels like they've become part of the daily routine?

    The one with IRAK or something on its plates?

    Lives round the back of Harrods, and the guy in it doesn't act like a total hooligan which is nice.

    EDIT - There is also a white La Ferrari thats been at The Berkeley recently, and a yellow F12 TDF.

    Just approaching J10 on M42 Northbound this evening and saw this in the outside lane :-

    [​IMG]

    Was absolutely staggered that it looked in good exterior condition, is MOTd until Nov 2017 and also taxed until Dec 2017 :jawdrop:

    I thought all these had suffered from terminal rust moths years ago.

    Note: It wasn't old enough to have the 'sqaure' steering wheel.
