Motors Seen anything cool on the road lately?

This (file photo):-

Spoiler

Yes, it's a Ford Puma dressed as Lightning McQueen!

 

Ha!

There was guy in the town I used to live in, that converted a number of cars/trucks to match those from the cars universe, including Lightning McQueen, Tow-Mater, Sally, a shrunk version of McQueen's truck tractor unit (Mack), Luigi and Guido. and they were a darn sight better than that piss-poor attempt!

Saw a Bentley Bentayga in the centre of Manchester today. As naff looking in real life as it is in pictures.

 

hehe that reminds me of my pal Joe's Fiesta MK2.



Only his wasn't a joke. 400 brake in a bare car that weighs about the same as a basket of soup.



See the missing headlight? haha that was the intake

He was always car mad. He had an RS.



With a twist.. 450 brake Gartrac.





Had a couple of Skylines too.





Killed this one at the pod. Over 900 BHP + tiny oil patch = bad.




400 brake Evo.



If I ever fancied puking up my dinner I would just go spend the day with Joe haha.

 

They don't look that bad.

 

Yes they do

Hes picked the most 'Max Power' body kits for all of them..

 

Some sort of McLaren in downtown Toronto.

 

Looks like a Mclaren 675LT or 650S with MSO bits added on... never can quite tell with all of the special editions around

 

Got told off and had to leave before I could get any more pics

 

An Electric Blue, brand new Focus RS - the only one in the country, parked just outside my office this morning.

 

Just saw a BMW 18 https://www.arnoldclark.com/used-ca...RSFP-vNOKlXRfaQHRQXgYzS0MH7yVPsfhtBoCJLbw_wcB

I am afraid it had passed me by by before I had a chance to A) get my phone out or more importantly B) realise what I had just seen.

 

My Dad had 2 of those, he made one good one out of 2. I remember it was sprayed dog poo brown !

 

Yeah poo brown was a staple of the 70s. My aunt had a poo brown escort. Two, actually, a MK2 and a MK3.

Those Austins were atrocious. The interior stunk of nasty vinyl and everything was tacky and nasty. Glad to see a few have survived though.

 

Pwoah.

 

Dog poo brown vulgalor upholstery !

Agreed, there are some cars which you are happy to see driving around. Some cars you were glad to see the back of !

 

Nitrous Blue.

Still, plenty of good Subaru's to be found in Namibia...

 

Wednesday on Chelsea Manor Street



And then in the Hurlingham on Friday eve:

 

Interestingly, i also saw one of these parked yesterday. Only the third one I've seen so far.

 

That's the stuff. Dog poo brown vinyl that was like sitting on a hot tin roof in the summer. Wasn't long before you were sliding around in your own sweat.

 

That was my Grand Fathers Mark 1 Allegro with Square steering wheel, it was also red.

British Lelyland cars did actually get better when they brought over the Triumph Acclaim, my Dad bought one and had it for years, I seem to remember he had that car till I was 14 years old. For a 1.3 Litre engine and Twin Overhead cam, dual carbs it went like stink !
