While looking for a picture of a matt black Overfinch Range Rover to post in here, I stumbled across this...

I think it'd be perfect!

Very cool, but what's with the suspension height at the front, looks like it has no engine installed...

It's on a RR chassis. Ideal for traversing post-apocalyptic wasteland. (Or pre-apocalypctic Middlesbrough!)

Ah, I see. Ideal Mad Max fodder then, just needs a giant supercharger and your there.

Actually, if there was one car that was crying out for matte black, it's a DMC-12!

Only if its anodised or maybe carbide treated (not sure that's possible on SS) otherwise it sort of defeats the point of having a stainless steel car.

I would go with the Lister LeMans XJS, but hard top:



I could imagine a version of this with a big supercharger sticking through the bonnet. Preferably a replica though, wouldn't want to do it to a real Lister. >shudder<

The Mad-Max'ed Mk.3 Capris generally look a bit naff and a waste of a good Capri, but this Mk.1 looks not bad at all:

You are aware that Tom Hardy (british actor) is cast to play Max in the currently filming remake?

Yeah, well, maybe he was the reason for the shortage?

Good! About time he got a lead role! Definitely deserves it after his performance as Bane.

He's come a long way from Layercake.
