.....broken

I was wondering how the mechanics work on that. Does it have another universal joint at the end where the wheels are attached?

Not that I don't understand the whole stanced thing and do find it rather silly, but why on earth would you do it to that car? In Japan there are two people who drive those cars, Police and Taxi drivers, it's like modifying a battered Toyota Carina over here

I was thinking more like this, but with more Halfords stick on chrome trim strip, and a few more dents, scuffs and scrapes

Minis should only ever be one of two things.

1) completely original and gleaming
or
2) LOOK completely original but have some crazy engine swap that will leave most supercar owners crying in their finance plans..

or three, have the original a series engine tuned up, although this normally ends in a bank balance testing blow up / clouds of steam / broken gearbox

minis with other engines arnt minis in my opinion - it spoils them!

Another poor 205, this time a CTI, with some choice mods



Who will take the poor thing on as a project?

I know of some 4x4 boys who would kill for a departure angle like that.

In central Birmingham, what looks at first glance like a very convincing CLK63 AMG- carbon rear diffuser, correct wheels, even sounded OK...


...sounded OK, says I. Something isn't right, I'm thinking, and it was the little clues that gave it away. The standard brake calipers that couldn't be hidden by drilled discs, the slight aftermarket look of the exhaust, the sound that wasnt quite right....

Checked online- 3.0 V6 Diesel...why do people feel the need!!!!

Saw this beauty in Cardiff yesterday:

There is a line. It was crossed a long time ago for this Audi.

Nothing really wrong with that, aside from the spoiler which could be removed.

It's got pop-up headlights...

Exactly, Thats why adding that stupid spoiler and awful wheels is such sacrilege. Would have been quite a nice little car before.

Skip to 1:40 for a MX-5 coupe.

While I think the mx5 coupe looks nice, this one doesn't!

Show winning bodywork and originality on the outside. Type-R / R1 / R6 / hayabusa engine and upgraded mechanics underneath.
