Supercars spotted, some rarities (Vol 4)
Discussion
That's a normal Rallye (I hesitate to use word "standard") wearing aftermarket wheels. They came as standard with multi-spoke Sebrings as soon on early Corrados, with BBS RM split-rims being optional.
In Europe, you could also get the Rallye mechanicals (ie 160bhp supercharged engine and syncro 4x4) in a normal big-bumper Mk2 Golf shell as the Golf G60 Syncro. They are rare and visually hard to tell apart from a normal G60 Golf.
On the other hand, the very rare 210bhp Mk2 G60 Limited you are thinking of (of which without checking I think 71 were made) did come with BBS splitties but was otherwise very Q-car subtle - only available in 5 door form with a single headlamp grille, small bumpers and painted metallic black.
....and switch off "Golf geek" mode!

I see, thanks for that! What I spotted wasn't as rare as I had hoped, but I did suspect those wheels may not have been standard. I wasn't a fan of the 'slammed' look either, to be honest.
It seems odd, then, that the most special body was reserved for the Rallye, whilst the most special drivetrain featured in the Limited. It's a shame you couldn't combine the two!

Saw this while waiting for the olympic torch to come through hemel hempstead yesterday (hence the crowds). Crazy-looking thing (TechArt Cayenne Turbo)
Then this evening a stunning blue FF (sorry for awful pictures) at about 7:30pm coming past Hemel train station, anyone know anything about it? Plate was 3 OO
And then the rarest of them all: a stretched Ferrari 360 (only one in the UK) on the motorway last night

a great spot, but, oh dear...IIRC, didnt the owner get done and have to remove all the Ferrari badges, or something?
it looks like when you're dragging a program window around and your computer freezes and it leaves a trail

Spotted this beautiful Mk2 Rallye Golf yesterday whilst out shopping. Certainly brightened up being dragged round Next! Could someone who knows more about Golfs than me please shed some light onto what it actually is? Is it a standard Rallye or one of the super-rare Limited models? Not sure how you differentiate between them! The reason I ask is because the wheels look more purposeful than I remember the Rallye coming with.
Should also be in the bad parking thread!![](http://thumbsnap.com/sc/WfWxQwx2.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="http://thumbsnap.com/HZZV4h8i" Target="_blank">[img]http://thumbsnap.com/sc/HZZV4h8i.jpg)

Didnt know you were there, Adam. I was there in the GS....parked miles away, literally, next to some sheep in a field!
Shame it lashed down. And it was Silverstone weekend. And Wimbledon finals day. Poor planning from FoC.
I saw your car, i was parked about 10 yards from it Shame it lashed down. And it was Silverstone weekend. And Wimbledon finals day. Poor planning from FoC.
Heard you come in, nice and loud.

Ha, really!? Funny. Heard you come in, nice and loud.
Re the noise, my Bro was there (one of his mates had an entry in the concours) and he usually says mine is loud/nice... he made a point of saying mine sounded gash compared to the Ferrari's!
Infairness, there were some superd sounding cars. 355's for me....very special.
