I saw a Lotus Europa once, I had heard of them before but they are so rare I assumed they were a myth.
Ironically I saw a white one of these this morning, and what is even more ironic, is that it was in the process of being loaded onto the back of an AA van.
Hard-shoulder of M4 at about 6.45 this morning just after J3 London bound.
(this was a new europa, not the original)

I discovered this today. The Smart ForFour Brabus. Surprisingly swift and with (supposedly) traditional bone-shaking ride to please the Brabus purists.

If we are going for odd Jap performance cars how about the Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo. 230bhp with an EVO engine

Can't remember its name but it's a Subaru Legacy front.

There is probably dozens of JDM cars we know nothing about.

Saw that pickup at Tempest rally 2010 BTW,never seen another

Edit...Doh it says the name on the back.....It's a Baja
If you think the baja has a daft name check out its predecessor :

Ahhh the Brat, my farrier used to have one of those, kept going for years until it eventually gave up the ghost and he got himself a Skoda Fun pickup

Not long discovered the Toyota Caldina. It has the 260bhp engine and 4WD from a Toyota Celica GT-4, pretty cool..
Such a shame they didn't bring that one to the UK along with the rest of the Avensis range, but guess they thought there was no market for it

At Oulton Park this weekend watching the Britcar and Smart racing. No idea what either of these cars are from the Britcar Endurance races. I don't recognise 18 as a Noble, Ginetta or anything else similar, and 2 might be a track day kit car similar to an Ultima. Any ideas? Other cars in the race were the likes of Ferrari F430 and 458, TVR Sagaris, Mosler, Lotus Evora and Exige.
