Came across this modded monstrosity while browsing for a bit of British V8, what some people do to perfectly good looking cars still amazes (and slightly sickens) me -

Oh. My. God.

That is a total abortion.

Leaving aside the aesthetic horror, it looks as though the criminal who committed the crime against taste has made it nigh on impossible to get into the car with any dignity, thereby immediately eliminating any coolness that scissor doors usually generate.

Not sure if it entirely belongs here, does look convincing from the outside, until you look inside. Appears well finished.

Can't work out what the base car is?
They've used a LOT of genuine Aston bits on that
I'd be fairly certain AML will be on to them! hehe

Advert says it's based on a (ultra reliable) Celica convertible.

Doesn't belong in here at all, that's a pretty well finished car, and apart from it being a 'pretend' AM, there's nothing wrong with it.

Looks like the owner is not au fait with the concept of "enough" or "when to stop".

Remove the Lambo doors and fit some nice wheels that could be quite good imo. And de-tint the lights!

I am sure this beauty has appeared on this list in some form or another.

I present the beautiful twix camaro that also including a red and alligator interior with an alligator moulded into the dashboard.

Google it if you want better pictures or go on the motor trend channel and watch Roadkill the presenters find this beauty in a car park in Florida.

No surprise you two like it. What is it about Daniels and tasteless mods?

No idea but it's a black jag with a bit of red paint on it, hardly a badly modified car is it?

The Aston/Jag on the other hand is quite awful

Love the random parking post/chain holder to stop people using the private parking. Seems like a good location for a flat next to a yard.
