They stand in the back and wave petro-dollars at Bernie and Sepp Blatter. The slimy bu**ers have to run to catch the moolah.

Proving that all the oil money in the world cannot buy taste I present the new Bahrain spec, neon pink Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG!

I'd argue that this is not badly modified, but a case of someone having more flamboyance than the average Brit is used to.

That paint is not on the standard colour chart so it's either a factory customisation, a respray or a wrap, ergo modified. Irrespective of the semantics it's still fking ghastly!

I did utter a slight "oh dear god!" when I opened the thread, but to be honest good for them - it's just down to differing tastes rather than ste modifications. I'm not a big fan of pink cars, I doubt I'll ever have one but I'd rather a few pink cars around than the mass of white, silver, grey and black cars we currently have.

Not necessarily a "bad" modification - aesthetically I think it looks quite good, actually - more an "odd" one:

An AMG CLK55 masquerading as a C63 Coop: .





Bit of an odd one - by taking a perfectly good car and making it out to be another perfectly good car, its become neither. I suppose the same comment could be applied to all the cars here, but there we go.

Or am I mistaken? It's claiming to be a CLK63 Black Series - was there such a thing? I know there was a black series CLK, but I assumed it was a ponied-up CLK55. Anyhoo...

Still, it looks awful in white, with the black lip and I'm not sure the bonnet is standard.

For some reason this reminds me of the old PC game Interstate '82!

Stumbled on this bit of VW tat:





Yes, that is a bowling pin instead of a gearstick....

Unsure if this has made it on here yet.

I don't think I've ever laughed out loud at a car before. That bmw 106 looks like a little pig.

Worth £150 of anyones money

[gazchap]

Surely you could break it for more than £150?

And by "break it", I mean "sell tickets to you destroying it."

The cyclone alloys (even in that condition) are worth £100.

Proves how much the rest of the car is worth.....

It's going to need a new EXHAURST!

Not my photo, but this thing was ruining the ambience outside Rardley's in Grayshott as I cycled past yesterday...


...to my eyes, it's utterly horrible in almost every conceivable way. And all I could think of after seeing the plate was "what a c6nnt!".

DVLA have it registered as a red, 1 litre Polo E from 2000.

Funny enough, if you look at it on street view there's a hideous Celica https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.110721,-0.749807...
