A couple from yesterday, although the camera grabs don't do them justice



Hard to see, but both exhausts were pointing in a completely different direction and every single panel was battered





This had narrower wheels on the back than the front, presumably to help that mighty 1.8 powerplant do so mad drifts yo. Driven by someone in a baseball cap who kept redlining it away from the lights but, as you can see in the picture, the clouds of blue smoke it was putting out (it was so bad it made my car stink) means he won't be doing it for long

Not a 1.8 has duel exhaust tips, it's a 6cyl of some sort.

No, that is a 1.8.

It must be an aftermarket exhaust that releases another ~220BHP from the engine hehe

It's a 2 litre engine, but probably (I'm guessing) a 318.

There's an almost identical Cayenne that lives round here.

The owner is fat and covered in tattoos.

Take one Ferrari 308GTB and try to turn it into something it's not...



There is something severely wrong in this picture...



I would feel sorry for the person who paid £63,000 for it, but they're obviously insane/blind, so it would be lost on him/her.

Nope. Get out. Who cares if the proportions aren't quite right, that is still a monumentally sexy looking car.
It's not like you're ever going to own a real one.

It's fine by me, I'd rather have that than an MR2 conversion.

Get rid of that rear spoiler and those odd vinyl graphics and I quite like that. Nice colour

I am guessing that the sign in the fist pic could suggest that his car is the boarding place for animals?

Disagree, the 288GTO was basically a 308 with a racing engine and body work anyway. And it looks like quality work.

I'd have it in a second!

And a follow up question, how do you feel about Mw. Stewart turning his regular 430 spider into a homebrew Scuderia/16M? (thread in RR)
