Spoiler alert..

It's important to control rear end lift when taking the roundabouts in Milton Keynes on your way to the East Midlands Mundane Office Equipment Salesperson of the Year Awards ceremony.

Can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something off about this Audi R8.

Hilarious. As clown cars go, that is right up there with when people used to try to make VW Beatles look like Porsche 935s and 959s.

What I wonder is whether it is a terminal lack of taste or an outrageous sense of humour that makes people spend so much time and money to do this kind of thing? It is one thing to do individual modifications, but to try to make something look like a different car is fundamentally invalid ever since the Chinese perfected bringing knock-off cars to mass production (such as the "Land Wind" clone of the Evoke).

The term "epic fail" may have fallen out of popular usage in the last few years, but I can't think of anything better to describe this

Is that going to be legal then?

I can't see how, wouldn't that need an IVA check? Not to mention the airbag equipped steering wheel has been removed

Maybe it's just a one season thing. Buy a rear-ended Beetle, turn it into a pickup, take it to the shows for a season then scrap it when the next MoT is due.

That looks ste, but still no worse than a standard one

I think it's cool, although I'm not keen on the wood.

What's this one about?

It's got john cooper sticker on the rear quarter when it's a normal cooper!!

Really? It's just a stock Mini with a small sticker!

suspension looks dicked around with, but yea it's hardly a massive problem! It says John Cooper anyway, not John Cooper Works...

i don't think he was saying that's a bad one, merely what the other bad one was meant to be looking a bit like.

And I only posted it because the basic shapes are similar
