We know they don't build it but the builds became increasingly inane and ridiculous and it was just a question of when it blew up and the really badly acted "unexpected surprise". None of them were actors, so there was no shock or surprise involved, just a tedious inevitability.'build'

I'm suspicious that you don't grasp comedy. It was an entertainment piece, like many others on TG, not some sort of genuine challenge.cj2013 said:

Humour arises from the unexpected or a clever twist so it may be you who doesn't understand comedy. Knowing the punchline tends to make it unfunny. Great if you like rolling your eyes though.
Nope, still you. That's not the definition of humour. 'The Fast Show', for one (amongst many) example, was comedy that had entirely predictable characters with no twists. It is humour based on personalities and behaviours, regardless of predictability. In both scenarios, millions of people found it funny. If you don't, it doesn't make everyone else wrong.

Saw this recently. Mild by PH standards, but still looked like it had been modified on a week's Jobseekers packet.
Shockingly enough, it's a 225, not a lookalike. Did wonder if RSTuning.co.uk were happily associated with the enthusiastic Plastikoting.
Maybe it's not that bad, but it reminds me of something that'd been written off twice and then was modified with £8.50 worth of eBay credit, like the £250 Zafira 1.6 petrol models that adorn Facebook clubs.
Tis a bit of a shame as that's a rare colour on a car that's become rarer and rarer. I still have my Megane 225 although it's standard other than powder coated wheels.

Back to the badly modified cars courtesy of this big winged Corsa VXR on eBay.
Hopefully the next owner will remove it (although looks like it would need a new tailgate / welding on the current one based on how the spoiler is fixed) as apart from the wing it looks alright for a VXR. Maybe get get rid of those rear corner & sideskirt splitters too as everytime i see those add ons on things like Mk7 Fiesta's, etc, i always get reminded of a lad on one of the Ford pages a couple of years ago that had someone tread on them at a show with the obvious snappy outcome.

Is a 911 with a 959 bodykit a fake Porsche or a real Porsche?

Here we have one terribly modified early 2000s JDM Toyota bB... complete with what must be the most impractical and least accesible scissor door setup imagineable. Horrendous bodykit.. and naff quad exhaust.
For some reason the seller paid £7k for it??!!. A mint condition standard-ish bB sells for £4k tops... due to the cost of putting this one back to standard (body panels aren't particularly cheap to get from Japan) I would say it's worth £500-1000 max.
I'm not into chrome but the wheels are just about the only thing on it that don't look completely terrible.
