What is the craziest car you've seen?

[Cfnteabag]

I saw the big yellow dog from an earlier video on the A34 yesterday! Only caught a glimpse but assume its for dogs trust?

Craziest, in a good way, quite possibly this........

Wolfrace Sonic. Library pic as the car was in bits when a saw it....

Came in to post this. I saw it on the A21 heading out of Bromley sometime in the late 80's. Never seen anything like it on the road since.

It is mental - powered by 2 x Rover 3.5 V8's, with an immensely crazy pushbutton gear change positioned on the partition between the driver and the passenger

Was doing a toy run on the bike a few years ago and they had two cars in the group, one was a robin reliant with a rover v8 ( Video Here) and the other a raised american pickup where the bonnet was almost level with my head (i'm 6'1") as it was raised quite a bit, if I remember rightly it struggled to get under the canopy at the hospital at the end of the journey.

There used to be a Citroen CX with the roof chopped off in south Essex. Saw it driving through Brentwood high street once, then I believe it went to die in Thurrock. Sorry no pictures, it was over 20 years ago...

This is the Outspan Orange car

I remember seeing that (or another one, was there more than one?) parked up in Berkhamstead in the 90's. Not sure if it was a runner then.

There was about four of them parked in that Berkhamstead yard from memory.

Glad I'm not the only one who gets annoyed beyond reason by that - you don't say Escort Ford or 911 Porsche do you, so why does every fker get this wrong?

To answer an earlier post yes the big yellow dog is the Dogs Trust mascot and I think there's a couple of them doing the rounds on the road. Also, I'm guessing the twin-engined Alfasud was built as a hillclimb car? Oh and the replica of "The Car" (a film so bad it's brilliant) has done the rounds at the shows for years - it's based on a Granada chassis.

That was at Car Fest last year.

Don't have the pics/video any more, but my dad used to know a friend of a friend who took an old Bentley racer and shoved a RR Merlin engine in it.

Sounded absolutely tremendous.

EDIT: Found some footage, this was the one I think...

Not the craziest, but my old Skyline use to get a few stares when I took it out.

Bought it as a track/drift car but used it as a daily driver for a few months. Sold it back in 2006 and when I look at it now I think what the fk was I thinking.

It did back up it's ridiculous looks as it was running 400bhp at the rear wheels, which wasn't bad for a GTST.

That is a beautiful thing.

Durango 95, but close enough!

Its an Adams Brothers Probe 16.

Was on Top Gear a few years ago as one of the cars to vote for to be restored.

It didn't win.

Looks like this now though.
