Saw this in St Neots, Cambs yesterday.



The famous Ford Focus GSI Sport 1.6 Injection.

The legendary Focus GSi Sport 1.6 Injection is so fast that it needs a spoiler on the rear wiper blade to have any chance of a clean swept area...

Unfortunately not



And another one spotted in our car park, a Golf RTDI

I take it that it's also fitted with some super sticky race tyres?

Saw a Ford Kuga yesterday, underneath the Kuga badge it had the first name and initial of the owner A__ G. The numberplate also was ___ AMG. Can only assume that her initials are AMG.

An actual AMG badge took that a bit far though.

I saw a Fiat Stilo estate with Abarth badges all over it.

They didn't do one of those did they.....?

no - though a 3dr/5dr could have donated the 2.4 engine into the MW body - or yes, as is suspected, scorpion badges could merely be adorning a 1.2/1.4/1.6/diesel regardless.

Black wheels aside I thought this was quite a nice car, until I saw the badge on the boot...

Courtesy of a poster on the Peugeot 205 forum - spotted in a Scottish breakers yard. So many words to describe this

Saw this beauty in Sheffield today, he'd even gone to the trouble of installing silver wing mirrors.
In case you're wondering its a 140bhp diesel

Those ebay Renaultsport-esque badges appear on all sorts. Theres an A4 SE down the road from me with some.

M25 last week going on holidays - 520D on Hungarian plates with an M5 badge on the back.

Rarely spotted in the wild, but here's the rare Ford KA Arsenal Limited Edition

There is a big difference in an S Line kit and a badge indicating it is something it isn't, a fake German plate with a dodgy font, and 4 exhausts with two of them probably being fake.

It did sound like it was all connected up, very loud, but didn't sound very nice. Also don't forget the silver wing mirrors
