My final trip will be in an AMG. A genuine one, hopefully mapped to at least 700bhp.

Backwards, through a hedge...?

I saw this RS Kia people carrier in Edinburgh. Nasty!

Hate it when people do this..so common to see a very standard, diesel BMW plastered with 'M' badges.

Although they have goe to even more tw@t like efforts on this one:




Also saw a smart car a few weeks back rebadged with 'JEEP' logos - dont mind that though as its actually pretty funny!

He is very proud... thats him on the left checking his alloys for damage (while it's been parked?) so proud the name bad just isn't big enough!

Thats not misbadged. He isnt claiming it to be something it isnt.

The lesser-known Seat Toledo S3 Sport, complete with 'personalised' S3 number plate.

That's the infamous Halfrauds Sport badge.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a sleeper. I do believe it has a 400+HP Audi 2.0lt turbo in it.

I'm waiting for someone to post a pic of my MX5 with the Cooper S 'S' badge on it... which I stuck on because it's got a Mini Cooper S eaton M45 supercharger installed, so thought it would be something those who were in the know would recognise.

I find this funny, and don't have a problem with it, assuming that the owner / affixer meant it in a comedy way.

It's also abusing the facility.

I have re-badged my Shed Winter Project with the Prancing Elk, it is all tongue-in-cheek and once I have sorted the Chassis and brakes it will be having a stage 1 tune (230 bhp)in the spring, I will probably even leave it on 15" wheels just to keep it looking like a sleeper.

That's some dedication there... even inside the wheel arch.
But imagine trying to wash the bugger!
