I cannot believe what I have just seen.
A mondeo saloon, driven by a more mature driver, but it had a BIG wing spoiler ala BTCC at least a foot off the boot!
Looked really silly I though. Anyone else seen these?

When I was younger I had a lot of my friends turn their Mum's and Dad's cars into boy racer mobiles. I think this partly explains the phenomenon of huge ass spoilers and other crazy bits on what used to be normal go shopping cars.

What are these people thinking?

Theres a Mondeo, and judging by the interior its something like an LX, thats got full race car (STP) livery, body kit and wheels round my way.

Without a doubt the most ridiculous car I have seen in some time...

I think we can beat that.

never ones to shrink away from a challenge, there's someone in Maidstone who has max'd...












...wait for it...














...a Ka.



Surely the very minimum you need to read Max power is a Rev counter?????

(The Ka only has a speedo and a fuel guage)

There's a bloke in Poole who has one of these things on the back of a 1.8 Cavalier.

I suppose it at least provides something to put your tools on when it breaks down...

BMW 3 series, M3 wheels, EVO VI spoiler but, rather spoiled the effect by having the standard weedy exhaust pipe and, he hadn't even taken off the 318i badge!

I quite like the Cortina, I really wanted one when I was 8

If I found one for sale I'd definately buy it, if only to go to the next VW meet and introduce myself as Chassis

Does anyone know if that exhuast's a Halfords bolt on, or would I have to order it specially...

Do these people actually look at their cars?

I almost pi$$ed myself laughing the other day when I saw a modded Micra. The rear window contained a link to www.micrasportclub.co.uk/

Unfortunately that particular car isn't on there as it was the most extreme piece of nonsense I'd seen for a long time

You don't need to know. They are the 'white (astra) van' of the car world.

I've driven one they are damn quick
