Garlick's musing on modern specifications and the amount of options reminded me of one of my favourite time killers, which is to spec awful cars using Manufacturers increasingly decent configurators. Couldn't find the old thread, but it's probably time for a new one anyway.So:






A 316d ES in beige with beige and the lowliest of rims, run-flats and non adjustable M suspension, with a lot of options for just.

£44,750

Your turn!

went for an A4 in standard Teak Brown, although other vulgar custom colours are available

standard bog alloys

as hard as I tried couldn;t really mess up the interior as most Audi extras and details are all quite tasteful




just over £30k and I added some options including sat nav and some pointless st like interior lights and that nonsense

Doesn't seem to take much effort to make a Veyron look really unappealing:

BMW configurator never seems to work for me, neither does Porsche or Ford.
I'm going to try and find the old thread and dig up my incredible Phantom.
Here's the old thread.

Much nicer than I remember, have my Panamera instead
