Those car fantasies cloud9 But ultimately they are just that fantasies....

I have gone skiing with a ski rack on my 911, although just with the wife. Now having a young family, I still have the 911 which performs exceptional as the occasional sports car with kids in the back, but ultimately, a Range Rover or the like is just soooooo much better at performing family and/or skiing duties, etc.
Someone did put together a AWD Vanquish stunt car for the ice driving scenes in Die Another Day. The V12 was swapped for a Ford Modular V8 (Mustang/F150/Ford GT) which provided sufficient room for the front diff.
I believe it was a Quaife rallycross transmission.

DS 23 spotted this afternoon in the local Tesco carpark. It certainly stood out amongst everything else!

No pic as driving but a Ferrari 296 GTB - sounded great but was painted metallic gold which looked, frankly, fking awful

I saw a DS converted to electric at a show a few years ago. For me its one of the few cars that would really suit being electrified, more wafting.

I may have seen a 190 evo 2 but not sure. No pic unfortunately but saw a LHD 190e with the plate F1 Evo. I noticed the spoiler but it may have been dark blue? Or just a resto-mod perhaps?

Don’t know the car in question but Evo 1 was 1989 and Evo 2 was 1990/1991.

A lot of Mercedes of that era were Blue/Black Metallic, including EVOs.

I had a 1989 manual 190e and a mate had a manual Cosworth 2.3 both in that colour back in the 90s. I wish I'd had his car!

I just heard a really loud car while I was out at lunch. I turned round expecting to see a modified Golf, no it's a bright green Urus. The same as this (you all know what they look like anyway)



If I had the money, I'd have one.

Spotted this morning whilst returning from walking the dog, it certainly fits into the ‘rarities’ description I think. A Fisker Ocean, already rare enough over here given they only released it this year (I believe only just this month in UK). Even more so that this is a “One” launch edition model limited to 5000 according to their website.

I guess if it’s clever enough to take your dog for a walk, it’s going to be very popular.
