I saw something very similar in Battersea Park in London a couple of years ago. Giant slicks on the rear and twin turbos, gently sauntering around looking for a car park. 
Are you sure it was turbos? Marc regularly cruises into London..I also had a memory of turbos being visible. Maybe they were peaking through holes in the bonnet? Or maybe I just dreamt that later on.

I'm not sure, now that you ask! For some reason my memory has turbos etched in. I seem to remember the car I saw wasn't loud - either exhaust noise or the supercharger whine I was listening out for - and when I heard a bit of throttle it sounded a bit 'whooshie' like a turbo setup.
I also had a memory of turbos being visible. Maybe they were peaking through holes in the bonnet? Or maybe I just dreamt that later on.
Trigger any memories?I also had a memory of turbos being visible. Maybe they were peaking through holes in the bonnet? Or maybe I just dreamt that later on.

Pro chargers can sound a bit turbo like as they are (from memory) a centrifugal type supercharger rather than a roots/screw type I also had a memory of turbos being visible. Maybe they were peaking through holes in the bonnet? Or maybe I just dreamt that later on.

Still waiting...
The ONLY 'bodykits' I can bear are the ones some cars get 'as standard' - most Imprezas have what would count as a bodykit (wider front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a spoiler) from the factory - as do most hot hatches and even BMW Sport models and so on.
Otherwise I'm in the "they're all turds" category.
Thing is that mr2 pictured isn't modified its a genuine factory model. A friend and his dad have both got one. If my memory is right the are only 3 genuine ones in the ukThe ONLY 'bodykits' I can bear are the ones some cars get 'as standard' - most Imprezas have what would count as a bodykit (wider front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a spoiler) from the factory - as do most hot hatches and even BMW Sport models and so on.
