Now that’s a heavy beast with a huge engine in mine, not a sports car though. Not sure what it would be defined as actually. Sporting saloon ? Maybe ?
I believe the term is "Mid Life Crisis" wavey

It will not be driven at that height as it will have no air in the suspension or any travel, it will be raised to drive it.

It bugs me that the tuck isn't even front to back.

No that was 20 years ago when I got divorced and bought an Elise, early old age crisis maybe ?

Possibly not *THAT* badly modded - but I'm not a fan. Ford Ranger...



It would be quite cool to drop that on airbags or hydraulics, old mini truck style.

For those that thought the Nismo RS Juke wasn't the best looking car, how about one with a massive f'off wing screwed onto the back of it wobble



The ad on AutoTrader also referenced the car as having a number of, no expense spared, carbon fibre mods including front bumper and side skirt extension trims. Not sure how far the no expense statement goes as i don't think carbon effect ABS plastic counts as genuine carbon fibre hehe

The Juke is hideous to start with, this just takes it to the next level of awfulness

I love these XJCs, now comfortably hitting big prices, but the wheels on this are just ‘wrong’ - in the spirit of the thread. Some might think they’re great, but they belong on a Mk2 and not this Series 2 shape.
