with that styling I think you'd have to be in order to own it.

Personally I would own the Trans Am but that car there looks like the sort of thing you'd drive on the way to some sort of audition for a male on male porn scene

A lot of money for a very ugly looking car with a v6.

Posted this elswhere on the net but the only redeeming feature of a yank car is the v8. Anything else is pointless in the UK. Why would you buy a v6? There is no logical argument, it could be the better car, it could be the best engine but in the UK a yank car is v8 or not.

I was looking at classic trans am's, spotted a stunning one in Dorset that ticked all the boxes but then spotted it was a v6 turbo...

If I was payed to take it, tons of things to do on this car to make it more up to his style.

first : add two cylinders, and make them sound right biggrin

get some real brakes - how can you put moonsize rims and keep these DVD-sized brake discs?

52 inches rims with some rubber sprayed on it -> straight to the wrecker where they belong, original 20" SS wheels could be heavy but do their job properly

I walked past this (literally) yesterday.

It isn't a looker, and with just a V6 it is pointless.

Move on......

Me too! I have the joy of working in the borough of Redbridge.

Mario from TOWIE writes car reviews for that car dealers. Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

who is Mario and more worryingly how do you both know him?

I think for Ian and SOCO we know the answer to the question in the thread title!

Feigning ignorance of TOWIE to make yourself seem more sophisticated than the rest of us isn't fooling anyone. One look at your number plate is enough for people to realise that you are still firmly in the gutter. tongue out
