Trying to make one car look like another ill never get. No different to a fake Rolex.
If you want the real thing go buy one. A real cobbled together mess.
The most cringy thing though is the 'Hoonigan' screen strip, it may as well say 'dhead'.

Umm.... where would you suggest a normal person should go and buy an RS200?


As for the rest, I can only assume you haven't seen Ken Block's?

I think we can all agree that it was a silly, ill-thought-out contribution.

Added to that, Ken Block is a k*ob

Mini: Looks great fun.

RX-7: Don't know enough about them other than it has different wheels.

Porsche render: Just no.

Totally agreed! Would love the RX-7 just not a fan of the engine!

Why?

His cry baby attitude when he kept crashing out of WRX series and trying to blame everyone else for his lack of skills.

But just enough skill to sustain a long running niche career being backed by international headline sponsors, being paid god-only-knows for hooning around in some of the most fun vehicles on the planet... and being so good at it he literally re-invented the word 'Hoon!'

...I doubt he cries all that often.

Looks like a 1M at first glance, it's a 135i shell (with a sun roof) with complete genuine 1M bodywork (as in every weld is where it should be from factory) then underneath it is a E92 M3 with the V8 engine,6 speed manual gearbox, running gear, suspension (including fully functional EDC) steering & braking, rear end and wheels..

I think this has just become my perfect modern BMW.

My favourite modern-ish BMW shape (1M) with my favourite modern-ish BMW engine (E92 V8). Yes please!

That is just lovely and a perfect spec

Been watckinh The Gymkhana Files on Amazon. Block comes across as a good guy, and with little of the star/dhead factor.

Fact I did not know - he was the co-founder of DC Shoes, which sold for $100m, launching his fast car and driving hobby/career. Who knew?!

I’m sure quite a few (including me).

I have a lot of time for him - he may not be in the top 5% needed for a motorsport hero but he’s a good entertainer, and I have a lot of respect for him after seeing him sign autographs for a good two hours at the FOS a few years ago.

Plus he loves a fast Ford.

Some of his hangers-on on the Hoonigan videos seem like the typical “everything is awesome” YouTube excited types though.

I also knew

[RB Will]

Well at least it’s a different reason than the usual he is crap because he hasn’t won any WRC

[Caddyshack]

I thought most people knew about the DC shoe connection. His first stunts like the Subaru jump were covered in DC stickers.

Superbly done and not 'scene' at all. Wonderful.

Rick Dore is an artist... he has such an eye for lines and proportions. Some of his stuff is exquisite.

That Jaguar (Black Pearl) is a thing of wonder.

Hopefully James will be out of Rehab before Feb 1st to be there.

The Metallica chaps car collection is absolute perfection.

It absolutely is - and the sort of collection I'd have if I had his money. Apparently I look a lot like him, no doubt have similar music tastes - I just need the money (and talent) and those cars will be mine, I tell you, MINE!
