This has to be one of the worst I've seen, a photo of a photo on a cracked phone taken with a potato?

An image that hasn't been rotated as well. Mind you, when it's a £650 Range Rover a lack of pictures might be a good thing




Also, this abortion

I'm sorely tempted to buy that, just to see the look on people's faces when I get out of it at work.

I'm sure I would feel more sanguine driving out of the city centre destruction derby next week in that thing (having been driven into on the way home today by a muppet on a roundabout).

If mechanically sound I see no problem in getting that as long as its no more then a couple of hundred quid. good laugh.

I like it. I wouldn't drive it, but I do like it.

Local Facebook feed. Not sure if joke or serious and yes that's a roof mounted lightbar.
With better wheels and an all over paint of the same colour and then I might like it better.

If those rims are genuine AMG Turbines, they're probably worth more then the rest of the car.

Those wheels are Mercedes Alphards - I believe they were an option on W215 CLs and S-classes of a similar vintage. Lovely wheels, worth around a grand in good nick, no real place on a (probably diesel) Passat though.

none of those thing are as big a problem for the next MoT as the random metalwork welded all over it, that's never passing another test

"Modified"

"BARGAIN"

"Mot until Aug 2017 will also fly through the next one."


10 points to anyone who finds two matching colour panels on this beauty.

Yeah, but 3/4 of it has been resprayed... presumably the bits under the carpets and in the boot as I can't see any of it that matches.

On the plus side, a under-the-arches mechanic says the engine is "mint" because he's heard it running

Is there meant to be something in the picture? All I can see is a concrete drive with a G-Wagon on it?

[Adz The Rat]

How the hell do you only respray 3/4 of a car?
