The roadholding is better than I'd have expected...
I'd heard F1 cars can do this but not Astras! (assuming it is an Astra?)

You might think such a fine motor sounded awesome burbling past me in the car park...but it didn’t it clattered it’s dieselly way around instead.

Could conceivably be a butchered X6M50D but I’m betting it was probably just a 3.0d might belong over in misbadged too tbh but this seems a good home for it.
I see this around quite often, it seems attracted to disabled spaces which could explain the modifications, the owner is potentially blind.

(Apologies for the late reply, just catching up on this thread)

Hand in your PH membership, even upside down you should be able to identify cars, even a naff Corsa!

I thought Moraira was the posh bit! hehe
Some good cars spots during or last trip (the 206 was the only 'modified' abomination on our visit).

Whilst looking for pictures of ronal turbo wheels, I stumbled across this R36 Skoda.

I actually quite like it but can't work out why.

Putting it in this thread as I suspect that will be the general opinion, but I already disagree with my own placement.

wrong thread, no stupid camber, low but not dragging off the ground, but not badly modified, just bad taste.

See I like that too - I'm in my mid 40s and would look tragic driving it, but I sometimes wish we could all be driving cars with a bit more individuality like that without being judged.

Get out, that has no place in this thread. I'd drive that every day, on the provision it has a suitable beefy engine.
I like that. First thought was that it was a Suzuki or Land Rover underneath, it's an American plate though, a post on this forum thinks it has a Chevy S10 chassis https://xwebforums.com/forum/index.php?threads/x-m...

I really like that too. There is an old 911 going around London with a funky painting if I remember rightly. Looks great.

Can't work out if it's dirty, glittery or both, probably both. Looks ridiculous either way.
