Found on FB - apparently that was a Street Machine feature car

I doubt that , I bought every Street Machine from issue 1 for quite a few years and don't recall that thing featuring .

Probably, or Mk ll Transit.

It’s a horror, but TBH the seventies’/eighties’ custom car scene offers a rich vein of very questionable mods which, at the time, were obviously considered ‘the business’. Then along came the nineties and the Max Power generation, which regularly produced cars just as bad now but were the nuts at the time. Next came slammed air rides, pro-street, (which I love), rat rods and donks (mainly in the States), and I don’t even want to think about the bosozoku ‘scene’

This popped up in my Twitter feed for some reason, don't know if it's badly modified or not but anyway.

I'd say not - It looks pretty well done to me

What actually is that I wonder ? Take some of the tat off that and change the wheels it wouldn’t be too bad

I quite like that. Looks like something from a Gerry Anderson series...

Heh, that was my first thought before I noticed the TGV logo.

I have an inkling this little beauty may have graced these pages before; if so, apologies. If not, prepare yourself...
