Has to be one of the worst I've seen in ages. Has MOT until November. Must have gone to Stevie Wonder's for that test.

Does it even fit through width restrictions?
The MOT history makes for some appalling reading.

All wrong lads

I've got a feeling it's a massive Ford truck type drive train underneath. Notice the wheels have 10 wheel nuts and tyre looks bigger than the whole front door. Also the massive sills. I think it could even be a Ford f650. These monsters can carry a small moon easily. Or maybe the f550 which is like half the size - lol.

And to think people say supercar owners are over compensating! Look at the state of that thing!
that looks like fun
Fuel costs aside, I'd have one of those like a shot, over compensating or not.
I'm fairly sure they do a dually version too sperm
Average 7.5 mpg US, so approx. 9 MPG here... not too bad....
Presumably diesel, and 9mpg is what a 44-tonne artic with aerodynamic trailer will average on the motorway according to an old PH post so depending on what "average" means for the fatty F-truck then seems plausible. Bet it's good for towing.

However, if you turn up the wick to 1,000+bhp and prat about (because why not?) then I suspect it will be a tad thirsty.
Knowing the yanks petrol too

The v10 in the viper started life in a truck

Remember lethal weapon film - he pulled down that house in one

Finding a ghastly make over of a BMW XM isn't that challenging but I think the Venuum Rhino has got to be up there as the worst. The blades under the rear window and the six shooter exhaust are pretty special....

Not sure they have made it out of the render stage though

My first reaction was the it's a rebodied MX-5 or Z3, but now I don't think it is.

It's a '97 Z3

I’m impressed that they’ve managed to make the hideous base model even uglier.

Duck tail is OK it's the lower lip of the front opening. Other than that it's OK and a lot better than many a car with a bodykit attached.

I don’t see anything wrong with that. The “ mouth” isn’t quite right but I think if it was body colour it would look better. As long as it doesn’t claim to be a Ferrari or have any Ferrari badges I can’t see that it’s any worse than those Arkley bodies on a Midget or those GT6 style bodies you used to see on Spitfires.

No, it's definitely not OK.

I feel a little guilt about this one since (apparently) the chap did all the work himself, so kudos on that but....
