I can’t help but look at that and think further modding that into a pick-up camper van would be pretty cool.

Spotted this and did a double take, it's 320d but has a fully blocked out kidney grill mod like it's an ev for some reason? Does this not hurt performance?



Also spotted this on rear window which makes the decision even more confusing if its a performance decrease.

It's not really a cage. It appears to be a custom tube chassis with half a van body on top, and I guess Audi mechanicals.
Yep it has an a4 dashboard so I’d suspect it’s the entire chassis.
Short front overhang for an Audi
Audi Quattro 1.9tdi running 165bhp. Custom built for ski trips apparently. Just seen the extensive for sale post.
Link?
It might be 4wd but with the rubber band road tyres that's going nowhere fast in the ice or snow

That might be ugly for a utility vehicle, but it’s impressively useful for a grotto.

That'll be the car park just outside the gates of Sirmione.

The owner has a couple of businesses in the town and has had that Rolls for years.

Not sure what the 'vision' was here for the bonnet art, but it looks like a cow sniffing engine smoke:

Oh, that's just horrible. I don't think that era of Mustangs is very good to start with, and the thing on the bonnet is awful but the worst thing about it is the way the flames start and stop at the door edges.

"The customised paintwork makes the car standout and it is a magnet for photographers."



People may want to take photos of the grumpy lookin' glue-huffin' indeterminate farm animal on your car but that may not make them necessarily "photographers".

Location is correct. It rather jarred with the beauty of the surroundings

I hope I didn’t spend too many €s in one of the businesses

That’s a fox body with a later front end. I think it looks pretty great, also looks as if it’s been done well too..

(Obviously the chrome wheels are toss)
