Is this actually a car - a thing - a .......

I know the wheels are different but is it a standard model ?

Looks like a cross between a Subaru and an S Type -

It's nigh time that none flexible bonnet ornaments are banned. Imagine being hit as pedestrian at a survivable speed, but something like that hooking in to you and ripping you open, or leaving you disfigured. That aside, yes, it's a crap modification.
It would always afford you the opportunity to stand aside as you'd get a tap on the shoulder.

Exactly. I like dinosaurs. I'd love a grown-up sized one of those kiddy coats with the spines on the hood, but even if they existed I wouldn't have one, because there'd be a queue of miserable bullies lining up to give me grief about it.
The natural history museum used to sell them. My daughters bought me one...

You know I quite like that, apart from the front end.

The same platform had two other models with different faces. Perhaps Sir would prefer the Brevis?



Or the Progrès? (pronounced "Prog-Ray" and Sir probably wouldn't prefer this one)



It's a platform that offered a manual gearbox, 4wd and a 1JZ too (although never in the one package) so something quite interesting could be built there. idea

Of the 3 versions available on 1 platform .I actually prefer the Verossa , the Brevis looks like a large Skoda and the Progres is just a bit dull .
The Verossa has a quirky late Lancia look about it .

Yep. It’s like a Lancia Thesis and a Last gen Ford Granada had a baby.

Gentlemen. May I present this fine specimen of Mad Max fanboyism as seen in Chester Morrisons car park this afternoon. Please note the V8 and Interceptor badges on the bootlid, the MFP plate and finally the quad pipe side exit exhausts on each side. Alas no front pictures as I was laughing too much and SWMBO was not amused.

I feel like that's been featured before but has actually been taken further now than when we last saw it.

You've got to be some sort of weapon to think that looks good. I'm curious about the owner but also don't want to meet them smile

It might not be to everyone's taste but there's nothing particularly bad about it. The kit looks good and the wrap is certainly eye catching.

I've posted it before, it's either a staff member or a very regular customer.
