I do agree there, a thicker sidewall and more usable would be my taste. But it’s a promotional tool, and for that reason it’s awesome.

How is it not a car exactly? It’s not a bag of crisps, or a leafy meadow.

Didn't know where to put this 3d printed car chassis! Like the idea but needs another roll cage for offside

The Skoda Citigo project on briskoda.net is now running. The original intent was for it to have an Audi TT engine and 4wd system. The project was sold on unfinished, and it has now been built as a 4wd with a VW 2.0 TDI engine. At the moment the engine has 'only' 280bhp, they have plans for 360bhp. https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/447378-citig...

I like that .... apart from the cat flap window. Just makes it look like it's had some performance upgrades rather than being standard.

Another car circumventing the proper regulations regarding Radically Altered Vehicles.

It's a shame folks decide to do this, since they obviously have a bunch of talent and skill, and not paying the extra £600 to get the car correctly road registered seems daft given the consequences.

Astounding thing.
I'm not really a fan of America muscle cars but for reasons unknown to me, that is utterly fantastic!

Its on air suspension so you can pick your ride height, thats the parked height. The Rothmans colours are all painted too, not stickers!

Certainly has !
Known him 25+ years and we tend to like many of the same stuff .
Waiting to see the scheme for the Holden .
Also a couple of the other projects when they get built .
The motorhome with a racer behind it will be a sight in the paddocks this year .

It's owned/built by Darkside Developments, they're performance diesel tuners.

You could probably have a thread just purely on good and bad modified Range Rover's but how does this one rate? I'm not sure if it belongs in this thread or the badly modified one, for sure it had presence though.

Spiv factor confirmed by the poor parking. Fail.

Utterly pointless, it looks stupid, has ruined the ride quality and any off-road utility is long gone, meanwhile it wont actually handle well around a corner because it still is a shipping container on wheels and has a high CoG

I think that looks quite cool tbh. Something just to cruise around in to the shops. I'd drive that

I agree its a luxury cruiser probably used in a city, probably a great way to get around and the owner has personalised it how he/she wants! I doubt it will ever need to be used on a dirt road or travel above 60mph

Think the arches are flared (widebody) so a pretty expensive custom vehicle! The only thing I dislike about it is that the rear is so much higher than the front giving an unbalanced look!
