Was down at the NE1 Newcastle Motor Show today, more pictures in this thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18680580
No photos, but the Carbage Run (http://www.carbagerun.nl/) has been in town the past couple of days. Plenty of old bangers painted up and bits stuck on, the best one that I saw was one that had what could only be described as an industrial sized bubble machine on the roof that filled the air with soap bubbles when it was stopped at some lights.

You only tend to see it on cars owned by older men too.
I was overtaken by a guy driving something similar on the M4 this evening.
It was badged as a diesel and had quad pipes, but definitely had a C63 engine swap! (Noise and speed made this quite obvious)
Did you hear that one run Mark? Dunno if it was the same car I saw as I can't remember the plate
Yeah it sounded like a CDI not the 6.2 litre v8, which you can tell even from idle 
Don't engine swaps need to be declared to the DVLA too so it can be reclassified and stuff? DVLA vehicle info page states it's the E320.
Plus the left side pipes are wonky, nobody doing an AMG engine swap is going to have such an oversight!

Legally engine swaps are supposed to be declared yeah, but the guy I saw was driving in a manner that suggested he probably didn't care much for rules! Hah
Won't be the same car I saw by the sound of it, but a funny coincidence nonetheless

Yup, it's time to move onto something new
I knew that if I didn't sell it I would keep spending on it instead of saving for its replacement. Got a great deal from RSD so off it went!

The irony of the sign hurt a little (bonus points for the car in front being an ultra rare 420i).
saw a guy near me with a "brabus" on the back of his sclass! looked like it was the lowest end s-class you could get, covered in filth and with no visible exhaust pipes? as I rode past I just heard the "dug dug dug dug..."
