yeah that's it, first one I saw last night, no idea what car it was on though!

They are not standard, they have been done via VCDS, had my GTI done like it as well.

The owner is the guy in the background on his phone

So he wasn't far away!

Mr Miyagi approves of the truck.

Not keen on Ferraris when they're dressed up aggressively like that.

At least it's a proper factory limited edition and not a posh Halfords job.

The carbon options that car has must cost more than most most cars.

They aren't options as it comes out just like that. It's an F12 TDF.

Imagine owning that. You've pretty much completed life, especially as a male.

Ooh, E types. Can I play?

I think that the modern Sony stereo spoils the originality of the interior of that e-type. Besides who wants music on when you're driving a car like that?

Talking of jags...

My friend works for Eagle, and he got to go on a road trip with them a couple of weeks back... Seems like a hard job eh?

Do you like Mitsubishis? Or is the plural of Mitsubishi just Mitsubishi? Anyway if you do like them, a huge collection has been found in Germany.

I only looked to see if I could see my parents old-style Galant there. And it is! More cars need lights/reflectors spanning the whole rear end:

It annoys me that those cars are all being kept there in storage, and not even looked after.

They should be out there in the world being enjoyed... If it were one good example of each and they were at least kept clean I could probably understand it...

340k plus options. Incredible.

You mean like all the mint condition ones that are driven regularly which, literally surround the entire building? That kind of example?

Akagi · 26 Oct 2016 at 17:18

yes exactly. I don't see the benefit of hoarding so many. It just means there are less on the road, which is a shame.

Janesy B · 26 Oct 2016 at 19:19

Driving cars doesn't preserve them either.

Akagi · 26 Oct 2016 at 19:43

I didn't say that it did.

Marvin · 26 Oct 2016 at 20:23

Looking at that F12, at first glance I thought it was a C7 Corvette. Now I actually am starting to think the Corvette's a better looking car, less fussy. I doubt either will be considered a classic in terms of styling in 40 years time, but that F12 isn't especially classy looking.

Akagi · 26 Oct 2016 at 20:44

Easily. I don't think that F12 is pretty at all.

Diddums · 27 Oct 2016 at 07:35

I agree with you on that one. The carbon bits look ridiculous, as do the vents in the rear arches. Don't even mention the carbon around the exhaust, it just looks silly. It's a supercar trying to prove a point. A point which doesn't need to be proven.

Got a ride home in a cracking car last night

hudson86 · 27 Oct 2016 at 14:03

Which one was it ? My first car was a 1100 Clubman of similar age. I'd guess its a pile of brown dust by now, wasnt far off in the late 80s.

Skillmister · 27 Oct 2016 at 14:38

A Clubman 1100 I believe. Was in great condition (other than a very rattly dash!) and seemed like a hoot to drive.
