look at the lowered beast in black *ahem* white on the left.

Hah, back in the good old days before Mr Kodak invented the camera, I had a much dirtier white Maxi than that.

If I'd have washed it, it would have shown all the rust

Oh, and it was briefly lowered on one side, when one of the hydrolastic units burst on the motorway

Invicta parked on "my" parking spot

Lambo stuck in traffic

Plod clearing up the M25 after a truck shed some of its load onto it. Imagine the fun I had with 3 bikers when they opened the section up again

I am led to believe this was once a car...

in north carolina last week.
all the focus' have huge bumpers out there, looks well stupid.

Is that cos they can't drive for poo?

 

[Nozzer]

Something like that. A lot of their cars have bumper modifications to make them protrude further than the Euro models.

Just spotted this while I was stuck on the Wolverhampton Road, where an artic had broken down in the middle of a junction.

Is it me, or does some of it look marginally less than road legal?

And a couple of minutes earlier, I saw an F40 leave some rubber behind out of a roundabout

The Ferrari had F4TTY as the number plate, but unfortunately I misread the 4 as an A when I first looked at it. I'm sure that's not the image he wanted to give!

those rear tyres dont look legal to me, thought front tyres needed some kind of guard, also, where are the brake lights etc??

 

[djbenjo]

Not even slightly legal, all the wheels have to be covered, no number plate etc

Nice 355 in the bodyshop

Actually, there was an old pre-suffix white on black plate that I edited out.

Sounded pretty mean, though!

[great advice]

If it was built before those laws came into place is the car exempt?

 

[andyfield]

I'm pretty sure I saw that car at Santa Pod today, was running some reasonable times I think

 

[Gojira]

Probably, but the requirements for things like mudguards and lights are a fair bit older than I am!

True but that looks like a 20's/30's ford/willys type thing so could be older than we think!!

Gojira's post reminded me taht I stumbled on a meet a few months back which included loads of these types of cars. I saw a few in a little seaside village called Hemsby, lovely motors just a shame there driving wasn't of a similar standard .

I took a gamble that they would be part of a bigger meet and dragged the gf to Great Yarmouth. Well I wasn't dissapointed, there must have been hundreds of American motors. Me being the dope I am I forgot my camera but grabbed my phone when I went back to my car and luckily there were still a couple of cars hanging about.

Doesnt matter when it was made, it still has to be safe. Even a horse cart has to have reflective lights on the back. It'd be a driving ban if that car was spotted on the road by a copper.

Still looks the bomb, someone on here has a legal version of the same car I think

Iceland carpark today, firstly I heard it and thought wtf was that, then it pulled up next to us

sounded well nice, then i asked the bloke if i could take a pic and he said yeah sure, then he told me it was only a replica Still sounded the business though and was mint!

 

[mk1_salami]

Lol the '355' is nowhere near convincing. I really don't know why people bother!

 

[smokedog]

Lambo, the noise it makes is awesome

 

[geiger]

looks like an MR2 in that photo
