I wasn't at the BMW show on Sunday but will be at Beaulieu on the 22nd for the other show! Am expecting to see some crazy modz for sure. I'll be over at the M3ntal stand :cool:

Not some 500BHP+ monster, but I rather liked it. Was in pretty decent nick too.

Ooh, Skoda 130, pretty rare! Doesn't look standard, wonder if it's had an engine swap.

Nothing all that special but never seen one before. 2011 760Li

535bhp V12. Hopefully the owner is driven as opposed to the driver. Looks comfy back there. Looks like you could drive a Smart through those back doors

I remember everyone laughing at the old Skodas. But being rear engine and RWD they are far more interesting than the modern ones, which like other VAG cars are rather soul-less.

Yeah, I used to have a 130 Rapid that my Granddad gave to me, and even with such lowly power (~60bhp) fun could definitely be had if the conditions were right. Not that I ever tried of course.

That Skoda looks lovely, one amougnst my all time favs which includes the Fiat 131 SM and which the Skoda sort of reminds me of.

That drives my OCD mad! Why is the exhaust not in the middle of the car? Why is it off to the right slightly? WHO WOULD DO THIS? AHHHH!

Nasher · 10 Jul 2018 at 10:48

I agree, dual (split) exhausts or central tbh

Dup · 10 Jul 2018 at 10:50

It's also not central to the recess for it too!

Standard on the E28 and some other BMW's of that era. I like it, but it is a bit odd.

Just googled to check and so it is. Jeez, couldn't live with that :eek:

@Acme did you not take a picture of my car?

I actually didn't realise it was yours until I got home and saw the picture, maybe I knew subconsciously

I didn't take a single picture bud, I gave up doing that a while ago. I find it ruins the experience.

Hmm dunno man some cars you might not see again.. I only took a couple of photos were definitely some cars I should have taken some for

Akagi · 11 Jul 2018 at 12:11

Mate of mine has got into photography now so I've kinda given up and let him get on with it otherwise we collectively end up with loads of pictures of the same thing.
