Does it say gumball on the screen? That would explain it.

Ah, I think it does actually!

Saw this MR2 with a body kit and some stickers. Also sweet Corsa. Almost as sweet as my A6 behind.

Great spec that

MichaelAwkward · 2 Jun 2019 at 18:51

Need to sort out the reg plates though, mismatched and that cringe plastic surround looks naff.

Are the headlights like that as standard? Look odd.

Also look how deep the wheels are inside the arches.

On a Challenge Stradale, yes

Im confused, that is a real one is it not?

I genuinely find it impossible to tell a genuine 360 from a good fake... Its actually quite annoying.

Rear plates are government-issued, so nothing you can do about that. Front plate has to be made yourself so short of a naff sticker, there’s not much else he could’ve done. Full-size would’ve looked awful.

As for the number plate holder, not sure owner really gives a toss. Probably and older buyer if I were to hazard a guess.

lol this one was very real. Looked stunning. The dealer it came from (can see on the number plate surround) only has mint stock; poked around his warehouse the other month.

Akagi · 2 Jun 2019 at 20:19

Oh good.

Though I did just do some Googling, there are a few pics of real vs. high quality fake side by side and it is genuinely very difficult to tell which is the real...

If someone gets complimented on their "Ferarri" when driving an MR2, I wonder how they feel... Are they so immersed in their fake lifestyle that they take the compliment, or do they feel a pang of guilt or shame I wonder?

Similarly people with real 360's must get accused of driving an MR2 replica all the time... I find the whole thing quite bizarre.

The MR2s are much smaller though; Ferraris are quite wide.

Had nice carbon ceramics with yellow callipers, and you could see the engine in all its glory and now was bolted to the chassis. Coz racecar.

Nasher · 2 Jun 2019 at 20:42

You can make an MR2 the same width as a Ferrari with the right mods. Probably need to change all the suspension parts to do it.

floatindolphin · 3 Jun 2019 at 14:22

has anyone made an MR2 out of a Ferrari? I'd love to see that

Jonnycoupe · 4 Jun 2019 at 22:39

Went Coventry Motofest on Sunday. Brilliant free event that takes over the city and half the ring road.

200mph XE Project8

SVA Velar with the V8

Watching my mate Ian's coverage of it at the moment, looks like a great day! Never seen anything like it.

peterattheboro · 5 Jun 2019 at 13:31

I went on Saturday.

DampCat · 5 Jun 2019 at 17:14

This hideous Rolls Royce at a Cheshire Gun Club

And this guy that didn't move for 4 days in a york city centre car park

Lovely, were it not in white. Think i'd have gone a little more exotic (pointy elbows yeah yeah)

Akagi · 5 Jun 2019 at 17:19

I'd love to have so much money that I can leave my McLaren in a city centre car-park for a week, presumably because I can't be bothered to go an get it because I'm having so much fun snorting sherbert off a buttered scone surrounded by... Sorry what was I saying?

A guy I know abandoned his Merc gt-r on one of my sites for a month. Just because he didn't need it.

Probably cheaper to just get a parking ticket. I know it is in Cambridge if your staying more than 6 hours. People just park their McLarens right in the centre and take the £25 fine
