That reminds me - I saw an E36 Compact pickup burbling through Wilmslow the other day.

This one in fact

Shortly followed by some sort of old Bristol I think. A bit like a 405 but not sure.

Spotted while out running this morning, a white Pagani Zonda which looked utterly incredible and like nothing from this world. I couldn't get my phone out quickly enough but it looked and sounded just as special as I hoped it would.
Cheers,

Mike.

That is astonishingly awful. Is the rear overhang extended?

Wonder how much weight you’d need at the back of the bed to wheelie it? :lol:

Must be. I’m assuming they’ve done that to give it the same load capacity as an L200/Navara etc.

It had a trailer on when I saw it. The whole setup looked a mess 😂

It must be quite the cut and shut underneath. I wonder how they extended the ladder frame and then stuck the tow bar on the extension :lol:
Must drive like absolute shit with a trailer.
How about not having a sig at all?

There's a fair few people spotted it on Google- it's a 2007 TDV8 that I'm guessing it was butchered by someone called SIEVE with questionable taste, a grinder, limited painting skills and a need for attention.

Found a download of the magazine. The back doors are still doors with under bed storage- bed extension sized to fit a 250cc motorcross bike in

Popped in to town for breakfast this morning, found a nice quiet space in a car park and came back to find an M2 and an M3 had appeared. I do like both those colours...

Steve, it seems - I've downloaded the magazine now :lol:

I did wonder if the owner had made it by welding a load of sieves together...

ETA: some gems from the article:
Extended bumper: "joined the side pieces together using pop rivets and body filler"
Rear door handles: "open using repurposed Vauxhall Astra bonnet release cable and levers installed on the B-pillars"
Rear end: "a lot of pop rivets and glassfibre was required to make a single-piece tailgate"
Future plans: "as soon as he has tracked down the right 2010 Bentley Flying Spur, he’ll convert it to a second pick-up – following the same principles"

Jonny Smith has done a video on it - a Chinese cute EV which looks pretty good.
