Aye, best looking Elise variant imo.

There’s a nice looking Dodge Hemi Dart on CC just now. To keep it black and gray :lol:

I know, I know. Temptation is a cruel mistress.
However whoever painted that with a brush must have been related to stevie wonder. Completely ruined it as they’ve painted over everything including the dials.
How about not having a sig at all?

450bhp+ car on "mixed tyres" all of which appear to be about 165 and looking very....shiny.

We're normally on the same page with Yank stuff but that does nothing for me. I know it's rare and all but.... meh.

Philistines, you’re seeing what’s there and not the vision. It was built to go racing, so the wheels are just to get it out the showroom and the paint is blank canvas.

This is what it could be

I love them, but the s1 Exige kind of overshadows them to me. Though, that reminds me, is this some 340r bodywork in Harry garage? Impressive hoarding skills to still have that and think "it'll come in useful one day."

I only know what it is because it was a ‘cheat’ car in one of the Forza games where you could tune it to stupid performance but for some reason it would qualify for a really low car class 😂

That's a lot of car for the money. Just don't like the front lights.

Remap that to about 500lb/ft and I could live with the lights.

I’m not really a Merc fan (Vito aside, BMW don’t do an equivalent) but that does look very nice for the money.

Flying Spur for £11k:

High miles but looks super clean. And although it says "no offers" he previously had it listed for £9,999 and it clearly didn't sell so I bet there's some wriggle room.

I want a blue C5 RS6 estate.

I can see it being the next fun weekend car as I want a family friendly one.

Probably a reliability nightmare, but still CAF. Link. Wonder how much that V8 weighs...
