Fake taxi gone upmarket?
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
I've been nosing at random old Frenchies (as mentioned when you made a rare spot t'other week) so was my first fleeting thought also until I remembered I saw new one on a dealer forecourt on Friday
I'm not expecting to see one on the road anytime soon, mind. Oh, saw a Cygnet being driven Friday though White with blue grilles & bits, I didn't fancy that one
They should have rolled that Ami back onto its wheels and carried like they would have a Reliant.

The nice thing about this angle is seeing everyone* rush to help after it flips.

Blimey, Rory Reid's got a real bee in his bonnet about it hasn't he?
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Would appear to have some justification though…. He might not have that arm now if VBH hadn’t righted it
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
I’m genuinely surprised that it’s possible to roll them. It’s got all the weight down at the bottom of the chassis with a light plastic body and low grip eco tyres. You can’t flip an ancient 2CV that easily or at least you shouldn’t be able to flip one at all.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
@Mito Man That was my thought too, but they are only 1.4m wide, and it would appear it's got more grip than stability.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Different topic - that's a challenging exterior colour (also FTAO @Delphi )

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Dear God, that's a terrible colour - and that gear shifter is truly horrific.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Speaking of poor 928 choices, the latest Porsche art car.
Apparently inspired by Y2k, they really captured how shite everything looked.

Horrific in every way. Wheels are awful

Like they looked at the Saab three spokes and decided they weren't quite ugly enough.

Those alloys are from the Porsche Panamericana concept from the early 90s:
ETA: Frankfurt motor show 1989 in fact, so a few months before the 90s.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Yes indeed, the interior is great. Though the dash looks pretty old-fashioned now since it's heavily 964 based whereas the exterior looks like the inspiration for the 996.

Of all the pics SJ could have chosen...
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
The layout of it aye, but the trimming of it
It's definitely 996 work in progress and shades of 993 targa with the roof and headlights. I'd forgotten quite how sliced the arches are; it looks like they inspired Bangle, and never mind a Safari 911 I want a Baja one now
