Teh Spotted Thread
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Saw an Ioniq 6 in that bright blue they paint the spicy Velosters in. A bold colour choice for such a big and odd shaped car but it looked cool.

Oh yeah, they do a petrol version too.Mito Man wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 1:24 pmYou can buy a delivery mileage pre reg petrol one for just over £15k, don’t think I’d bother with the EV version as the price difference would take forever to reclaim.
God I don't pay much attention to MG, do I?
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
The petrol ones sound like the engines are from shit 80s cars though. A toolbox in a washing machine would be more refined.
One of those cars for pensioners who insist on buying new for some reason.

To be fair, my first reaction when seeing one of these was "I thought MG went bust (again)". Was very confused.Beany wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 1:28 pmOh yeah, they do a petrol version too.

And yes, apparently it's a "compact SUV". What bollocks.

Someone near me has got one of these Fiskers and I like it. It's a decent size and the satin paint finish and forged carbon wheel blades project an air of reassuring expenseSundayjumper wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2023 8:59 amIf you'd told me it was the latest Chinese MG, I wouldn't have argued.
Stupid ipad nailed to the dash interior spoils things a little but I'd have one.

I saw one one of these the other night too. Cool shape and decent details..not quite as eye catching as the giant Maestro though (Ioniq 5)
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Spotted this in central London at the weekend - any ideas what it is?

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
It's repairable, but I bet that paint is a bastard to match.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
A full on Mansory Urus in olive freen - horrific. And it's exhaust sound was purely non stop pops, didn't even sound like a V8 when accelerating!
How about not having a sig at all?

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
On the M6 today. Looked like a total basket case but I guess given its value once restored it’s worth doing. RHD too. £150k+ ?

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
The owner lives in the building it’s parked outside. Young guy (late teens/early twenties). Gets a parking ticket every day (has a glove box full of them). Doesn’t pay them as the car isn’t uk registered and the council no longer tow cars away parked in valid bays…
There was a white Senna and Ford GT just around the corner from it this morning which suited both of them. Kuwait plates.
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
The problem is that it costs £100k+ to restore them properly, and they’ll still drive like a solid Triumph Spitfire with slow steering.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 4:30 pm On the M6 today.

I guess he will not be able to get a parking permit if its not UK registered.Jimexpl wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 1:38 pmThe owner lives in the building it’s parked outside.

This is one of my big bugbears - maybe he takes it back every few months (I doubt) but you have a max of 6 months until you have to re-register in the UK. I'd be pulling a lot of cars on foreign plates to check when they were brought into the country. I imagine many are effectively uninsured (and of course untaxed) as well.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
No need to pay congestion charge or speeding tickets either. So just whack a fake middle eastern number plate* on your car and you can do whatever you like.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
@Gavster - you've fancied a small camper van for ages, this is obviously a photoshop but it looks really cool
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
That is cool I do love the idea of a little camper and the only thing that really stops me from investigating further is the absence of a decent shower in the little vans.
