Teh Spotted Thread

I never thought they looked awesome, but I do get a little "ooh" when I spot a Fiat Coupe.

Colleague (who was a capable driver) had a 20V that I passengered in a couple of times - most memorably a high-speed trip from Edinburgh to 3-sisters outdoor kart track in Wigan (which I see has now been upgraded and is suitable for cars & bikes too ) for an endurance karting event....

20V was grippy and nippy, and made some great noises.

Yeah, one of my mates had a Bravo HGT which had the same engine on a newer platform iirc. Always thought it was cool.

As I drove out of our road the other day I had to wait for a G wagon to pass.

No, not one of the chintzy modern influencers favourites, an early 80s Swb open top one on skinny wheels and painted dark green.

It’s probably horrible to drive, but about a million times cooler than seeing a modern one crawling along city streets.

Seeing other stuff now the weathers starting to turn....

Mk4 R32 Golf. Not seen one in a dogs age. Seemingly overlooked at the time due to the "GTi is cheaper/faster/remapable" but apparently they're now quite expensive??

And two more R's up, a Skyline R34, but looked to have some stick on GTR bits. Always liked these, can't remember the last time I saw one.

The mk4 R32 probably has a bit of kudos from the popularity of the mk7 R. I think those extravagant Konig seats were an option so perhaps they need those to command the big money.

I think the R32 was always a fanboy favourite - do they have wide arches?

I had a Mk5 for a while. It was OK and made a nice noise but it was a bit boring - it accelerated like a diesel - very linear - and the fancy pants gearbox wasn't all that.

No, just different bumpers to any other mk4.

They were quite cheap for a long time.

Brother in law had one- not as fast as you think and ruinous on fuel

From experience of the one I saw (in London, in a mates car, windows down, in a tunnel), my fuck the noise they make though. Delicious.

No idea if it was standard or not. Don't care.

Shame they put that engine in a Golf, really.

Saw one of those new MG sports cars from roughly this angle

Looked alright, a bit non descript. Suits the badge better than cheap and nasty SUVs I guess.
