That looks like it's about to get launched out of the back of a Hercules.

Poopy potato pics, but better than no pics;
Talking of no pics, I saw one of these later but was driving;

Thought this was quite cool
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Ooh yeah
I think I've got a couple of those alloys nos in the original boxes.
(I really should sell stuff but it'd mean dealing with people).

Spotted an MG ZT 260 in the wild! Had a Mustang badge in the same place as the one pictured below, which looked awful.
I'll let him off though, as it sounded immense. Lovely waffley rumble - still fetching 10k+ on the used market, it seems....

I do still like them, although I maintain that they need another 80bhp minimum to complement the (lovely) soundtrack. A bit like tbe Passat W8.

Yes, they really weren't powerful enough, the m3 at the time had been out four years and had 340bhp, the m5 of the era had 400bhp.
I think they're cool and sound nice, and would be something fun to tool around in at a couple of grand, but not at £10k!

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
The version of the modular V8 that rover got was shite, 260bhp was as much as it ever made from the factory.
I’d quite like one tbh but I’d be tempted to swap in a later engine if I could.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Yes, they needed to make the ZT385 into full scale production to compete power-wise - but they binned the idea after making the tourer version and a couple of saloons for managementintegrale_evo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 2:56 am Yes, they really weren't powerful enough, the m3 at the time had been out four years and had 340bhp, the m5 of the era had 400bhp.

Much more exciting with nearly 400bhp
Re: Teh Spotted Thread
Good spot. Cool and interesting car but £10k? I’d rather have this E55 estate.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 2:56 am Yes, they really weren't powerful enough, the m3 at the time had been out four years and had 340bhp, the m5 of the era had 400bhp.

A B-17
It might be off down Mito's way; hopefully it is and he's there and he can get some pics.

I’ll look out for it as I’m repainting my rear bumper outside. Just the usual Spitfires flying right now.
How about not having a sig at all?

I forgot to post last week - I saw a duck. Or a DUKW, if you’re picky. In military livery like this:
