OV9

That reminds me - I saw an E36 Compact pickup burbling through Wilmslow the other day.

This one in fact



Shortly followed by some sort of old Bristol I think. A bit like a 405 but not sure.

Spotted while out running this morning, a white Pagani Zonda which looked utterly incredible and like nothing from this world. I couldn't get my phone out quickly enough but it looked and sounded just as special as I hoped it would.

That is astonishingly awful. Is the rear overhang extended?

Wonder how much weight you’d need at the back of the bed to wheelie it?

Must be. I’m assuming they’ve done that to give it the same load capacity as an L200/Navara etc.

It had a trailer on when I saw it. The whole setup looked a mess

It must be quite the cut and shut underneath. I wonder how they extended the ladder frame and then stuck the tow bar on the extension
Must drive like absolute shit with a trailer.

So many questions...

There's a fair few people spotted it on Google- it's a 2007 TDV8 that I'm guessing it was butchered by someone called SIEVE with questionable taste, a grinder, limited painting skills and a need for attention.

I really want to know what the lettering on the tailgate says

S P O R T L O N G B E D I think!

Can’t find the article online though

Found a download of the magazine. The back doors are still doors with under bed storage- bed extension sized to fit a 250cc motorcross bike in

Longbed
Sounds (and looks) like a Chinese creation.

Popped in to town for breakfast this morning, found a nice quiet space in a car park and came back to find an M2 and an M3 had appeared. I do like both those colours...

A white 2010s Cadillac CTS coupe, and a bmw 3 series touring with the reg V12 DOH

Steve, it seems - I've downloaded the magazine now

I did wonder if the owner had made it by welding a load of sieves together...

ETA: some gems from the article:
Extended bumper: "joined the side pieces together using pop rivets and body filler"
Rear door handles: "open using repurposed Vauxhall Astra bonnet release cable and levers installed on the B-pillars"
Rear end: "a lot of pop rivets and glassfibre was required to make a single-piece tailgate"
Future plans: "as soon as he has tracked down the right 2010 Bentley Flying Spur, he’ll convert it to a second pick-up – following the same principles"

Camaro Z28 338 Stoker - immaculate example.

Owner was about so no pic but an amazing machine

Spotted on the way home tonight:
an Ora Cat
a Mitsubishi Pajero Evo

And on the way to work this morning a Volvo 850R estate in that lovely pale yellow signature colour.

That's a new one on me!

Jonny Smith has done a video on it - a Chinese cute EV which looks pretty good.
