That looks like a dog I saw at the weekend, plenty tall enough standing on all fours. I'm not convinced the "owner" had control of it, fortunately it was extremely placid and docile.

Terrible photo...

I watched a video about Octopussy earlier and remembered another reason why I like the GTV6...

A Swedish registered XC90 Autonomous vehicle thing which had a massive array of Lidar type devices and cameras stuck on its roof.

A Lynk & Co 01 in Belgium (on the A16). Apart from the badging it could be any of the identikit small crossover/SUV jobbies. Only really noticed it because the rear is a mess, especially the lights.

Not IRL, but this came up on my insta feed, and I approved:

I nearly fell off my chair reading this

This Ferrari replica is built on Peugeot 406 Coupe which is one of the best donor cars if you’re up on building a replica Ferrari 360.

You fcuking WHAT ?? A fwd Peugeot ?

The 406 Coupe was a good looking car, styled by Pininfarina around the same time as the 360. I remember them being used as 360 replicas years ago. You have to admit it is fairly convincing.

Wonder if they ever made the twin-engined version? https://www.carscoops.com/2006/08/ferra ... sed-on_14/

I like that Saab.

Spotted a Fisker Ocean. Didn't realise they sold them here (although the founder is Danish).

Convertible manuel 944S2 driving around Manhattan today.. looked like it was used daily

WJS, I'm surprised you're surprised by it, SJ
I can't remember the last time I saw a 406C irl
I don't think you'd get the same effect from a 407 coupe, but I hope someone adapted the kit to a 406 saloon and/or estate

From a great distance perhaps

Nice window fitment on the door.

Tail pipes are in the wrong place.

Fake vents either side of the crappy perspex window held in with raised fixing screws, some additional struts across the inside of the window that a real one doesn't have, and did you look at the photo of the "engine" ??? It's a children's toy.

And no pics of the interior...

You could perhaps keep the rear seats rather than have the Fisher Price engine…

Oh I followed one of these into town yesterday. It was on foreign plates but not sure where from. I had no idea what it was!

Black M3 CS coming from Marlow to M4 (motorway).. didn’t like it too much going on at the front with the side strakes and front wheel set up.

Seen a few of these in Gothenburg. Had no idea what they were - a Geely/Volvo thing that will apparently appear soon in the UK. Had to laugh at the wank speak branding though:

"the focus of the brand is on internet connectivity, innovative purchasing models and targets a young professional demographic"

I saw 3 parked up in a wealthy suburb full of old farts - couldn't be more opposite to the above description of the target audience.

Also saw some Nio models at the G'burg showroom site. Also something I've not seen before.

Seen quite a few Chinese EVs that I wasn't aware you could buy here.

With the first brand "focus" being internet connectivity, what are the odds it'll be fun to drive?
