Saw this today....


Memorable points include -

A number of prancing horse logos
A jaguar bonnet badge
Luggage rack
Front AND rear shark fin aerials
Bonnet and roof scoops
A number of intake vents (front and rear)
House rubber door stoppers on the front number plate
A good few spot lights
Chrome strip trim everywhere (even across the bonnet)
A Sport badge in the middle of the front grill
and many more

Inside there was about 7 extra gauges added across the dash(god knows what they were for)
all with carbon effect trim.

Everyone to their own

Thats not a real car... I mean, is like someone did that on purpose... like some sort of a exteeme felt project or something like that

CianRyan

Yeah, that gas to be a joke car. No one's that bad.

Big Nasty

Hahahaha I've seen it alright! It was a while back, can't even remember what it was?

Imagine the poor fella in the NCT who has to accept the car to test. Surely it would fail on the jaguar on the bonnet?

It is around cork a fair bit.
Spotted it a few months ago, and then a few weeks ago.
It's got a great spec, had a peek inside as it was parked beside where I work

seen this today, sorry for the **** zoomed phone quality pic.

Firstly i found it ironic, then i wasn't sure if it was some sort of double irony sarcasm kind of thing and the mind **** was actually on me.

the sticker says "DRIVE A BMW?!, I'd rather push my Mini" :rolleyes:

Walking past an underground carpark last night, on our way to another pub and look in to see (3) Ferrari's!
458, 599 GTO and some old single seater racing machine!!!! (not a clue what is it, not really too interested in it either, although it was in pristine condition and could be worth millions for all i know about old cars!!!)

The 458 & 599 GTO were spotless, i couldnt believe it, that it took about ten minutes for someone working there to come over to us and he didnt even really say much, wasnt bothered with a couple of drunk lads taking snaps and wondering in and around the cars. The 599 is unbelievable in the flesh.

apologies that i cant upload them the normal way but anway better than nothing.............

A few treats from the C&C in Galway today.


Mazda RX-7 engine bay




Supercharged Mazda RX-3. What a treat. Proper old-skool jap.



Just a 6.6l small-block with around 300 horsies

Marlow

Oh. And some sound bits of the supercharged RX-3.

Has to be '05 if it was a real one. There is no such thing as '04 E60 M5's. E39 M5 production stopped in '03 and a few were registered late in '04. No new M5's then before some time in '05.

Great spot. Although the single seater is most definitely not original. Not sure what it is.

Its in the canal along side the river. I've seen it before but you can only see it if the water is low and the tree's etc have receded in winter.

Yea the puma sticker really threw me off, I was all about the other two, the GTO had such a presence, two beautiful machines.

The 03 one with a full M5 kit? 6900 or thereabouts?

ValerieR

I just couldn't believe it ... of course, no disabled tag on the windscreen ... it was a lady in her 60s who looked as fit as I am ... I gave her dirty looks but she looked back at me like she didn't understand what I meant ....

I've seen that bad boy at shows a couple of times and I think it's turned up at C&C in Cherrywood.

Awesome machine.
