The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

I bought a brand new one of these back in the day. Very noisy above 120 (mainly induction roar), but plenty of grunt. The digital display looks very dated now

My ex has one locked up and rotting away in storage, along with a V6 Vectra and S13 240SX. I don’t think anyone has even been in there in maybe 7/8 years.

Honestly, she should be ashamed of herself ☹️

We have a winner. Don't think that can be topped.

Useless info alert!

I saw an 05 reg silver BMW E46 emm free last night with dogs dick red leather and CSL wheels. It looked really nice!! It was low but the tyres seemed to have a fatter side wall than usual.. I wish I'd have got a pic!

Just 1 licensed (and 4 others SORN) in the country according to howmanyleft!

This car is local to me, he has a successful car repair business which specialises in older performance cars (MV Turbos).
Some of my friends are regular customers of his (one of which owns the mintestest R33 GTR…..in the world 🤣)

He did a load of repair work on this before heading down to Silverstone for a track day/show.

Small world 😮

Pics that he shared on his FB page…

He races this too, owned it forever…

Imagine coming in to work to see this…

Worth following him as some of the cars he gets in are really interesting.
He shares a lot of the repair work and a decent description of the problems he encounters (problems always overlooked by whatever “specialist” has been at it before him).

A friend of mine owns this R33 Skyline GTR, pics don’t do it justice.
It’s absolutely immaculate inside and out with a service record longer than The Bayeux Tapestry.

It’s been living in the Dundee Transport Museum for spells, for the last couple of years.

Pics…

They are so f**king cool, but they just don't have any power, if that's the later EFI 190bhp, if not 155, criminal from an engine that sounds so nice.

R33 is nice and this decal on the WRX is one of my all time favourites. Sends me back to the old Gran Turismo days.

I still love them! There's a blue one local-ish to me. But I've only seen it a couple of times.

I was watching the Tour de France when it was on the other week, I had to do a double take / rewind it as there was a yellow one parked on the grass (on the wrong side of the road) with two speaker tannoys attached to the roll bar!

Whilst I was taking the pic, the work tart says "why you taking a photo of that old banger for?

 

[Stiamh-JM]

What you taking a picture of that old banger for?
