Matt he said no boring or shit cars, you then post a triumph aclaim :lol:

To be fair 'boring' is subjective and they are rare enough, only around 290 left in the country.

Having owned two of them I can tell you 100% that in this case boring is not subjective, and they are very shit

no cars at shows guys, it misses the point- these beauties have got to be on there own really in places you dont expect to see them!

My M8s Shelby Mustang, Running 750bhp. 120mph in 3rd gear and the rear wheel still spinning up. :p

Enjoy

This was our taxi from a staff party, road legal and the lot. :nod:

Not sure on what it is but in the snow it was going flat out on our country lanes and never even flinched a corner. Was friggin cold in the back though. :lol:

It's a Reynoulds Broughton. Basically R-B took a Dodge 50 5 tonne van, jacked it up, gave it 4wd and made it fit for our boys. I keep thinking about buying one....

Here is a picture of my old Fiesta parked next to an original Audi Quattro at the Trafford Centre, dunno how rare these are but am guessing fairly.

That's not a quattro, that's a GT Coupe. It's two wheel drive, with a Golf GTI 8v engine (mounted longitudinally) - not rare in terms of production volumes, but yes I doubt many are left.

Dammit! One night a month or two ago I was in Asda in my Mark2, and it was like an 80s revival going off. I parked next to a Mark2 Fiesta, which in turn was parked across from a Mark2 Escort 3 door estate. Typically I didnt think to take a picture.

Unless its a Coupe Quattro? The 4 wheel drive from its more expensive brother, but with the N/A engines, most commonly the 2.2 5 pot.

Not many of either left, seen as GTs and other lesser Coupe's often go on to supply the Quattros with parts, and the boot floors and windscreen frame have a nasty habbit of rotting.

EDIT: Just clocked the 'GT' badge. I need to alter the contrast on this monitor!

The golf GTI :)

I'm not actually sure on the lancia, as in why it has the spoiler and what not maybe just a body kit or something rare?

its a lancia intregrale the hf? the spoiler what they used on their rally versions, dont know if they came standard too tho

Gearboxes and rear axles are nigh on impossible to find. Had 2 in for service ALOT at my old place. Bits were a bitch to find, Rear axle was imported from the congo in the end :lol:

You ain't looking in the right places my friend, Witham SV have got loads of trucks and parts in at the minute.

Okay, so it's a neighbour's car and nothing unusual to me, modern, but it's not at a show..

Me getting into my GT40, i know your own car doesn't count but..

The Escort really was mine, not everyday you see an early Montego HL though. Admittedly i took this picture in 1992..

Okay so it's my cousin's car which he restored, but it's in a pub car park..

This was also randomly in a pub car park, took it about two years ago..

Okay, so it was outside a RR unit, but still, always a nice surprise to see a great MK1 Tina..

As you can see, i have nothing to contribute but barrel scrapings so i'll shut it now.

Geniune 22b... supposedly less than 10 in the UK now, this was certainly the first i'd ever seen on the road

Sure I've seen that too, never paid it that much attention though, thats whats cool about them imo.

Probably is that one, cant imagine there being more than 1 in Derby! I know man, so understated; I'm a bit of a Subaru nut so I spotted the wide arches a mile off, but to someone that's not in the know it just looks like a standard Impreza 8-)

heres a few that come to work..
