Spotted: Sheds

Is that why they’ve got skinny tyres, anything if any decent girth and it wouldn’t have the power to override the friction.

 

Having owned one of these they are actually great fun little cars, not a great deal of power but they weigh fuck all so good fun in a go-kart kind of way. Probably totally ruined by all the plastic this guy has bolted to it and changing the rim sizes ruins the handling but each to their own.

 

and @Ackers

What is it? MR2? VVX (not sure if that's the correct name)?

 

Its an mr2 roadster, the wide body kit requires bigger wheels to fill the arches and ruins the handling, OE they have 16” rears and 15” fronts, bigger, wider front rims messes up the handling

 

I kind of get that look on an old car, but on something modern it just looks tatty.

 

Saw this outside my local chippy the other night.

I can’t work out if those are scenes from Cecil B De Mille’s biblical epic Samson and Delilah or one of the Rocky films. Either way, rarely does a work of human endeavour, conceived in love and crafted through diligence, deserve the universal respect of the ages. Who amongst us can name a work of art loved by all, at all times? Yet the originator of that piece has reached out with their hand and brushed at the face of God….

 

The chippy is a very worthy backdrop to such a fine example of dedication

 

What a banger

 

Cheers, the cars lovely too don’t you think?

 

Ain't it just.

 

Saw this at the weekend, bloody awful thing

 

I know what you mean traffic lights on a roundabout ffs, one or the other not both proper brings my piss to the boil. Calling them roundabouts is one of the other, where’s Dougle, Dillon Zeberdee and the rest of the roundabout crew………

That is obviously dash cam footage right Mr Cookie?

 

Thank god dash cams or digital cameras werent around to record some of the shit heap scoots held together with string (not joking) that I'd ridden back in the day.

 

Yep. I once spent a summer in the 90s removing the paint from a Datsun 280zx in order to save on prep time (and therefore money), for when I had it resprayed. It bears mentioning that I didn’t have a garage, so this all took place on the road outside my flat in a fairly posh area of London (Muswell Hill) AND that I drove the car for the entire period of time, when some of the bodywork was bare metal, like a DeLorean, and the rest of it looked as if it had been attacked by moths. To add to the aesthetic effect, 3 wheels out of 4 didn’t match either.

For some reason, I was continually being stopped by the police. Oh, the folly of youth

 

The number plate almost spells “MINT”, which is kind of ironic. It would be ideal for someone who owns a 748 in vgc though.

 

If I’m not mistaken that’s a TR7?

 

Nope, it’s definitely an F40
