Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

[Darrell]

I was behind this for a while in Brighton this morning makes a lovely noise

Outside Harrods today trying to ignore Omar and Amir seeing who could rev their gold tin foil wrapped Lambos the loudest I spotted this and thought "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" and here's Mr Shadows car...

Not this one...

As the kids say “this will blow up the Internet”. I’ve seen it online several times in the last few days with all sorts of comments like it’s “not real, it’s AI generated”.

I rather like it. I have always liked the Ponton style and thought it would look good as a restomod. I personally would lose the “black everything” look.

Perhaps a period colour paint and some chrome, and clearly but subtly enhanced visually would be perfect (for me). Clever stuff whoever did the conversion though, it looks and sounds great.

I quite like it too. When you say it sounds great, I'm assuming there's a V8 of some sort under the bonnet, judging by the exhausts and the two raised, riveted panels on the bonnet.

M156 6.2 litre V8 I’d say

The Ponton styling is a favourite of mine, and the idea of making it ‘different’ has certainly been accomplished.
Have to say I like it.

Not cars, but 2 bike and sidecar combos at The White Horse Bilsington lunchtime today. Not often you see machinery carrying (fake no doubt, but realistic) stick grenades and heavy machine guns!!

Used to call them urinals.

Unfortunately I couldn’t get a photo as I was driving and my Wife was asleep! But coming back from Suffolk today next to each other on the motorway was an immaculate, black SL600 and a racing hovercraft (latter on a trailer as you’d expect). The rear suspension on the SL did look a little low, but lovely none the less.

Not your average Screwfix customer I suspect . . . .

It hardly fits in the parking bay.
Maybe the owner has popped into screwfix to buy some cladding & no-nails , to try to disguise that hideous monstrosity ?

Eye of the beholder and all that, it looks pretty good to these tired old eyes.

Could be worse....could be a Cullinan!

I like it too. In a similar vein, I saw a Roller in the carpark at Lidl the other day.

I don't know about that.
Given the eye-watering quotes we've been given to have a bathroom refurb, it could probably be any number of plumbers dropping in for a sink trap and a couple of TRVs

Even Rolls-Royce owners need to buy engine hoists, TIG welding robots and circus tents from somewhere, and Lidl - with their middle aisle - is the UK’s largest purveyor of such specialist goods.

Is that a giant swarm of bees, a flock of migrating birds, the initial updraught from a tactical warhead just ahead of you on the M23 captured just as it starts to mushroom, or the mother of all stone chips?

Is that a flak burst or do you need Autoglass to look at your windscreen?

Edit: Mr D beat me to it

Of course, silly me. Mind you, I'd like to see a Lidl engine hoist attempt to lift the engine out of a RR!
