Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

<div class="bbWrapper">Think I saw a Shelby GT500 Super Snake (something like that)<br /> A bit of a space ship - wide body, air suspension resting on the ground, upward opening drivers door and soooo very loud.<br /> A far cry from the 1960s original.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">.....like this?<br /> <br /> Shelby Super Snake.......which coincidently is my wifes nickname for me!!!! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😄" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f604.png" title="Grinning face with smiling eyes :smile:" data-shortname=":smile:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/attachments/1738600165754-png.167466/" target="_blank"><img src="https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/data/attachments/141/141073-b9722b2eb5d462325363c48b24685144.jpg?hash=o9TzBSMC8F" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1738600165754.png" title="1738600165754.png" width="711" height="400" loading="lazy" /></a></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">But with even more expensive bling parts</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The drivers door opened like a Lamborghini Countach scissor door. The passenger door looked to open normal style.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Yeah....there are several aftermarket scissor door kits for them......one of my young neighbours (now moved away thankfully) had scissor door conversion on his Corsa!!!<br /> <br /> <a href="https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/attachments/1738600872905-png.167467/" target="_blank"><img src="https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/data/attachments/141/141074-df62659049819fa803e669f201db1a29.jpg?hash=eoxSJFle4K" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1738600872905.png" title="1738600872905.png" width="564" height="400" loading="lazy" /></a></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Yep that’s it - and what made me think space ship.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I’ve just realised you said ‘on a Corsa’<br /> That is comedy value</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">He was a nice enough lad....reminded me of me at his age.....car modding mad......but his pipe with dual exit (one each side) was straight through with 3 inch tube....no baffles at all!!! It could wake the dead.....which is why I said I was glad when his family moved away!!!</div>
