Why oh why!?!?!

[Benplym]

Aw this from a distance and got excited....... Then it got closer...... And closer, oh my, what is it

Not one panel met, it sounded like a tractor with a hole in the manifold, the badges were all wonky, and the wheels where about 16".

How do people drive these "replicas", it was funny at first then started to really bug me for some reason seeing how smug he was driving it as if it was a 65.

Bad pics but you'l get the jist

Funny, I saw a black one near MK today... Made me laugh!

I'm pretty sure that orange SL is a member on here...


Wheels look huge, not 16'?

Whatever floats his boat. It's not my cup of tea but if he likes it and enjoys what attention it brings him then fair play. It's not doing me any harm!

More concerning is taking a photo whilst driving!

It's possible, as long as you balance your bowl of cereal on one knee and finish typing your text before you switch it to camera.

It's pretty horrid, I exaggerated, the wheels aren't 16", but just look ridiculously small on the arch. If it was a like for like then crack on, fair play but it resembled a child taking a perfectly fine 1.6 ford escort back in the day and spraying it like his favourite lambo colour and sticking a cosworth wing on it. Rats. I've seen some real real smart "reps" for sale and on forums but this made me urge

Unless you have two phones, of course...

....While smoking a fag and trying not to burn your a pillar trim at the same time, not to mention that modern electric shavers are great 'on the move' (they really do save time in the morning).

It can be tricky though, thank goodness they invented automatics to overcome these eveyday inconveniences.

That's the one, I saw him approaching wrigley's roundabout, down the straight then had the pleasure of being stuck behind it up to Crownhill

That's just an elitist extravagance.

Two phones? Not sure. But with the Mini-iPad also on the lap, yes...
