Rusty Dreams

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

I'll give the guy a tenner for the Miura. I could stretch to maybe £20 for the F40. Sheesh...

:angry: O for gods sake!!!! stuff like this REALLY annoys me!

These are classics! These photos always do my head in! If you cant afford to restore it, at least give some other guy the chance to have a go instead of hogging the rusty pile to yourself!!!

RIP to all those BEAUTIFL Jaguars... :cryhard: :cryhard: :cryhard:

Most of those dusty Ferrari's are actually pictures taken by US Army
personnel.

They were the property of Saddam and/or his family members. When
we rolled in to 'liberate' the country we discovered them stored away.

oh.. and then after they took the photo's the cars were smashed to
pieces by the troops.

I'd say the countach is real but the F40 looks like a fake.
A guy burned past me at a roundabout yesterday( i was in my transit!) in a replica F355, looked quite realistic till you saw the stock MR2 exhaust hanging out the back of it :lol:

I read a shootout between the Mk1 MR2 and a fiero, the fiero has a 2.8 V6 with about 135BHP and the 1.6 4 cyl 130bhp MR2 smoked it! Course the reviewers wouldnt admit that (because they were american),Yankee crap :D
