I dont know whats worse

1. An MR2 pretending to be a Ferrari
2. Taking a Pic of an MR2 pretending to be a Ferrari
3. Someone actually buying/making an MR2 into a wannabe Ferrari
4 Someone actually owning up to owning/driving this

:lol:

I did insert an emoji crying with laughter after it but came out gobbledegook hence my reason for posting.

What does it do besides provide drag?

I can understand the scoops that help air go into the engine or the cabin (rally cars are not known for comforts) but a random scoop like that must surely just cause drag?
I am going to live forever, or die trying!

He was bouncing around to his music far too vigorously to car about drag lol.

I went to a classic car show in the Malverns on Sunday and there was a red one there, bloody awful, a few people were fooled too. :^o

Spot on, I have driven a fair few Fezzas, but nothing that up to date. And I can honestly say I truly wouldn't thank you for one unless I could sell it instantly and buy something like an r32 onwards skyline or an EVO 5-6.

That said, my wee MR2 is more reliable, just as much fun, handles brilliantly, (in the dry), looks great, is fecking quick and costs nothing compared to say a 355 to keep on the road.

I do not care to be honest. I am not a big fan of Ferrari, therefore I would not even have paid attention if I were in your place. And I do not see many of these cars on the streets in my area, you have to search well to spot at least one. But there are different amateurs who want to turn their cars into some posh things. But it is up to them, not my business.
