He needs to be burnt at the stake for that abortion. Not the colour but the whole over the topness of it. Reeks of chav!

Subtle? Now that's pink! :shock:

...just noticed: the bottom photo is reversed - the filler cap is on the wrong side.

I think i've just thrown up in my mouth! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

If there is anything I like about that is the side skirts - I have been looking for some, are they bomex? If anyone knows where I can get a set, please tell me

My 11-year old daughter would love this car.

That's as much as I want to say on the subject :)

In fairness, you can see the amount of work that has gone into it and that has to be admired (a bit). All it needs is Tim Westwood banging on about how it was 'totally busted' and it is pimped.

Best part is the pink crocs sitting at the door.

:shock: :lol: More ruined MR2s!!! :(

Wow, I think we've been here before! Each to their own I suppose. Whatever floats your boat and all that. The pink one: what a massive amount of work and effort gone into making sure no-one in their right mind would ever buy that car again! :oldtongue:

That last one looks almost 'Back To The Future' with all that crap on the back! I think even Timmy Westwood would think these are over the top!

Disclaimer: This is merely my opinion and NOT an insult to anyones taste :D :oldtongue:

If it weren't for the stupid wing doors and spoiler I'd have the pink one. :mrgreen: I especially like the furry lining on the bottom of the rollcage...
(Yes they are Erebuni side skirts, I've got them!).

That bottom one though...words fail me. What's all that crap stuck to it?

Yes, definitely looks like a flux capacitor on the back. Apparently the photo was taken in 1955 and surfaced only recently. It seems Doc Brown got fed up with poor build quality, doors than wouldn't close properly, an under-powered engine and having to wipe his car down with Silvo every time someone touched it with greasy fingers and traded it for an MR2 SC. Wise choice.

Aha, we both listen to the voices: they just say different things. :lol:
