What a muppet!


That sort of thing brings shame to the MR2 world, they should be tortured and then shot.

It was a completely Standard MR2 with a Ferrari badge on Bumper, Bonnet, Wings, Rear light centre pannel, Seats, Steering wheel and ash tray and the owner was basically describing it as a Ferrari Look alike when all it was was a MR2 with badges :mrgreen:

Please dont confuse the stickers/ badges etc with decent high quality coppies they were more ebay. And the seats had really nice covers from MrPound.

Seriousy it was of similar quality to my Bugatti :lol:

Yep that's right.
It's from the Ferrari 355 Championship that I compete in.
Basically you buy yourself an MR2, attach plenty of cheapo stick on badges and there you have it. It's as easy as that!

Apparently he had to withdraw it as Ferrari were threatening to sue over copyright issues.... they still hold the rights to the biggest ass in the world (currently held by the guy who designed their F1 refueling rig).

omg

With V8 Virtual Engine noise


1k on a speaker to make it sound like a V8, would rather spend that on engine mods eg Turbo kit with screamer pipe or put the extra towards it and have a V6 dropped in!!!

Oh you can set the speaker system so it sounds like a F1 car, how many 2's / Ferraris have you herd revving to 19,000rpm? :roll: :roll:

Imagine stopping at some traffic lights but your V8 sound system is lagging behind and still at 5,000 revs or imagine if his V8 speaker starts to crackle / go on and off while driving past a load of people :D he will look like a complete dick :mrgreen:

At least its a better replica than the other one :mrgreen:

Wait a minute?? -

Beautiful Ferrari dashboard


Wheres this? I cant see a Ferrari dash??

"Full service including the dreaded cambelt was done on April 2008 so this will never have to be done again."

I never knew you only had to do a cambelt on a turbo once :-s
