This is exceedingly cool.



Purple People Eater copy by somebody who doesn't get the origins of it. Quite cool in it's own way though but needs paint.

Finns only have cars for shows like these, and indoor racing circuits.
We use snowmobiles for day-to-day transportation.

Another thread of win from Mr.Bognor!


That Carina is insane. At first I thought it was a 'found' old race car, but after looking at the photo a bit longer I'm wondering if the mods have been carried out on a barn find and the guy simply didn't find the need to add 'wash it' to his list of jobs. Either way, I love it.

[rmad]

(I think that one is from last year's show...but I thought you guys might still like to see it)










Carina in background...is it just me or is it lacking wheels?

[qwerty]

That looks like an epic show! I love the variety of different styles and scenes.

[stealthstylz]

There are definitley no wheels on the Carina. I also agree that though the paintwork/dirt makes it look like an old race car thats been found, certain bits look a bit new (the diffuser for one). Would love to see more info about it.

The stretched Caddy looks bonkers.

[welder]

Some very nice stuff there.

[Mystery Machine]

Simply stunning the range/diversity and quality of what's on show there. Amazing cars from all sectors of the car world and I love it all!

After some careful consideration and deliberation and browsing through the pics again a few times, I must go back to my initial 'gut reaction' choice of the car I'd most like to have back here with me:



Unfortunately, it's 1,600 miles door to door which kinda scuppers my plans of popping over with a car load of us next year. I'll certainly be looking into flights though because this really looks like a show not to be missed!

Thank you.

this

[markbognor]

I agree with you on that Dave, In fact I'm going to give it it's own thread.

Automatic, the big gallery link I posted in the OP has pics of the woody, not sure about the t.

Anyone know what's going on here? Shiny spoiler, modern looking diffuser and all that algae/moss and retro livery, etc?? Work in progress maybe?
