@cran: do we have to go through this regional design preference thing again? as much as a agree with you about the smaller Chryslers , until you have seen the vehicles, until you have driven the vehicles, you aren't really in a position to comment. there is a reason the charger sells well, and there is a reason the 300c sells well, and its definitely not down to Chryslers rep. they must be doing something right.

I have seen them now. They're starting to sell them over here.

Hooray for stags. I do envy your photoshop skillz. Highfaivyo.

 

Reminds me of that V8 conversion someone did with a Ford Focus. Quite awesome.

And a VR6 in a Lupo

And a VR6 in a Lupo

That's got to be brutal.

[JayC]

Very, Especially since its got two vr6s. One under the hood and one in place of the rear seats.

 

Porsche Turbo brakes and rolling on 18s I think.

 

EDIT link Twin engine Lupo

 

 

Plus there is this one driving around England:

I once saw german video-footage of a previous-generation VW Eurovan with ALL 911 parts. MR drivetrain. Suspension, brakes, wheels, 4 BUCKETS. Beautiful. Haven't been able to find the video again, though.

Yeah I remember that video, wasn't it involved in a Gumball Rally or something?

No, the one that was involved in the G3000 was an original Campervan. Red and white. Hold while I go dig up a picture. This is the Eurovan I'm talking about.

 

EDIT -

TEAM 80 - SAMBA (UK).

Winners of the Gumball Bling Award. Has a Porsche engine and suspension.

 

EDIT 2 -

FOUND THE VIDEO! And all I had to search for was "Porsche Eurovan". Lol.

Jaguar XF

 

Anybody else think it looks like a lexas with some weird headlights than a jaguar?

 

Seriously, what's with the headlights? Imo, the fully round one was a silly idea, it makes the car look like it's on crack or something... I want my sleek and sexy cxf back

 

Failing that, a rapide'll do just fine

 

Anyone else see that TATA is meant to be putting in a bid for Jaguar and Land Rover?

I came across this urban legend in general chat about spiders in the cactus. opened wikipedia, snopes and was re-reading some of the stories i found interesting. It made me think of something i stumbled accross few days ago on automotive forums, and which appears to be a brand new urban legend, generated only few weeks ago (i hope i'm right).

 

Fresh delivered to you by your lovely led-by.

 

COKE FOUND IN A FERRARI

 

Main core of the story goes like this:

 

So my friend bought another Ferrari 575 picked it up from Lambo of H-Town and came by my place just now. I was looking over it and then I pulled a panel behind the driver seat and found a little suprise!!

 

And pictures are:

 

 

 

 

 

Alternative versions can be found on different boards/blogs:

 

Digg.com

 

Dieselstation

 

NASIOC forums apparently the original hoax starter. 30th of august.

 

FERRARICHAT

 

 

voilà

[stretch.]

I vote that his friend is a coke dealer.

 

Easiest way to earn the money to buy that car I think.

 

Was anyone else by anychance thinking of the old classics with cans of coke and sandwich wrappers in the doors and stuff?

[swolo yaggins]

I think the coke story is a pile of bullsh*t. Cars are inspected from top-to-bottom, especially on second-hand cars, and it's impossible that a bag that big would be left-behind.

of course it's a hoax. I'm pointing out that since the beginning. ... it's a dry bag.

COKE FOUND IN A FERRARI

 

 

 

 

Bahaha, reminds me of my friend. He bought a car off this guy up in Vermont real cheap, because the guy was going to jail. My friend didn't know what it was for, so he just took 'em. A few months later, he was doing some work on the dash and found a little bag of crack. Turns out the guy was a drug lord.

A friend of a friend bought one of those surplus police cars and under the passenger seat cushion he found a big zip-loc of weed.

 

 

...supposedly

[XN22]

It could of been fake, seeing as how cops use that sh*t for stings. Highly unlikely though.

 

What my friend found wasn't much, a little dime bag. At least that's all I saw, I left shortly after he flushed it.

[SIP YEK NOD]

the magic bus!

 

 

 

14 lbs of nasty-ass old weed.

[XN22]

I remember hearing about that, wasn't it all moldy so you couldn't even smoke it?

not moldy, just dry as f*ck and completely useless.

[Mega]

In Moscow it does actually slide

 

 

[AZAZEL]

Poor R8. Expensive chainsaw.

 

Got passed by one the other day, quite a nice car, but I don't like the rear much. That little row of LEDs they placed under the headlights look neat.

[Mega]

I'm sorry for spamming this forum again with sh*t but THIS is really good.

Haha, funny. Yet a little disturbing.

Won't duplicate threads

 

RIP COLIN.

[XN22]

That "Auto ads with men" sh*t was pretty funny.

 

RIP Colin.

[swolo yaggins]

Is there any confirmation that McRae is dead?

[Mega]

yes
