Wow, at first glance I thought I shot this image before even seeing the license plate was local. I'm sure I've snapped something in that exact spot! Here are 1, 2 of mine that are eerily similar in backdrops and editing.

For the thread:

I wish the KTM were getting more favorable reviews. It doesn't seem to be living up to its looks, which are absolutely dynamite in my eyes:

Not sure I agree with the Camaro nose paint job on the A20 Celica...

Speaking of Celica's. More of the A60 GT-S that Speedjunkie posted above:

Rallying Elise up there: Like a boss.


If that's the car I think it is, then bloody hell :drool:

Let me explain: A while back, I had a Japanese guy's flickr page bookmarked, as he'd bought one of the E90 BMW 320si models, which was the homologation special BMW released in limited numbers to allow it to race the car in the WTCC.

This guy was very slowly and steadily turning it into more and more of a touring car... an interior mod here and there, then a proper Recaro seat, a works BMW WTCC steering wheel, a racing exhaust...

I'd not kept up with it for quite a while but that car above looks suspiciously like the end result of the direction he was heading in. You can tell that one is a road car because it still has the full rear seat in with the headrests... but now it looks like it's got a full works touring car kit on it. So again, bloody hell :drool:

Edit: If it's the same car, then this is what it looked like at one stage. Though the flickr user I found these from doesn't have any pics of it looking like the car above, so it probably is different:


Love touring car replicas.

Ah, thanks for the info, chaps. That looks awesome, though in some ways I'd prefer it to be based on the 320si (with some extra tuning) for originality points. Interior is better on the one I posted too, though still, pretty cool car. Definitely a sucker for touring car reps.
