Some amazing cars above. Love that rear-engined MINI with outboard wheels too...

I'm into Micras at the moment. Considering getting a cheap daily and they're high on the list. 50mpg, good ones from a few hundred quid, cost zilch to run, zilch to insure, not too much to tax, and can be made "interesting" for pennies.

Swore the enginge was in the front :confused:

You could be right actually - I didn't even see the front image, just the back one. And it had a big radiator in the back, so just assumed it was rear-engined. Who knows, it might have two engines...

Front engine with rear mounted radiator. No room in the front for it with the large engine shoe horned in there.
 
The Sexy and Mean thread is for Ferraris. This thread is for cars that are actually cool, especially ones that have been made cool by people who like cars that are actually cool.

Ahhh, 250 series Ferrari's... For me, a Lusso or GT SWB sits right alongside the Muira and E Type as one of the most achingly beautiful cars ever built.

Not for that much tire stretch. In fact I think it's stock height or close to it. Either way the FRS is just such a nice looking car.

True it does look kind of awkward. Looking at it again it would benefit from a 1-1.5 inch drop and some negative camber
 
I totally forgot about that GT300 Trueno... GT2 memories!

BN Sports, Ganadors and a set of Works is all you need.
