My first SFS guys, be gentle..

I was on my way to work last week, mining my own business, when I saw this car in a petrol station just around the corner from the office. I almost crashed into the pumps as I drove in because of it. As I was inside the guy tried to leave and the god-awful sound it was making got the attention of the whole forecourt, not to mention the smoke coming from under the bonnett!! :shock:

So I followed it as it limped to a nearby industrial estate (leaving an oil-trail) to arrive HERE!!! Image
I sat in the car giggling for a few minutes and while he went into the office I took the opportunity to get these SFS pics and chat to the nice engineers at VOSA. They couldn't believe this had been brought for it's roadworthyness inspection. :wa: :wa: :rofl: :rofl:
Flush boot....nice
Image
Bonnet bulge....check
Image
Intercooler......oh yes
Image
Super slick bodykit.......pfft
Image
Custom paint job
Image
Bespoke interior
Image
Wide flared arches
Image
Panel alignment by a blind cunt!
Image
Mean rear mirror warrior
Image
Side exit exhaust
Image
:shock: :shock:
It seems the whole of the VOSA garage came out to see this and they were all laughing. The main tester didn't want to be in a picture with it.... Apparently it has a Cosworth engine but that doesn't help when there's brake fluid leaking everywhere and the prop is grinding against the chassis.

It was seriously so bad that they slapped a prohibition order on it and told him it could only leave on a trailer :rofl: :wa: :rofl: :shed: :shed:

What craftsmanship on the errr, bonnet thing and the wings. You hardly notice the panel gaps either. Can this be nominated for SOTW even though it's not technically barry? It is an epic shed after all.

Find a make and model, and I'll think about it.

To be fair, the driver/creator didn't look like the thinking type.....

I know that I couldn't build a car. Obviously this chap does not have the same level of self awareness.

It's that blocky and choppy, it looks like a model on Need For Speed 2 that's hit the wall a few times.

That is fucking fantastic.

As the op said in the Famine Q&A thread, it's not technically a road going/manufactured car, just a badly made kit car of some kind.

But, oh fuck is it good. I have never seen anything as shonky as that.

Great little story to accompany it too. I love the way that he probably drove and spluttered all the way, just to have to trailer it out of there.

Shames, chances of that happening are slim to none.

Gentle? Fuck off. You can have a good, hard POTW-nomination up the shitter for this.

Well spotted.
