Couple of crakers there. I did enjoy the "moved house with me twice". I'm sure the neighbours would have been delighted to see that thing taking pride of place next door to them.

You can bet it would be in the garden not the garage as well.

Shrek would drive a car like that

[TurboTomato]

I've said this before on other cars but this pales into insignificance compared to this one - who the fcuk sits down after penning that and thinks 'fcuk me, that's perfect. I'm a genuis'

It's been a while...

Better quality that most Porsches, apparently.

Wow what a great interior, I agree, its much better than any porsche, ever!

Not a kit car, but a lovely example of a classic for only 23 pounds

"would make an ideal summer project"

In the best colour as well - beige

You've trumped everything with that one. Paying cold, hard cash for the rotten remains of a Dutton Cobblers, dragging it home and then launching into an ambitious project to let it rot in your garden until your wife threatens to divorce you makes complete sense when compared with the summer project of restoring a car which dead people think is "a little bit old" for them.

Well come on Jim you've got to remember:

THE PORSCHE 911 IS A VEHICLE SO REFINED, ONLY THE ELITE DRIVE THEM. FILM STARS, ROCK STARS, ICONS, EVEN HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTERS SUCH AS BAD BOYS (WILL SMITH) PLACE THE 911 AT THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION.

And

THE QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP IS SO SPECTACULAR THAT I ACTUALLY CHOSE THIS REPLICA OVER SOME GENUINE PORSCHE'S!

That wiring just reeks of quality

[JimH]

Genuine Porsches you may be offered which may cause you to consider taking the Covin instead: - One that has been on fire - One that is currently on fire - One that is on fire with a large, aggressive man standing next to it screaming that he his going to kill you. - One with a radio jammed on Radio One - One which has a CD player which can play nothing but Coldplay As an aside, you will note that the steering column has come out of a Mini. Spectacular build quality indeed.

This guy has got to be on the wind up...

THE 1600 TWIN CARB FLAT FOUR IS ESSENTIALLY NEW HAVING BEEN FULLY REBUILT AND MODIFIED FOR PERFORMANCE INCLUDING HIGH LIFT CAMS AND INCREASED COMPRESSION, ALSO THE MODIFIED COOLING SYSTEM AND CUSTOM EXHAUST BOTH  HELP IN RECREATING THE ORIGINAL SOUND OF THE FLAT SIX'S MEATY GROWL...

That is just soooo fcuking funny

ORIGINAL 911 TURBO'S ARE FETCHING WELL IN EXCESS OF £10,000+ AND THEY ARE NO WHERE NEAR THIS CONDITION!

What do you think he's trying to say?

[mainline]

Stuff the 911, I'll take the GT40 please...

Click

Brand new wheels and tyres and everything.

I love the bit where he makes it clear that the photo at the end isn't the same as the previous four and asks you to 'use your imagination'.

[JimH]

Let's have a few more:

Thinking about buying an unfinished Nova kit? Don't do it. This is what they look like when they are finished. (Fantastic example of Kit Kar Dashboard here)

Ace photos, ace car.

I know it's another Banham. This one looks more pathetic than most, left lying out in the snow.

Austin Metro L Red Converted. I'll say it is.

Why are cars like this always described as "great for summer fun"?

The car is neither here nor there but I did enjoy the comment about the sound of the V6 engine.

Save the best for last.
