Loads of cracking stuff there. But I'm going to address the elephant in the room. The fr€$h&m1nt¥ Cactus looks freakin awesome. Well played sir. I always wanted to lower and massive rim my 61 plate Grand Picasso, but SWMBO wouldn't let me. 😃

It may have a slightly bulbous rear end but an elephant it is not!

I believe I can step in to help here. Nice pickup! Thanks for that. I especially like the colour. In the wheel pic it looked like some car in Audi nimbus grey. But now as whole it seems to be darker.

Part Two of my potato cam shots Haven't seen one of these for a long while Renault 4 Looking at the back something triggered my spidey senses Yes that would be it (complete with the backing film - weird!!!) Well in that case I think I'd better do a few other ringmeisters Batmobile E30 M3 Have another with race livery - the 80's font on the plate makes my eyes go weird now I still have a real itch to scratch when it comes to TVR's This one was a bit incontinent (I didn't do a scratch & sniff test) Have a lovely old TVR which didn't have leak issues Moving back to a German flavour - lets have a M1 Of course I needed to pair it up with a 1M (was talking to a guy near it and said I just don't understand why the M2 hasn't weakened prices - he said I know it's why I bought an M2 because the 1M was out of reach) "All Agro" in lovely order - It's hip to be square (or quadratic) And it's predecessor an Austin 1300 with a round steering wheel Now for something completely different "swallows and ............" The green one in the middle is owned by my old boss from years gone back - he's had more Amazons than I've had Senators.... Loved the plate on this - shame it was badged as a Honda I always thought Gulf painted cars looked great - trouble with these three was they were all different shades - none of them matched the oil drums either I'll finish off with a shortie

The yellow fake Ferrari is a kit based on a BMW Z3. It's meant to be a 250GT SWB - I think there is a coupe version too (the real thing was coupe only), as well as a Ferris Beuller shape 250 spyder kit. Thank you - I figured it was based on something but it's not as easy to spot as a Ferota or Toyarri

Now for something completely different "swallows and ............" The green one in the middle is owned by my old boss from years gone back - he's had more Amazons than I've had Senators.... So, that's triple figures then?
Interesting that all are F reg (Aug '67 to July '68) - same as my one (Sept '67 reg, but built prior to the factory summer shutdown, after which they where various minor changes). However the green one has the wheels from a much earlier Amazon - looks very strange combined with the final version grilles! Also the lowered one on Torq Thrusts is often at my local Volvo OC meet. He has a very customised estate too, which I'm looking forward to seeing at some point.
I really must fix mine....

- he's had more Amazons than I've had Senators.... I'd rather have an amazon than a senator (I'll get my coat)

- he's had more Amazons than I've had Senators.... I'd rather have an amazon than a senator Good because there aren't enough Senators to go round and there appears to be plenty of Amazons Please do Right (Said Fred) Part Three Tonight's flavour is slight biased towards European offerings First an Italian dump One of these Fulvias lived on my driveway for a few years - nice little car with a daft narrow angle V4 but I still like them The one that was my lodgers project was more like this Long been a fan of this one it's been to a few RR events (owner is in his 70's but not afraid to push it hard) Have one a little less Modified Moving to a more Bavarian hammer theme I can't make I my mind on these are they different and striking and a bold move or is clown shoe justified A lovely looking M5(35) Moving on to much later 6 with some dish and a dash of VIP Considerable Dish Are they really a girls car Beetle in a posh frock with narrowed front and a couple of coils missing How about a French Fancy Oh la la la la switchgear Just look at those seats (would look glorious in a house on the hill) The curved rear screen from above linked me neatly to another Citroen Oh the screen (objects may appear etc) Lastly back to blighty for a car that always makes me smile - it is for me the happiest looking car in the world
