Most obscure car you’ve owned?

I also built a 2b! The build videos on vhs were awful!

:lol: The owner Richard was an unusual sort for sure, the videos were hilariously bad and he would frequently get to a tricky bit and say something like ‘when you get to this bit it will be obvious’ which really meant it’s hard so I couldn’t bothered to sort it properly. Mine was an early one with the awful sliding pillar from suspension made from the macpherson strut inserts from the donor Sierra.

With people like Barret/Bickle/Glover on here nothing I've ever owned is going to cut it. So I'll go with the only one I've ever owned that I have never seen another RHD example of;post-17414-0-08231900-1550938298_thumb.jpeg

Identical colour , roof and wheeltrims to this just in RHD.

I bought a seized Commodore saloon and swapped the low back vynil seats for red velour( of course they didn't tilt) I was going to use the alloys too but they were 5 stud and the Rekord only 4. Mrs N ran it for 18 months then my brother crashed it and sold it to a banger racer.

I've not owned anything that could hold a candle to any of the hardcore shiters, but this was somewhat obscure if you think about it.

Audi A4 1.8T quattro Sport. Bit of a mouthful.

 

It had a sports interior, sports suspension, unique 17" wheels that were only used on the 1.8T quattro Sport, white dials (again only used on this exact model).

It had a whopping 180hp to drag its lardy arse around, so it wasn't all that fast, and it was an utter bastard to get parts for.

 

My one was also a mental colour; Java Green. Nobody else on the Audi forums had seen one in that colour.

That is bloody gorgeous. That colour looks great on standard A-series Mantas.
