Madman Of The People Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Old Geezer Cadillac Fleetwood with horrible aftermarket grille and bonnet mascot. .. American Barryboy in his BMW 325i. The sill extensions were flapping in the wind as he was going down the road! Dodge Stratus + horrible wheels + unenlightened attitude towards women = First Class Shite! BTW, the car is NOT even lowered! .. 1994-95 Honda Accord Coupe gleaming in dull grey primer. .... This monstrosity was once a Nissan 350Z. I think. ........ And now for something good. Here's a rare sight in America, a Peugeot 405 Mi16. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madman Of The People Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 You want one of these and you can really scare the shite out of people.... Local cops here in Nashville run Chevrolet Impalas, although the State police use Ford Crown Vics. The local cops are a far more common sight. If you want to scare people round here, you need one of these..... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Wow. That Peugeot is ace spotting! Not sure what to say about the bright yellow monstrosity. I'm still struggling to compute its hideousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Habit Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 You want one of these and you can really scare the shite out of people.... I got stopped more times driving that Crown Vic by the "real" Police than at any other time in forty years of driving Well it's just not the sort of thing you expect to see coming around the corner in England, is it?That 97 Crown Vic was a nicer car than the 2003 CV I have now, apart from the steering.

Madman Of The People Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 The bad news: The Rozzers are coming for you! The good news: They're driving a 1959 Edsel Ranger so they'll probably never catch you! .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingJesus Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'd be grinning like that too, if I were driving the Stude! Is the Edsel abandoned, or merely parked up as some sort of display? The exterior shots look quite tidy for its' age, and yet the torn headlining in the last pic would suggest it hasn't been that well cared for after all.

oman5 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'm loving that Edsel. One of those in on my lottery wish list...but a convertible like in the Saga ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 ^^Me too! My love of a black-and-white is pretty well known, I think; ditto my love of fins and chrome. The combination is just too enticing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Shepherd Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I wonder if that Edsel was a real police car? It looks basic enough inside, even though Edsel never offered an official police package on any of its cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman Of The People Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Damn slow camera! This orange Lambo was on the move. Okay, it's not shite but it's still cool. As was this vintage Beetle, also too quick for my camera. 1982-85 Buick Riviera Cabrio in slightly dilapidated condition. Those aren't wire wheels, BTW. They're wire wheelcovers! They're original to the car and were quite popular on Yank Tanks of this era. Early 80s vintage Volvo 240 Estate. Note round sealed-beam US-spec headlamps. . Oldsmobile Cutlass cabrio. I don't like the wheels on this car. . Jaguar XJ-S in the rain. Some people think they're shite but I like 'em! Awful Hyundai Coupe. Evidently, a girl owns this shite pink 'n black Nissan Maxima. .

Madman Of The People Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Toyota Camry with very inappropriate-looking vinyl roof. I''m surprised the owner didn't go all the way and get wire-wheel hubcaps and whitewalls, too! Barbie's Beetle, by Mattelâ„¢ 1957 Chevy. Corvette Stingray. Notice how the Madman Volvo casts a very square shadow? Lucky bastard with a new Maserati. Not shite but very, very cool. 1929 Ford Model A Hot-Rod. ... 1981-84 US-built Volkswagen Rabbit (AKA Golf MK I). You don't see very many of these anymore. .. Chevrolet Chevy II Nova. A Chevrolet Chevette that still runs? Alert the media!!! Volkswagen T2 Pickup. Honda Civic "Ricer" shite. I heard this car several minutes before I saw it! And a rare over-the-shoulder shot through the rear window of the front of this monstrosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Falcon and Valiant are lovely. Was the redneck actually driving that Mazda pick up like that ? I suspect it's on air, and was 'laying frame.' Or he's a fat wigga bastard and the chassis of the truck is permanently twisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 1957 Chevy. Now that's more like Rat Look. VW boyz take note! (and no apologies for reposting the pic... ) Surely that white Silver Shadow is a 76, not a 79? 79 would surely be a Silver Shadow 2, with the bigger bumpers etc. The number plate points to 76 too. Great to see these though, keep 'em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mechanic working on it claimed it was a '79 but he was probably wrong. English wasn't his first language so there may have been some miscommunication!

Madman Of The People Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Tasty Toyota Land Cruiser. Remember when Toyota made interesting cars? Erm, no. No I don't. Ripping off Land Rover wasn't interesting to me. Just boring, like almost everything of theirs has been and continues to be. They are the Japanese equivalent of Chevrolet except no muscle car heritage or major motorsports heritage, frickin' ho-hum. If Toyota disappeared tomorrow, I wouldn't notice for a couple months, until I would see my sister-in-law, and go, "Hey, where did the stupid box with the white lid go?" True, it is a blatant Land Rover rip-off. But it's still more interesting than anything they make today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 They are the Japanese equivalent of Chevrolet except no muscle car heritage or major motorsports heritage, frickin' ho-hum.Of course, your continent never really "got" rallying, did it?!! Musclecars wouldn't really have been much good at them anyway - and no, I'm not having a dig at them, as the Merc 450 SL of the 70s wasn't the success that was hoped at the time unless it was on endurance events, so something bigger and heavier wouldn't have performed well either. They do turn left ok thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 That's my point precisely - the European branches of those corporations went rallying on the world stage, but the North American arm of each of those didn't. Major manufacturers only go into motorsport to get something back out, so we must assume that the US arms couldn't see that the investment made in rallying throughout the world with their domestic products would return the net worth that their subsidiaries achieved in doing so with their domestic products. So anyway, enlighten us on the FI that Bosch licensed for use. Is this a different system to the one used in aircraft that destroyed most of Clydebank?
