Cars you didn't know existed until very recently.

Great looking things, but why is the green one being driven round a track by a Lego man? -

Farcebook sent me another one: -

Is this a previously unknown member of the McGann acting dynasty? -

This just popped up on my farcebook feed: -
What car did you *just* miss out on owning, and you wish you didn't?
SteersWithThrottle replied to OM646's topic in AutoShite
Bloody hell, you might have won the thread there, for me. One of my dream cars. My miss was a Z33 Gran Turismo 4 special edition in black, for 5 bags. I passed because I really wanted the Alezan leather (this had black). Then covid happened and the finances went out the window... -
I beg to differ.

Wonder if there's ever been copyright issues with that name... -
F*&@#$% diseasel EGR valves!!! 🤬

It's one of those low (relatively) cost, high liability jobbies, especially if it has the early cambiocorsa gearbox. Strange things to see on an MOT advisory though, I wonder what happened to the mounts? Rotted away? Broken unobtainium plastic parts?

Norwegian tat (cars for sale in Norway)

The shame of buying an 8krpm aftermarket rev counter, then having to set the shift marker to 4krpm... 🤣 -
Looks more Tom Walkinshaw Racing inspired to me, in that you'll look a right Twat When you Ride around in it.
-
Looks more like an RS500 wing than an Escort one to me? Definitely doesn't work though... I wonder if it was part of the bodykit? The rest of it is a decent copy of the Tickford one.

Interesting use of a fuel pump gasket as a dash ornament... -
Kadett B maybe? The slope of the wings is about the best clue to go on.

Ferarri 400/412i. Noice!
-
And because it's an HLS it has the rather hilarious inclusion of a rev counter

Yep yep, not a Twizzy, had to google to remind myself what they are. The thing I've been seeing driving around here that I thought was one, isn't, obviously. It isn't a carver either, it has two wheels at the front, and is open at the sides. That Twizzy at least looks like it has less of a side profile to get caught by the wind.
-
Doesn't that horrid Twizzy thing lean into corners at least? I'd imagine this is more like a less stable version of a Reliant 3-wheeler
-
Fuck my old boots, what happens if you want to go round a corner at more than 1mph? It looks like it'd fall over in a stiff breeze, I bet overtaking an artic on the motorway is a bigger adrenaline rush than a fast jet doing an NOE run through a city centre

Who knew that the CIA had a car named after them (or at least their headquarters)! 😲 -

Missed that on my first look, good catch! I think it's just a trick of the light, makes it look more pronounced than it is. Here are some other pics of '61 C1's I think it's probably fair to say the C2 body design was an evolution of this, at least at the back end. -

Yes, and the pre-facelift 4th gen "catfish" Camaro shows it's design lineage to the 3rd gen quite well, imo. I do agree the door mirrors are clumsy though

I quite liked the pre-facelift version https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5128031710657247/?ref=category_feed&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ab748a7d4-4fa5-49ae-b322-4a2c9dd65108
