Pompei's Pixels - WTF!?!

[pompei]

This was in Tesco car park yesterday. I was busy snapping when the old chap turned up. It was originally a Mini Marcos which he has owned and modified* over the last 40 years. Now running a Mondeo 1.6.  Best car in the whole car park

[Asimo]

He should get the OBE for that!

[bramz7]

That is unbelievable. 

 

I bet his house is interesting.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

HOLY SHIT!

[cobblers]

fuck some ducks! That's like something out of a dream 

[pompei]

I've just noticed that's him in pic 3!

It is a bit challenging in the looks department.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Is Jem Marsh still alive? He needs to see this.

[dollywobbler]

Jeepers. First the Cortina, now this. Whatever next?

[For Fiats Sake]

Epic.

 

He needs to ditch the maestro wheel trims for these though:

What cortina?!

[egg]

MOT history isn't bad! Amazing.

[dollywobbler]

Sadly, both Mr Mar and Mr Cos are no longer with us.

[KruJoe]

That is glorious! How did we not know about this before?

I hope you gave him an Autoshite sticker and told him where to come and sell it if he ever gives up driving!

[Ghosty]

Not Maestro, but fake BMW E30/34. They used to  be everywhere in the mid-2000s, much like how those fake Vectra C trims are everywhere now.

[AMC Rebel]

It is a bit challenging in the looks department.

Still far less ugly than current model Mini Countryman.

[Split_Pin]

Looks like the only original part is the rear panel!

[Pillock]

I've had a couple of Pillock Measure G&Ts, I'm going to have to bookmark this thread and come back to it in the morning as it might be like that time I drank too much and was convinced I'd bought some new trainers from Amazon and got really upset that they didn't arrive but it turns out I never bought them.

 

Basically, my brain can't comprehend that vehicle.

[Danblez]

There's been some seriously impressive spots recently.

[Station]

Jesus fucking Christ, I'm having a seizure just looking at it. I assume it was lengthened to make space for the owner's massive balls.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

"it's a good car this, it's just not quite big enough and hasn't got enough doors. I could get a different car, but I think on reflection it will be better to chop this one in half, lengthen it and make/fit a pair of rear doors for it from scratch"

[Fabergé Greggs]

That must absolutely flipping shift with a modern 1.6.

 

Do you think he even realises?

If it's the same man that created this wonderful example of automotive jiggery pokery he probably does.

Find of the decade.

[Alexg]

Unbelievable

[paulplom]

He should be made the official autoshite technical advisor

[barrett]

This is actually amazing! I thought the days of old blokes driving round in home-brew cars was long gone, but this chap is still flying the flag. Brilliant.

[seth]

It is incredible that with the reach of this place, this has only just come to light.  Amazing.

Calender

[Isaac Hunt]

Ace spot, I bet 'mechanicals' are his bag and whilst he can do 'bodywork', paint is his least favourite task.  I'd wager that mechanically this is like a switch watch.

 

If he's been at it for 40 years, that's quite short in Kit Car circles, some never get finished.

 

Does his 'wife' drives a modifield Reliant Regal ?

 

The challenge is beating the system and defying protocol 'ennit'

 

That Reg is worth a bit to Mr Bhetoven Tweddell

[Pillock]

Came back to it this morning.

 

HOLY SHIT.
