yes oui si Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I think that this thread is kind of aimed at the sufferers of Ebay Syndrome. Put your car into ebay, search for accessories, if it's under £20 and says it fits then buy it and fit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert also changed it so that you can hear the indicators from outside the car. There's something really charming about that, I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Charm Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Just remembered seeing something, ages ago, which might fit in this thread. 'Thor 24' is an American lorry that has been fitted with two Detroit Diesel two stroke V12s, and various other modifications including a small jet engine to power the electrical system. The work supposedly cost over seven million dollars. The final result? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think it's approaching the ultimate expression of the 'old man stick on chrome tat' school of modification. Freud would have had something to say about the thrusting appendage in front of the cab, no doubt. The interior is, if anything, worse, looking like a third world taxi driver's fever dream. Note the lack of clutch pedal. HarmonicCheeseburger, mat_the_cat, timolloyd and 8 others 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chodweaver Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 .That is possibly the most repugnant, ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

As predicted, the Marina is now SORN again and still showing as a 1.8 petrol on the records. Shame. Nothing seems to have been seen or heard of the car since late 2019/early 2020...
