Definitely got a mixed bag a guesses, but we were all roughly in the same ball park.

Just wish someone like Hal or Dill had said Vauxhall Cavalier SRI with some fluffy dice hanging from the mirror

I had black ones in the Escort, red ones in the Ranger.

To be fair though, they are also air fresheners.

Here you go, a snip at 4 quid.

I had Vauxhall Astra GTE with the LCD speedo until it got knicked.

The good old days of the Xr3i, Xr2i, Cosworths, SRIs, GTEs, Capri 3.0.
Most got knicked or wrapped around a lamppost.

Drove one of those for a short while. Canary yellow with a matt black roof and some sort of chequered pattern on the seats. It did go well in more or less straight lines, around corners it was unpredictable and since I have never mastered the art of the reverse steer I wasn't unhappy to say goodbye to it.

This had a two tone green and blue paint job, not really reflected in the pic.
Still, a very nice car

and for post no.3001, what's this?

**dirk diggler** · 26-09-2022, 02:19 PM

I wont say because I think I know the manufacturer and the story behind it, I think.

Iirc, it was part of an abandoned barn type of find but I can't remember if it was an actual model, prototype or a kit car of sorts.

Was a few years ago.

Absolutely no idea! It reminds me a bit of the Celica from about mid-nineties. Was it a body kit for a Celica?

**taxexile** · 26-09-2022, 03:16 PM

no, it was a british company. they made very expensive cars powered by chrysler engines, a V10 in the case of the car I posted.

here is another view.
