How much!!!?

I wonder how the "this car is VERY fast" gets on with the "certain roads make it wobble "

Tell you what, take away all the references to the Carrera GT and you've actually got quite a good looking car there. Seems to be well put together and with upwards of 350bhp it's going to shift. Just needs lowering a bit.

The external fit and finish doesn't look bad to me

Not sure about the rest

Not only did he not get any bids for it, it looks like the local thieves weren't interested either as it's still sat on his drive. To be honest i can't believe he wasted 30p advertising it on ebay.

30p should have been the starting price, with no reserve

A 30p Buy It Now option would be too much, even with free postage. Who in their right mind would want that thing dumping on their drive.

I may send him a question

" Hi mate, love the Veyron. If i bought it do you think i'd pull some fit birds in it, it's just i'm as ugly as they come and your car may just do the trick to help me get some slapper on the back seat, are the back seats comfy ?

Come on.....the T5 engine must be worth 50p all day long

Just noticed that its relisted at 12k as a 'kit car' it's not that bad, just over priced IMO

The MR2 seems to be a platform for being turned into a load of 'different' cars

I quite like them as they are! Wouldn't try turning one into this or a 355 etc

Indeed.

Could be worse, though...

The shape actually, *ahem*, 'looks more like' that American Vector W8 supercar thing.

Ebay nightmares aside, I had one of these pass me on full chat yesterday, I didn't see it coming and I nearly jumped out of my skin

What a car




Having said that, I'd still have the DB9

The giveaway is the colour...Porsche never offered tangerine..The alloys don't look stock either...Porsche wheel caps would've been a nice detail...and a convincer.
