Trick question. It's not on a road, it's on a layby.

(or in US terms, a rest stop)

Hey, I found another picture of the same car on the Internet. (I hope there is only one of it

).

Check out the cool Lamborghini doors!

And here's what it must have looked like in all it's Cold War communist technological glory before the full captialist Testarossa/Porsche Slantnose/Countach treatment. Kind of early Porsche 911 mixed with Fiat 850 styling.

Great, where's my MINI sick bag when I need it? Thanks for sharing, though - that really is one hideous vehicle.

Adventure_Man · May 2nd, 2003, 10:40 AM

Hideous!!

Someone email a pic of "it" to the BBC 'Top Gear' team - i would luv to see 'The Stig' taking "it" for a spin round the Top Gear test track

...and I'm sure Clarkson would have a field day too...

MrDurst · May 2nd, 2003, 11:30 AM

I've seen pics of the inside too, it's not a pretty site. I don't think the photoes of this car were taken in th UK either, I can't remember which country now. It's also had it's picture appear in one of the mod magazines, Max Power or the likes of.

haha! I nominate this as the funniest Thread going!
Thank you Strawbs!!!!

Moogy · May 2nd, 2003, 07:15 PM

Fantastic!

A triumph of ironic p**s-taking! The scissor doors just cap it off to perfection

I mean come on, it's got a fuel filler cap ahead of the front wheels and an aerial between the headlights!

I hope people didn't really think was meant to look 'cool' in the conventional sense...

I wish it was mine (always wanted a Skoda!)

Harry Morant · May 2nd, 2003, 07:23 PM

I think it looks fantastic!!!!

And you know what that means......I've stopped taking my medication obviously.

chughes163 · May 2nd, 2003, 07:39 PM

I have to say this car takes some beating at being ugly:

For those of you that dont know what it is, its a kit car based on a Rover Metro made by Banham.

chughes163 · May 2nd, 2003, 07:43 PM

or how about their Austin Maestro conversion to a Ford RS200 Rally Car!

Into........

This bloke does come up with the most disgusting conversions though - hes no graphic designer thats for sure!

One of his classics was the "improvement" of the jaguar xjs....make your own minds up on its looks...

This bloke must of had something to do with that skoda!

chughes163 · May 2nd, 2003, 08:10 PM

or even this, which he calls his 'audi tt look-a-like'....hmmmm....i wasnt aware that they made audi tt's with bulberous front head lights and in kermit the frog green...
