Cars

Spent yesterday morning changing the absolutely woeful headlights on my van for some more decent ones from a scrapper:


Quite proud of myself.

Finding it very hard to drive slow at the moment, novelty needs to wear off quickly.

I knew the last shockingly cheap mot was a lucky one off, a new windscreen wiper motor pushed this one to the best part of £500 :sob:

Ooofff we’ve all been there. £500 for another year’s worth of motoring is cheaper then a new car. My last 2 cars were the cheapest car available off of marketplace with a years MOT, so MOT time was waiting for the phone to ring with the fail list.

Had similar with my wife’s Golf, literally just before we were due to get rid battery went, needed a service and front tyres were shot. Owned for nearly 6 years with no attachment so shes picking up a Mini tomorrow.

This is a rare one!

Who would have ordered that originally you think? There can’t be many of those.

By who I mean what demographic of person/car enthusiast.

The Japanese crave some absolutely bananas shit, especially if it’s European.

Some of the body kits for mx5s we used to import were absolutely ridiculous.

Would have been a collaboration between Mitsubishi and AMG. They probably made a few hundred. Maybe a race homologation thing? I don’t know.

Is that the same as yours?

That’s the SL70 though. 7 litre engine which was the base for the Pagani Zonda. I’m sure you know this already but there’s an SL73 as well which is an easy quarter million car.

I like orange indicators so it’s early models all the way for me. Having said that I think I’d make an exception for an SL73.

I like both. If you are in the market for an SL73 you’ve probably already got all the other AMG SLs!

I think it was those fellas in the jet black Gallant, who shot up the Chinese restaurant for this kid named Lamont
