I had to share this one.

I'm particularly impressed with his solution to make the front bumper fit the wider arches.

Clicky.

My God, it never ceases to amaze me that people like this take such detailed photos of their 'handywork' and loving record all of their hideous creations, showing no skill whatsoever. Care in the community has a lot to answer for, bring back the asylums!

You joke, thats how Renault developed the R5 Turbo for rallying!

I had a R5 Turbo for a very brief period in the early 90's, well, about 3 months actually, what a piece of sh*t!! Honestly, of all the cars I've owned, and to fair, I've owned some sheds as well as the nice ones, my R5 Turbo was the worst, bit's fell off it on a weekly basis, it broke down on a weekly basis, usually hot running, refusal to start etc etc etc. Awful thing, hateful!

I fixed it for the last time (I thought) and put it on AutoTrader, lots of interest, but it took 5 visits from punters before it ran well enough to sell, it refused to start for a couple of them! It was only 4 years old at the time if I remember right.

Replaced it with a 205 GTi, very different machine, and probably one of the cars I miss the most after going through 3 of them.

I keep meaning to go through this site for a laugh, but it doesn't make me laugh! \:s
