LONDON / PORTOBELLO MARKET
It's not too often London gets sun, so when it comes, you gotta seize the day! Off to Portobello Market! First thing first though, the automotive round up!
First we got an Overfinch Ranger Rover. Overfinch is a "tuner" for Land Rovers, best known for make a model with a built-in mohagany gun and whisky storage in the back. Because nothing says manly like shooting little birds in your 4X4 with summer tires...
Next up a Smart Roadster (which has a ton of tuning potential IMO) and an E92 M3 (M's seemed to be a lot less common than AMG's).
Speaking of, there were these two GT bruisers. A CL63 AMG and a Bentley Continental GT (Bentleys everywhere!).
You know what's unfair? That Europe gets the best version of an American icon. Give the US Wrangler a diesel already Jeep!!!
This sweet little GTV was a nice sighting. Even with that dent, Alfa's cars are easily some of the best looking "consumer cars" around. Pretty might not be the best description, but they definitely all have a style that most other cars in their range lack.
A cool Morris Wagon looking properly British.
A 135i M Sport getting buried under trash. Kinda ugly little thing, but a Golf R/S3 killer.
And the best for last, this classic 901. Black exterior, tan interior and Fuchs wheels: simply perfect.
Heh, little white socks on his back feet. Here's some more pics.
JDM 8 Series
Ah the E31. Just one of those cars that even the thought of altering makes people freak out, and for good reason. Despite having been a commercial failure, to many BMW fans (and car fans in general), the 8 Series was one of the few cars everyone can agree that BMW got right. It had some of the sexiest styling that ever came out of the 90's, top of the line GT luxuries, and monstrous engines that just steamrolled over everything in front in a very Bentley style, but with the buttery smoothness that is known with BMW powerplants. So taking such an example of "perfection" and throwing on Japanese tuning styled pieces might be taking it too far for many, and personally I borderline agree with them, except in my eyes, this is that borderline where the owner took it up to acceptable and stopped right on the edge. It works, and works really well, but any further and such acts would have become verboten!
Car Spotlight / Track Attack NA6
It's no ASM or Evasive/Voltex, but the spirit of track attack is definitely strong with this one.
