I think they're going for that sandworm aesthetic

I think there might be a spelling error there Tiles and NHS surely misspelt 

Love there sense of fun   

Did some googling, they're an engine tuner that specialises in American cars and dragsters.  Like this:

No. Just - No.

Really: NO!

JUST the sort of the 'Forest Lads' would got for round here. Dear, oh dear.

They're the ones who have their front number plate lying flat on top of the dash inside the windscreen and whose seats are so low they have to look THROUGH the steering wheel, rather than over it.

It's no better further up the Wye valley!  Just this morning I saw a Nissan Micra with flames painted from front AND back wheels.  There was a great deal of "vroom, vroom"  as he waited at the traffic lights, then he stalled it as they changed to green.  I presume this counts as a tepid hatchback, rather than a hot hatch!  He had what my sister calls  "go-faster writing" across the doors, too.

And I bet he had the loud exhaust, whose decibels levels have an inverse relationship with their manhood - the louder the fartcan, the smaller the junk.

Hilarious laughter here, I LOVE it!          

I got the feeling it was tongue in cheek, not sure though!  I was driving past and had to pull in to snap it, the things I do for you guys eh? 

I never saw it but an old friend apparently dressed up his first car for its limp in to the scrap yard.  Punched holes in the bonnet for some scaffolding pipe, ran some more up the sides as exhausts and a bit of tin sheet as a spoiler as parody of some boy-racers he knew.

My thinking behind this build...

...was shabby paint, fake sidepipes, dummy blower...

...hence the name "C-Bomb".

Kind of a Viking funeral, and yes I know there was no boat involved but you know what I mean 

Thread revival for this one here:



A VECTRON locomotove (BR 193 623) from a private railway operator from the Netherlands, seen at Stuttgart recently. But the livery has been worn since 2018 at least.
