"Looks like a £1,000,000 supercar........"
Yeah right, looks like a contraption some old boy has knocked together in his shed...... Shocking....... |

If that isn't an old MR2 with a stupid kit on it, then I'm a Dutchman!!
Back in the day, there was a kit that made an MR2 look like a Ferrari 355, and it was actually quite good! Certainly better than this c**p!! :-X |

I am definately getting a whiff of a 355 Kit car rear end, not sure where they knocked the front up from though ;D :D

In fact, looking at it again, I'm sure parts of it is the MR2/Ferrari kit!! I'm sure the mirrors are stock MR2 as well!!
Someone is seriously having a grin here!! Right, I''m off to scratch my eyes out!! :D |

I think the front bumper section is 355 kit, and are the headlights Fiat Coupe jobs?

Christ! I can't believe a 20 year old Toyota is worth 10.5k of anyone's money! Even with a few fake Ferrari badges!! Perhaps that's why it's still for sale!! :D :P |

Met up with some idiots driving something like that at Le Mans once. I think they actually believed it was a Ferrari, but it was clear from about 300 yds that it was a badly hacked about Pontiac Fiero. Oh, how I chuckled when they tried to do a burnout and it threw a rod. |
