Default What exactly is this?



Seen in the car park at Oulton Park at the BTCC yesterday :crackup: :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

It had FQ260 badges on the doors - yes 260 not 360
On the back it had Turbo, Lancer IX and GSR T4
On the wings it had L IX T4
On the wheels it had FQ 260 and Lancer IX
All the dashboard and gear console had chrome trim










Oh lordy lord......

The best bit is that you'd have thought it belonged to some chavvy barryboy...... if you did you'll be wrong! The bloke who owned must have been nearly 70 yrs old with totally white hair and big moustache

It was all I could do to keep my hand steady to take the pics as I was laughing so much. I didn't have the bottle to ask him to have a look at the engine bay in case I seriously cracked up
