Talk about wasting money on cars look at this

Who in their right mind will pay any decent ammounts of cash for this there is no price but i bet he wants phone numbers for it.I would love to know what he has spent on it.

My mate sold him that when it was a standard black 1.6 car, he's had it painted a few different colours over the years and had more than a few different sets of wheels. the amount of money he has spent must be shocking

Im thinking of saleing my cab.
It would look right at home floating down the Thames!
Yeah, it's had loads spent on it, and been through several incarnations, but bet he wants stupid money for it. Not really my type of thing as it definitely ain't a performance vehicle of any kind.

It was at over Ł40k years ago. There was a link to a TV show on BBC iplayer a couple of years back, and it's changed quite a bit since then.
It was some proper shite regional program. I wouldn't have got it up here as it was on the "Essex Version"

Fair enough IMO, plenty of people out there that would want to buy that. Certainly not my cup of tea though!
I guess other's don't understand why you would want to bling up the underbonnet of an old sierra with chrome, and spend thosands making it quicker as you could just go and spend that money on buying a faster car in the first place.
Whatever floats your boat I guess!

^^^ THIS!
There's no difference in spending thousands doing something like this chap has done, or spending thousands doing something like Rod, or Martin, or Porkie did with the 3dr. It's all about spending thousands doing something that makes you happy - beit modifying a car to look good, or sound good, or be "bling" or modifying a car to go very fast, handle well, or whatever.
Horses for courses at the end of the day. If we all modified cars the same way, what would be the point?

Useful that it has TV screens in the door which would line up perfectly with your hips so you'd have no chance of seeing them. WTF?

why has he put screens in the door cards?
right next to the bit that will be obscured by the seat?
and why, when he's spent all that time and effort and money on it, didn't he mount the head unit in a better place?
and wtf is it with the speakers in the glovebox?
