Haha, some fiats are ok due to the speeds they can do eg punto gt, 1.2 and 1.6 sportings, maybe the coupe turbo too thats all i think is good from Fiat ..

Citroen 2CV CV6 SPECIAL EDITION. does that count? as i hate them and theres nothing special about them lol

Any fiat really, except the old school ones where the boot was open perminantly and the engine was on show, they were cool, but every other one sucks.

Not a great special edition, but I can think of worse.

The Sauber didn't have viper stripes, it had a silver stripe down each side I believe. I think there's a couple over on www.rs2000-16v.com

Id say this, but then realised its not actually an RS. Just spamming my searches. Then the car reminded me of this thread.

Some good suggestions, I think Rouse Saphs and Impreza S201s look shite with the additional bits stuck on as well TBH.

Not sure if theyre limited edition but whats with the fiesta flame, fiesta black and fiesta silver shit?

whats the point in putting a badge with "black" or "silver" on it when people can quite clearly see the fuckin colour? :/

It's this one, the Police pursuit version of the FSO Polonez.
The only car on the planet made entirely from counterfeit parts.
I well recall these things being sold by a dealer in Plymouth, who shared space with a knocking shop around the back of the notorious Union St.
They broke down frequently, usually before the poor sap customer had taken delivery. They used to strip brand new ones for parts to fix the old ones, and the disassembly compound ended up bigger than the showroom.
The shining light of design was the distributor, which was actually supplied totally worn out to cut out the middle man. You couldn't set the dwell no matter how hard you tried, so the tendency was the ignition to be correct on only three cylinders at any one time.
Truly a classic.

If it's the place I'm thinking of they did some work on a Skoda I had about 15 years ago. Proper dodgy garage... come to think of it you (if you are Alan, as opposed to an employee of his) did some work on it too! You won't remember, but it was a very tasteless Skoda Estelle with flames down the side!

Ideal car for women though as you never have to worry about matching paint in after they've bounced off something else stupid
