I saw one of these on Saturday:

https://dayerses.com/data_images/posts/toyota-will-vi/toyota-will-vi-07.jpg

In case you didn't know, it's a Toyota Will Vi (I didn't know either).


What rare/unusual vehicles have you encountered recently?

Heading over to see Mum yesterday, I went past Sandown Park, where this year's VolksWorld event was taking place, so I was surrounded by all manner of tricked up German shitboxes, all of which paled into total insignificance, when I spotted one of these coming towards me..................

https://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8311/alfa8c.jpg

..............which is quite rare, as only 40 were sold in the UK.

However, about half a mile later, one of these passed me, going the other way..................

https://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1714/mercedesslsamgd.jpg

................which I suspect might be even rarer, at the moment.

They're quite common over here, although I didn't realise it was a Toyota, assumed it was some kind of kit car. Embarassed

Saw one of these only in blue last Friday through Boro, must have had straight through pipes sounded beautiful though not all seemed to think so, frigging tree hugging eco uni students Rolling Eyes.

The hotel owner where I used to work was always going on about getting something smaller and more efficient than his Range Rover sport, was recently through there to pick somebody up and saw that he bought this for himself, good man!

I work in The Science Museum in London, that area has too much money, supercars come one a penny, had a play with a mercedes SLR through the hyde corner underpass the other day which was fun. I've also seen two veyrons, two of the new mclarens MP4 thingies and countless lambo's and ferrari's since I started in January.

The thing that caught my attention the most recently was one of these though:

https://www.ls1gto.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=90168&stc=1&d=1218577172

A Subaru SVX, never seen one before.

Also saw a really weird BMW the other day, it was a tiny, with no roof or doors. I'm sure it said X1 on the back but that doesn't make sense for what it looked like, any ideas?

Ahh so that's what it is. Saw one of those the other day parked in someone's driveway as I ran past. Ugly looking thing isn't it?

It probably said Z1 and looked like this:

The doors drop down vertically and you can drive around with them 'open'

You really don't. Kneelers are even worse than normal sidecars. You pretty much have to have a passenger.

You also get burned testicles if you have to stop in traffic for any length of time.

Stop for any length of time here in the summer and you're pretty much frazzled anyway! Laughing
Still like to have one though, haven't got much use for them these days anyway. Laughing

Seen a gorgeous (and stupidly noisy) Carrera GT today. Needless to say, if I wasn't on my SP1, I'd have been jealous at the noise that thing could make.
