Nice pair... but are they real or fake?
« on: 20 July 2006, 23:47:11 »
This Omega was spotted today somewhere on the continent (I am on holiday, but not from this site!), can anyone spot what is unusual about this car?

I do agree that you need a new camera!!!! The spoiler is wrong though.

Looking closely at the first picture, it actually has two exhausts.
Maybe the owner shoehorned a V8 lump into it ;D

Right on both counts: it's an odd V8 exhaust setup on a 2.5TD, and I do need a new camera...

Since I didn't see who the car's owner was, no idea if he actually went into the trouble of setting-up two rear boxes, or perhaps one is fake. But I suspect that it is a proper dual setup - the left pipe is identical to the right one and seems a little out of place compared to the location of the original pipe.
