"Looks like a £1,000,000 supercar........"

Shocking.......

If that isn't an old MR2 with a stupid kit on it, then I'm a Dutchman!!

Back in the day, there was a kit that made an MR2 look like a Ferrari 355, and it was actually quite good! Certainly better than this c**p!!  :-X

I am definately getting a whiff of a 355 Kit car rear end, not sure where they knocked the front up from though  ;D :D

In fact, looking at it again, I'm sure parts of it is the MR2/Ferrari kit!! I'm sure the mirrors are stock MR2 as well!!

Someone is seriously having a grin here!!

Right, I''m off to scratch my eyes out!!  :D

I think the front bumper section is 355 kit, and are the headlights Fiat Coupe jobs?

Christ! I can't believe a 20 year old Toyota is worth 10.5k of anyone's money! Even with a few fake Ferrari badges!! Perhaps that's why it's still for sale!!  :D :P

Met up with some idiots driving something like that at Le Mans once. I think they actually believed it was a Ferrari, but it was clear from about 300 yds that it was a badly hacked about Pontiac Fiero.
Oh, how I chuckled when they tried to do a burnout and it threw a rod.(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26795734/Smilies/rofl.gif)
