The '2.0' & 'AUTOMATIC' badges look to be off a late 70's, early 80's Ford, probably a Granada too :lol:
 
Seen it before. a long time ago.

Supercharger origins - No. Probably not a Locomotive supercharger. It's probably an air pump for a mine or some industrial function. Locomotives used Turbochargers, one of the first being Alco with their 244 series, which was placed within their PA locomotives. EMD later introduced Turbocharging on their 567 model diesel in...I believe it was the SD24. (Note - the snail was NOT much smaller.) However Mines and other functions that need to pump air use gargantuan roots blowers to get the air moving.

EDIT: I stand Corrected: the 567 actually DID have a roots blower, and switched to the Turbo starting in '59. The Alco was always a Turbo. So, if that blower IS off a 567...well, That Camaro has a very large GM product stuck to it's intake...one that is at least 8 years older than the rest of the car!!!

One of my old mates used to have one, all he did was go around showing off that he had 'Ferrari' shoes. You can get them for like...$20 new here now. Probably not that exact style of shoe though.
 
Haha. I just saw those shoes today. I was on the hunt for something cheap and came across those parked in a 50% off bin. Maybe I will find an F430 parked in a 50% off bin? (Well, 75%.)
 
:drool:

I loooooooooooove Air Max's, ever since they came out in the early 90's. 👍 Jordan's are a close second, especially since the retro versions came back a while ago.

I beg to differ. Try 140.
 
Most. generic. Ricer. Ever. (Referring to Roo's...box.)

The SLR replicar is more like an SL coupe than anything. Still, it doesn't look half bad.
 
I always thought it was sad when people take perfectly good cars and ruin them. If you want to tube frame your Lambo copy, go right ahead. But please don't screw up any innocent MR2s to do so.
 
Looks Fine to me.
Depends on what it cost the owner of the 360 replica to modify,but even though its a replica it still is a huge upgrade from the look of the Peugot.
