Stable of Mustangs, most had the 5.0 V8 |
This one though is the 4 cylinder 2.3 Ecoboost. It looks small in the Mustang's engine bay. |
AMG GT. Now that is a great looking car. |
Classic sports car proportions. |
Subaru Impreza with some questionable mods. |
Mazda Mx-5 NA |
Mx-5 with rear wing and dual exhaust. |
Mk.1 Ford Escort with a nice twin cam in it. |
In the noisy corner - an old VW Golf with speakers everywhere. |
And to run said speakers it has two alternators and a serious looking battery bank. |
Orange Nissan 370z |
An unmolested BMW E30. Don't know what engine it had but I'm guessing it's a 4 pot. |
A 'thing' that was once an Alfa Romeo Brera. |
Flames and lightning Lexus |
GTR Corner. There were at least a dozen of them. Sadly I'm not a fan. |
One of the coolest cars. Lancia Delta Integrale. |
Delta Integrale in excellent condition. A real show car. |
Dodge Challenger SRT |
'Murican poweeeer. 6.2 liter V8. |
A Smart Roadster Coupe Brabus |
The Brabus trim was the range topper like AMG for Mercedes. |
A regular Smart Roadster with a massive wing to rein in those angry 81 horses. |
Ratty VW vans. The white one is positively post-apocalyptic. |
Audi TT with engine bay art. |
Subaru Forester ST in WRC livery. |
Corsa with an enormous wing. |
Family of Tasmanian devils living under the bonnet of a Focus ST. |
Mazda RX-8. Again with a massive wing. |
This is more to my liking. A jaguar XK8 with more modern wheels. |
Timeless design. |
Chevrolet Astro in the general parking area. |
And a Beetle. |
Just when I was leaving, some supercars showed up. |
Since there was nothing left to see at the car show.... off to Southend-on-Sea
Beautiful sunny day, not very warm though. |
Low tide on the Thames Estuary. |
The base of the pier. |
Southend Pier is apparently the world's longest pier at 1.3 miles in length. Your choice of walking or riding the rails. |
Southend seen from the pier. |
Lots of people fishing but I didn't see anyone catch anything. |
Lifeboat station at the head of the pier. |
The Thames Estuary. |
