    It wouldn't be the first scooby-engined beetle.

    It makes it a right pain trawling autotrader.com for them. A lot are
    bought as commercial vehicles (unsurprisingly) and so are advertised
    ex-Vat.

    Thing is, you know if you pay the seller the vat it's going to get
    pocketed and he'll have already claimed it back.

    It's weird, I'd never, ever seen one of those and yet the street my
    office is off in Worcester has 6 of them parked on it.

    The CGI stuff in Scooby was good and of course it had Sarah Michelle
    Gellar but Evo was much funnier.

    The 'line' goes back a good bit further, what with earlier 90s stuff
    like the Escort Cosworth and so on back into the 80s.

    Basically, they're road-going rally cars.

  11. OK, fair comment. But if someone fancied a Porsche, you tend to assume
    they're after one of those "ass-engined Nazi slot cars" and not a faux
    4x4.
    "Imposing" has as much to do with general styling and stance as it has
    to do with simple dimensions, IMHO.

    The Continental Flying Spur looks lovely too.

    They do look very bizarre but I quite like them at the same time.
