Came across this Alfa 4C whilst out with the wife today. Looks great from all angles except this one. I really cannot get my head around those lights and why?

It's really quite a tiny car and is a great package. But those lights.....

Certainly has a lot of grip.

 

I was invited to test drive a 4c. Fun wee beastie. I prefer the spider lights to the more conventional alternative that they offer.

Do they look good the right way up?

It's funny how the Italian manufacturers get away with such bland named cars in their native language. Here's a few, if translated into English (I think they're correct):

Alfa Romeo 4 cylinder

Alfa Romeo 8 cylinder

Ferrari the Ferrari

Fiat Point

Fiat Big Point

Fiat Type

Maserati four doors

And some of the "English" ones have dubious connotations in the native language... think what's now implied by the term "Escort".

Lovely looking car and love the typical alfa wheels, but those front lights are terrible, makes it look loke a build by ebay build imo

I thought only iPhone's posted pictures upside down,, Mr @C8RKH you have not gone over to the dark side surely?!  

I know I know you found the picture posted on the internet yeah yeah, you closet Apple lover  

[C8RKH]

The only good apple is either the variety you eat.  I loved seeing the 4c, looked great in the flesh, but those lights. oh my. not even a set of lights a mother would love. Why oh why did they have to do that to the car?  maybe if the black bits were bodied coloured. They just look like some Halfords skanky sh!te that someone has glued on.

You can order the 4c with boring lights if you wish.

Please tell me that is a car car,  As if real that car is worth an absolute fortune and should not  be sitting in a field  like that   even if its a porsche !

[Barrykearley]

That cars worth a mint - even if the floors look like doilies

The garage restoring my 1960 Mini body in Plymouth has a RHD real wide body Martini 911, it was discovered in a garden in Wales and been valued at £250k once restored. 

If that flat nose is real.....?

Pretty sure it's a 935 style bodykit only. The interior looks like a road car and not a racer like a 935. That's if it's a Porsche at all. The 930 was the regular Turbo. I doubt it's even one of those.

[C8RKH]

Y'all know my feelings on modern Porks, but real or not, that is just lovely and I'd proudly drive it like I'd stolen it once restored.

There is something about Pork cars of old before they went all Chelsea Hairdresser and City twits re their drivers.

It's been posted on a few sites this past few week's. Sad to see it like that even if it's a porker.

Before my first Excel (but after the Europa) I purchased a 911 Turbo (3.0) as a project.When I eventually managed to open the driver's door there was a 3 inch puddle of water in the footwell, no rot in the floor pan as it was galvanised. Not so for the door pillar hence the difficulty opening then closing the door.

When the tin worm gets hold of them Andy it spreads rapidly, I had a early 80s 911 sc , project car, lovely looking car but no engine or box, picked it up for very good money just could not bring myself to cut bits out for a conversion, so passed it on, only car i have ever made money on without touching !  Noticed when putting it on the new owners trailer that the fantastic paintjob had started to bubble and i think the tin worm was making those wide back arches bubble.

Stunning model Bibs,  For something that was so expensive back in the day i shudder to think what that model is worth now !  Reminds me of that chap that built the running ferrari model replica that actually runs.  Works of art

One for @C8RKH

That's the trouble with selling a lot of cars, you pick up your fair share of morons!

[C8RKH]

Hope the driver of that red car was OK!   Never good to see a classic like that, even a Porker... 

 

[The Pits]

That picture is just click bait it's not even in the video, probably for the best!

wait to you see the cayenne on the beach, there are species of seaweed with more intelligence!
