Motoring horrors aka Edd wants

Belatedly realise I’ve seen a couple of these on the road and didn’t even notice. Not so much truly ugly as just another me-too lump of hopelessly unimaginative corporate blandness…

Mind, setting nostalgia aside, the original Crapi was a bit rubbish too - second-rate handling, second-rate engines, and rusted like a Russian aircraft carrier…

Wow! So the Chinese keep buying brand names and then shifting production to China?

Who knew?

Certainly not the fucking morons that keep buying Chinese-made shit and ignoring their abysmal abuse of human rights and the economic suicide implicit in flogging everything we own to them…

I fucking despair.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if an 80s Bavarian had an epiphany in the outback? Well someone did, because this exists.

I think it should have been called a Űt though…

I like weird shit and the 635csi is a BMW that I’d not feel dirty owning, but that, that, THING is a fucking abomination. The builder needs his hands amputating to prevent any further manipulation of tools in pursuit of horrors like this.
