Sorry about the shitty nature of the photos - poor light + iPhone + rushed as I had the cab driver waiting as there was no way that I'd be able to hail a cab from this place.

Down On The Street
What I think is a genuine Porsche Speedster.
It's always difficult to tell with these, as they are frequently reproduced on shortened VW Beetle chassis. And why not - they're quite similar under the bathtub body. And with a VW repop, you get most of the experience for a fraction of the cost. And you won't cry as much if somebody dings it up.
