Tail lights make me think it might have been a vw golf.Saw this today, also has a pipe sticking up:

Maybe it is a fishing rod holder rather than a power booster?
Dashcam's H264 compression seems to have had a bit of difficulty with the non-existent paintwork!
Can't work out what type of vehicle it was?
It's a Polo Van with the "van" part chopped up.Seems to be a 1992 Volkswagen Polo Mark II, they came bent from the factory, but only in hatchback form
If it was a 850 GLT, which I believe it was because gasoline is cheap in the US, then it's factory turbocharged. They just upgraded (and outgraded) the turbo.I have a sneaking suspicion that this Volvo wagon just MIGHT be turbocharged...

spotted yesterday in my mother-in-law's neighborhood
We have plenty of race tracks, but our fastest cars are too fast for the tracks, to compete here you need a V8 just to drive the fuel pump:The annual DHB ( short for Denmark's fastest car ) have been held this weekend, some kid was in the news telling how he to the tune of 80000 DKkr ( 12000 USD ) tuned his old BMW E 30 to 450 BHP.
Problem is you are not allowed to tune your car here,,,,, at least not much, 20% i think are the MAX
I don't get it with no access to a race track, all i really ask for is not having to walk from A to B, and with my economy as cheaply as possible.
And if i wanted to make a mobile statement, it sure as hell would not be with a fast car, cuz that would make me pretty much like any other guy out there, and i don't want to be in the any other guy category.
Even when they only open once a year, some people can get annoyed, from today:We have a few tracks too, but for noise and environmental reasons they are not open every day...
Not sure they have regulations on the Isle of Man! However since nearly all the bikes are also used on UK race tracks, they do stick to UK noise regulations, which would be reasonable if they weren't passing your house at a few cm distance!Well a crotch rocket with a sports exhaust can be pretty annoying.
Even for this once a year race i think they should enforce strict noise laws, i am pretty sure you can still have one helluva race on bikes not nearly as loud.
