Pagani to Pickup - Your weekly dose of automotive nourishment

How to stand out in Monaco? Drive a Nissan Micra.

Social spotlight 📱

This Pagani Zonda R has been converted to be road legal, how it passes noise limits is beyond me but it makes for quite the spectacle! Clips of it have been doing the rounds on social media, get the sound on and enjoy watching it spit flames. It looks alien compared to the econoboxes it shares the road with.

Car of the week 💰

Having survived 2 heatwaves already this summer, a car with no roof suddenly seems like a totally reasonable suggestion, logical even. At the point of writing this, there was a Caterham advertised at just £10,950 and the seller will “consider offers”. Imagine a Caterham for sub-£10k, what an amazing summer fling that would be.

Small screen scene 📺

With a hypercar coming out of a corner that hot and smoke streaming from the rear tyres, there can only be one driver at the wheel - Chris Harris. Thrashing the most complicated Ferrari road car ever made, the F80. The lesson here is: never write-off Ferrari.” A Ferrari hypercar with a V6!?

Product of the week 🎁

Do you own a car? Do you have incredible taste? Well, these might just be for you. Available for less than £15, the quality is likely to be…well they’re not going to be hand-woven Persian rugs, but they will be a talking point.

Seen in the wild 👀

I would usually include a link to a similar car for sale, but surprisingly but I couldn’t find another 6-wheeled Nissan Micra pickup conversion on the market. I have however found an article about it from 2020, it appears to be a German vehicle but I spotted it cruising around Monaco so it’s been on quite the journey. In a sea of supercars, this was a stand-out for me.
