Pretty much everytime I've tried to show off and act cool. Reversing my old Mini into the garage in front of a load of guys real fast,smashed into the garage door and it's not been the same since. Tried to race a Pug 206 driven by a hot chick(again in the Mini) down a road with a 90 degree,4 lane corner. Ended up facing the wrong way,in the wrong lane with that chick laughing her head off as she passed. Tried to overtake an old Skoda Favorit with heavily tinted windows on a dual carriageway.Dropped down to 3rd and some gas and we're alongside.More gas,still alongside. Floor it and bang it into 4th and keep it planted and the curse word is pulling away from me.Had to drop back behind him, redfaced. With a mate in his 850 Mini,he went to overtake a modern bus chock full of people. Believe me,no one at all laughs at you when your car is so slow you can't even overtake a bus. Ahh the joys of life!

Pity cos it was going to be a fabulous project but still. I'd much rather see that Escort resurrected! Think of it every time I see a number plate starting in BAO!

I had a Golf as a courtesy car and I felt so detached from the outside world that it was SO safe that it didnt feel right. Id never buy one. Exactly how I felt when I exchanged my old Mini for a Renault 19. And that's a 20 year old car! Agree fully with the way new cars detach you from the road and other road users.Starting with how far away the windscreen is from you. You can't see a single corner of the bloomin thing and you can't hear the engine either(something I hate very very much). I'll never buy one thats for sure.

Get it for sure! Guy I know has one and the engine span a main bearing or something.Replacement engine cost him just shy of 1 and a half Maltese grand. That would be about 3.5k in your language

Now I'm getting caught up in it an' all!!
Got a 3.5hp B n S motor that doesn't work properly which i was going to bodge onto the back of a bike but it's off a lawnmower and thus drive is in the wrong plane.
Got waaay too many projects as it is anyway!

Awesome cars on here lads! Seen one for sale for just 900€ and was really tempted cos it looks mega clean but I've held out for an Escort so long I gave it a miss.
Paul the transit I believe belongs to Irish drift king Declan Munelly who tows his green Mk2 with it. It's got a modern TD lump,can't remember what though.

Awesome car! Love it! It should look the nuts on those wheels? I assume they're going only on the back ?

Just thought I'd post up some random pics of what I've been messing around with lately, here at Hogwarts Towers. Enjoy! My best mate's latest acquisition, Triumph Herald 13/60. Pics hide most of the grot but it should pass an MOT easily enough so it's going on the road ASAP. We've both had enough never ending projects so we're gonna enjoy this now! Cherry bombed!! Latest addition here at Hogwarts. Unfortunately it's not going to be subjected to massive slammage and an RS Turbo engine as I bought it for my dad. It was originally a 1.3 popular but was retro-fitted with a 1.6 Ford Diesel. Has some little niggles which I'll sort out but otherwise seems like a really good car. Anf finally some arty-farty shots of my pride and joy out on Dingli Cliffs,5 minutes from my house. Sorry for the quality fo some of the pics but they're off my Nokia 5300 phone cam.
