On Sunday night I was at the Milton Keynes Cruise with the usual Boy "Racer" types and as I was walking round it got me thinking (besides "what the curse word has he done to that Saxo?") that surely there could be something made like this for the Modified Retro scene! My thinking came from the fact that all these young lads in there Saxo's, Corsa's, Civic's etc probably have never been exposed to Retro Cars and there whole interest in Modified Motors stems from watching the Fast and the Furious and reading Lax Power so why don't we start to spread the word by turning up to Cruises in our Retro Boxes of Coolness and help these poor soles see the light!

every night they boy racers go down to the local supermarket carpark, so i went down the other night and it turns out it was the meet for the whole of suffolk/essex they were having burnout comps and donut comps ( involves putting trays under the back wheels and turing the corner with the handbreak on.
i was talking to some1 i know from work when a bunch who wern't local started laughing at the viva, so i would out the fuel on the webber and had a play showing them how to do propper donuts and burnouts, it finished it off nicely when i reved the tits out of it and backed off.
lets just say Mr mk5 escort man wasn't happy about the melted paint on his door!!!
they have no respect for us!

cheers.
it just really pisses me off how people like that think they own the road and how they think they can turn a nova into a race car by adding plastic and "ice"
you can tell them a mile off aswell with there fog lights on in the fu@%ing day time, thats why if you look at the dolomite its spotters are facing oncoming traffic so they can get some of there own medicen.
i can't wait to get the kadett on the road because it will leave them in the dust, but saying that the manta did, and so did my 1.1 mk2 festa!

Maybe some of ya'll can get down to the Ace for classics night?? Say the word and I'll be there!!  (Not sure if the BM will be allowed at the all-classics night? Was recently speaking to a dude who reckoned that as a H reg it didn't count. His Maestro 1.3 did though cos it was Shittish Leyland or whatever they were called by then and was over 20 years old!) |

You know what bugs me? (among other things ) Years of Gran Turismo computer games and watching The Fast and the Furious has convinced them that there's no art in building a retro car, and that performance comes out of a box that you buy at your local accesory shop, bolts on in five minutes, and there you have an instant race car. (IT DOESN'T BLOODY WORK LIKE THAT!!!) So now when they see you tinkering your carbs, or sitting measuring bits up for your race interior, they think you're wasting your time, and that they can get the same effect from just bolting some cheap plastic sheeting to a curse word motor and shoving half a tonne of stereo in the boot. AAAAARRGGHH!!!!!  |

His Maestro 1.3 did though cos it was Shittish Leyland or whatever they were called by then and was over 20 years old!) They probobly won't let it in - I've seen them turn away a mint ur-M3 (same shape as yours) but let in Mk5 Cortinas, Rover SD1 Vitesses and modern Porsches. Not sure about the Maestro though....  BTW, this is the Ace Cafe guys on the gate, not anyone from Classic Cars mag. If you don't get in, don't worry as there are often classic cars parked for few hundred yards up and down the road outside ;D |
