People that talk curse word!

I had a load of my mates thinkin i was bullshitting for years because oneof my other friends runs a glamour studio and every now an again if asked what i had done over the weekend i'd mention having gone out for a drink with one of the models, i also used to help out on photographic trips abroad, driving the girls to shoots in the hire cars helping with getting everyone sorted in the villa or playing chaperone or whatever.

Course non of em said they didnt believe me, i didnt even find out till i happened to be with my cousin one day when i popped in to say hi and there happened to be a couple of shoots going on and unclothed girls wandering about.

It was on the way home in the car when he let me know they'd all been taking the curse word for about 4 years about me "making it up about going out with glamour models"

someone wanted a looky at the jeeps rover V8 the other day, looked at the big black air cleaner box and said he didnt know it was turboed!

'His hot rod isn't fibreglass - it's steel which has been fibreglassed inside and out to preserve it.'
- hahahahahhaaaaa - that is hillarious!!
- kev

I know a few people who have 160mph+ mk1 and 2 escorts, they can provide evidence though, including magazine features. lol

I started giggling like a girl


itt'l never spool ;D

has it got nawwwwz too?

oh one other guestiong, where would you fit a T6 under there?



spooled at last

but they did fit a Skyline engine in the Mustang? eh?

And from what I've read the cars which actually do the driveing arew all V8 powered with a straight six engine note added after in post production on the grounds the professional drivers said the skyline-motored 'stang was a load of poop to drive.

Right.

This story goes back 20-odd years, but I still manage to raise a chuckle every time this guy's name is mentioned.

A serial bullshitter called P*** used to hang around with us. he worked at 'The Austin' on secondment to the Testing/Prototype Division down at Gaydon (now the new Aston Martin/Jaguar/Land Rover facility, but in 1987 was Austin Rover's Proving Ground).

Every night in the pub he'd regale us with tall tales of how he's been out with Tony Pond all day in a Metro 6R4, or somesuch. Trouble was it was so hard to tell truth from fiction with him, especially when after all that expensive engineering training he didn't seem to be able to keep the 1275 in his Mini in one piece. The only lad I knew who reckoned he could skim 30 thou off a MG Metro head with a Surform (I kid you not, we saw him try, and saw the inevitable blowup a few days later).

He had a '71 Mini Clubman, and in his own mind, he was Timo Makinen. One wet night we're screaming through the back lanes by my house at Warp Factor 1 and a half, the smell of burning oil filling the car, when he leans over to me and shouts above the din "I think I have perfected the art of Left-Foot braking. Observe"

As we approached the 90 degree right-hander way too fast he stamped on the middle pedal with all the finesse of a Lansing-Bagnall driver. The scenery revolved through 180 degrees and we predictably slid off backwards into a very deep, sludge-filled ditch.

As the smoke cleared, I looked at him with my best 'WTF??' expression and his next sentence will stay with me forever.

"I think I controlled that quite well, don't you??"

Stupid fat Muggins here trudged up the road to a phone box ("Dad? Bring the van, and a towrope, there's a good chap") whilst twathead sat on the front bumper, puffing on a Bennie.

That bloke was (and still is, from all accounts) priceless.

a skylined 'stang would just sound wrong plain wrong..........vroooom pschhhhhh *bangs head against wall* seen pics of it though



thus however with a liner lump is acceptable

I once knew a lad who owned what was essentially a standard Nova GSi bar a set of alloys and a back box. However, it must have had some super tune from the factory as must have had his Dad's Vectra 1.8. Because after buying it, on the way back the Nova went off the clocks overtaking his Dad in the process who at the time was doing 'about a ton-60.' Needless to say the twunt wrote it off within a few weeks of owning it, rumour has it he was doing 200+ down a side street when it went out of control.

Lmao. Awesome. 'Makes it lighter innit!'
