it's a 12v?

Wicked! That means I could race him and comfortably win! (had a bit of a duel-that-wasnt with an
unmodified 12v along the M23... some young lady at the wheel who was quite plainly flat out in 5th, and it took at least 3 miles to catch up, slipstream, and then inch past. Needed a hill to properly close the gap. Luckily the road was pretty empty at that point so no-one behind got the 2-trucks syndrome at 80-odd mph)
Mind you it's also kind of sad that someone would dump so much money on modding a car and not even have a decent motor underneath to start with - the price difference is peanuts in comparison and surely he's made sure to extend his insurance to all that bodykit and work? (otherwise... have a crash.... 15 grand of uninsured mods in the toilet)
Then again it's a barry car, probably not taxed or insured
EDIT: Oh, whoops, its had a 1.6 16v swapped in, which must make it... ooh... at least as rapid as a 1.3 CL with all that stuff on

.... but as it's still registered as a 12v it seems he hasn't bothered to inform the relevant authorities of the capacity increase. bazza.
Previous mod apparently looked like this:

Which, to my shame, I must say doesn't look all that bad. At least from that angle. It's a beauty in comparison anyway!
And a couple bits of randomness from the same stupidnorthernmonkey site:

If you can't afford even a knackered 2nd hand Landie... then blow a couple thou on getting your Fiesta jacked up instead. (How do you get in or out of it?! Built in stepladders? Must corner like a double decker bus, but without the weight of the engine on the bottom)

Now THATS low. We should all give up now.

That site is classic
