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.
(how do you steer that thing?)
That site is classic
