I spotted this in Birmingham on Saturday when I was down there. It's not some tool with a stickered up ex-police car, this thing was stripped, caged, 2 buckets. The whole nine yards. Cool car, certainly got my attention more than the R8 a few minutes before.

Is that Cotteridge? Just down the road from me if it is (looks like it to me).

Well the Rover is gone, apparently the guy who owns it just turned up and jump started it and drove it off. He broke down....

Still, uninsured?

I like that - looks like a 1.8 GT like mine (it has rubbing strips and no side skirts) but I think you need the skirts with the big bumpers

There was a rather attractive woman driving the S8 and you think to yourself, I'm gonna get a pic to prove it, but then you bottle it

Mk4 Golf estate = EUGH, WHY?!
Mk4 Golf estate + ring sticker + older man = WTF

I had a moment with a hottie in a newish hawk eye Impreza. I had a **** it moment and got the phone out butshe spotted me, squeezed her mammaries together and I totally wimped out and scurried in to pay for my fuel. One of lifes regrets, she was a propper tart and wore herself well.

Would be even more epic if the brakes failed

Don't worry, the Saxo is de badged, it must be quick :eek:

500mb = needs upgrade :/

I quite liked the looks of this model but the lights on the back from this angle looks crap and the price was all wrong. If its got some mustang engine in there it compares pretty badly to just buying what gibbo had

I remember it appearing on top gear when the company was still alive, optional nitros made it good for 900bhp? Dont suppose the chinese will be remaking these type of models

He only looked early 30's, there was a guy on here with an Astra estate who went on the OcUK ring trip with his tools still in the back, I think theres a pic of him going sideways

Maybe it could be a new sport? Drive your fleet car 'to da max'

Vigoro · 23 Feb 2009 at 21:28

my money is on the fiesta

kieranv · 23 Feb 2009 at 21:59

it does have m3 mirrors....must have the engine to match

benjo · 23 Feb 2009 at 22:06

Do they not match cars up with similar performance?

mjt · 23 Feb 2009 at 22:19

you're going against the clock though, not each other

not at thrash days, just run against who's beside you in the queue, can always wait at the side for someone you want to race though.

the actual race days are better organised

Memphis · 24 Feb 2009 at 00:08

I just couldn't put my clutch through something like that.

Are they at uber discount prices?

Not especially...can pick them up for about 39k. Have a look on Pistonheads, theres a trophy blue one on there that looks awesome :cool:

When I go to EMS in Kent the owner there has an SV-R in Red, I'll take a pic of it next time, have a lot of road presence.
