-
Very, very nice example...
I see the rear discs, but whats under the bonnet?

-

Cool! I was racking my brains trying to think of my mate Alans Cally, his is an 8v and I thought i remembered it having drums but Im most likely wrong :lol:
Does the transfer box work ok? youll be launching off the lights if so :lol:
-
the 4 wheel drive is indeed fully functional (for a change) lol yee haww, cant do silly launches with it as it will break tho
-
Wont be long before something happens to it and it ends up scrapped.
Tekforums Sweepstake?
-
your a right wanker u know that?
-
No need to be jealous that I can handle a car and not crash it.
Whats your count now? 3? 4??
-
hmmm i can really stop people crashing into the back of it cant i? U TWAT!
-
That may be true, but the two cases of driving like your hairs on fire... One into a field, and another into an animal. Bad Judgement.
And what started as a light hearted comment turned you into a cocksucking monster. Charming.
Lets hope your next case of bad judgements hurts no-one except yourself.
-
i hardly call pootling down a country lane at 40mph "driving like your hairs on fire"
-
Bad idea looking a car over in the rain, it can cover up a multitude of sins like paintwork problems and you are less likely to have a proper look underneath.
Car looks nice in the photies but you cant depend on us either...
and stop being catty lads or we will have to get the claw cutters out :evil:
-
I think the top one looks good tbh... but I dont know much about cars anyway :?
-

You dont have to be driving like your hairs on fire for either of those to happen, the first the animal can just jump out infront of your car and its impossible to miss even at 30 or below. The second can be caused through object fixation which is the rediculously common situation where a drivers attention is locked onto a stationery object and it then becomes impossible to miss the damn thing. Ive done this, although by the time I hit it I was only doing a couple of MPH so no damage to the vehicle.
On a bicycle I managed crash into a seat on a corner... :whoops:
-
looks very good mate
shame you didnt get a gt3000 though.

Soopah has got a point mind.
You seem to be a bit of a magnet for mishaps. Certainly the one whos had the most accidents on these forums.
Perhaps something a little safer should be considered?

yeah the rain does cover the paintwork blemishes well, i did however lie on the floor and have a good look under, im not scared of the mud lol
yeah iv has some bad luck with cars but i do some serious mileage with my job so its hardly surprising i get the odd problem
-
pah.. still think the little tykes deluxe coupe looks better than your car :P lol
-
better... who knows.. but mines faster :D
-
only until it breaks :D
-
All toys break sooner or later if you play with them :D
-
Damned right... Everything breaks sooner or later and its the risk you take when buying an older car...
-
indeed, well.. older but most of its been replaced by the looks of things lol
-
I think youre a fool for not buyin a mitsi.
Jaimz :rock:
-
nope, just couldnt afford it
-

But you also save a lot of dosh if you manage to get yourself a goodun. A £20k car can drop half in three years and if you get a low mileage one youre well into profit.

Mitsu Eclipse? Here theyre popular with ricers and Mexican youth. Not that it speaks of the cars quality, theyre quite popular simply because theyre tunable, but in the states the older ones do have a cultural connotation.
If its fun to drive, go for it.
-
It isnt an Eclipse, they arent sold over here, tis a 3000 GTO :drool:
Jaimz :rock:

Soopah has got a point mind.
6 points apparantly, according to his "Car Insurance" thread. Rofl. Pot, kettle.......
-
I was waiting for that, but at what point did I endanger anyone.
34 in a 30?
Is that dangerous?
Is not reading the conditions of the road correctly and sliding into a farmers field dangerous?
Also seeing as Ive been driving various cars around tracks and whatnot since the age of around 10, as well as riding motorbikes from a similar age, I feel I can control a car better than most my age. Might not be true mind.
Points on a licence dont make an unsafe driver. One of my mates used to drive home from work pissed up. Never got stopped. Crashed once though.
He has 3 years no claims, and no points.
Also, who would you prefer to get into a car with, someone with a record of crashing a few cars, or someone whos gone a little too fast?
-
Ah theres no need to argue. One or two accidents does not a bad driver make. Driving dangerously all the time and with no respect for other road users does.
Hell be grand - its a calibra turbo, itll not last a month :p
-
mah, a "record of crashing" ok 4 in total, 2 were people hitting my arse, one was a deer in the road and 1 was me getting it totally wrong and damn near killing myself.. hardly what id call a record of dodgy driving. loads of people hit deer.. and i learnt from the field.. loads of people get lifts huge distances with me and never complain or say anything bad about my driving.
-

Heh there was nowt wrong with the road and i coulda have got round there faster than i was going, it was just inexperiance and jumping on the brakes for no reason that caused it.
-
braking mid corner is never a good plan :D
-
yes and i will NEVER do it again by choice...
