I don't think it's that bad, I do think its a bit on the low side to talk down someone's possessions though

It might be his pride and joy so let him enjoy it :) maybe he doesn't like your cars!

 

^ This and this again. 

 

Ive owned mk2 golfs, hondas and the like but by far the chrysler has been my favourite, it looks different, its tidy, it gets attention, it has the gangster get away car look to it, highly pimpable and with my physical disabilities its ideal without it being a bus.

 

And as lel said, bit cold talking down something you probably have never been near, sat in or driven especially since you dont know the persons circumstances and cant then be taken as banter.

whats happened to roof it looks like it has been edited  but in the reflection it is different 

you have photo shopped it in haven't you

The footbridge has chopped the top of the roof off. And simply standing in a river with my camera for 5 minutes waiting for the water to go clear, no photos hop trickery here. :)

My 3 litre super charged Ford Capri made motor running at 541 bhp

DAMN! That CAPRI looks like a beast and running at 541 BHP... Reminds me of the Dodge Charger from the fast and furious films. :D

 

Well. There is nothing better than a classic ford!  :sweeeet:

Here's mine for those of you who haven't seen it already. A 1989 Lancia Delta 1.3 known as Damian (came with the car) that I bought in April, sadly I'm not 17 until October so can't properly drive him yet. :(

and the estate....

so it really does earn it's keep, the only down side to it is the fuel economy see anywhere from 25mpg to 40 on a run, but get about 30-35 most of the time...

That's the beauty of Honda! Mines shaped like a breadvan, had 4 pit bikes in it! And you're right the fuel economy rivals any diesel! 70quid gets me 480 miles!

 

well the van is a 2.4 tddi with 90bhp, and it avarages' about 23mpg, it doesn't help that the engine is running all day, and it tip's the scale's at around 2.5 ton's...

 

but having said that, the Honda, the gear box is too short, 3000rpm your doing 56mph, 4000rpm your hiting 70mph, and once over 4000rpm it drink's it. but town work it's awesome, I can have it in 5th gear by 25mph, and it'll pull from 20mph in 5th without having to change down....

Awesome :lol:

 

Few pics of the Escort from this year, Tasty T34 Hybrid, 2 stage boost set up  fitted up along with some other goodies to monitor everything, engine can reliably push 200bhp on 1 bar boost. Shame the gearbox can't cope :lol:
