As a few of you know we've been expecting our first baby and at 9:13am this morning (27/02/09) little Lucy-Jane came into the world. She is 3 weeks early but very healthy and fully developed. Both mother and baby are doing well. Lianne is in over night of course and should be back home tomorrow.
Here's my baby girl:-
I'll get a couple more shots when shes back home and settled.
I'm sooooo happy, and it looks like I got the new car just in time lmao. Almsot as if she knew lol.
Cheers BAD63R
Hi - I've just uploaded the images I took at ModdedUK 2005
http://www.torquecars.com/forums/album.php?albumid=10
Just got 2006 and 2007 shows to do now!:confused: Then I can start on the 2008!
Offerred to polish up a mates severly oxidised red Corsa (don't know what was worse, driving a Vauxhall or that it has winy windows!!!!!). Two passes with G3 and will go over the whole thing with a pass of Megs 83/80 (I forget which one is the lighter one).
From this:
To this:
I managed to do the bumper, bonnet, wing mirror, and door before it got dark. You can see where I stopped polishing towards the back lol.
What you reckon? Coming up nice so far no?
While driving home from work today I stopped at a set of traffic lights, ahead of me was about 10 or so cars. When the lights changed we pulled away, about 300 yards further ahead lying in the road was a broken lump of farm equipment, a 4 foot bar of steel that looked like the Jolly Green Giant's nit comb. If you hit it, it would really have spoilt your day.
What surprised me was that no one stopped to move it they just drove round it.
It took me about a minute out of my journey to find a safe place to pull over & move the nit comb out of harm.
This isn't the first time it's happened to me either, what I don't understand is why people are happy to drive around, leave hazards in the road & carry on driving? :confused:
Hi all, I think I'm doing this right? :confused:
Just a quick note to say I have added pictures of my Granada to an Album on my profile! ;)
Chris.. :blink1:
Hi peeps ;)
Well as some that know me will remember i dissapeared back at the beginning of the year due to my girlfriend having our first baby. Well, nearly on christmas now and shes 10 months old. IIRC i uploaded a pic or 2 of Lucy when she was born and now I have my camera pics on my computer (finally) i'd thought i would share a couple from halloween as shes just so cute lol.
Looking forward to christmas with her hehe. I'll be like a big kid i would imagine lmao!

Hi and thanks for looking ! Just thought id share the engine note of a Busso V6 combined with a supasprint exhaust. The filming is pretty bad im sorry to say, your better off skipping to about 1 min through as i think starting the car with the cam inside, almost blew the mic ! It sounds much better when going, the rasp from the exhaust is awesome through tunnels...
But i dont know if i will eventually replace it so any opinions on it are welcome ! Hope you like it :P
well i came across this site on tunerfriends.com and looks like a pretty sick site so ill start with my car,its a 95 talon esi-T or rst but whatever enjoy:D
Picture has been resized, click for full size pic
my car was pretty irty in the pic because my friend with the digital cam popped outa knowhere for some snap shots but heres some cleaner ones
Remember kids, you're meant to stop at side roads. A gentleman in a van forgot this minor little point, leaving the '6 feeling a bit, well, dead.
Anyways, his insurance coughed up the money straight off so after a short period of mourning, I'm now mobile again and I've turned to the Dark Side... I've gone Diesel!!!
Hi fellow Caddy owners,
We have just picked up our new caddy that will be used out on the road for mobile remapping and as a general works van. (Might even use it weekends it's that nice)
15,000 Miles on the clock and is like new inside and out, and she is DSG :blink1:
Here's a few pics, let us know what you think.
Hey All.
Finally making the jump over to the Audi side, with this 2006 37'000 mile Audi RS4 (B7) Saloon.
Having had the W8 for yonks, the dim-witted Haldex system on the R36 irritated me from day one. The more I drive it, the more it annoys me. Also, while the R36 is quick, I fancy even more POWER!
Problem is, I keep the W8 too and have to tax/insure/maintain it to quench my thirst for a big noisy 8 cylinder engine. The R36's VR6 is somewhat mute and just drones with anything but a stock exhaust on it.
The RS4 has more power, has the torsen permanent 4wd I like (rear bias on the Audi actually, as opposed to 50/50 on the W8) and produces an epic exhaust note. It's both cars in one - plus some :lol:
.. and naturally I...
Hi Just signed up
I drive a supercharged and nitroused fiat marea weekend, I'll post some picks once I'v done another 9 posts (spam, here i come)
....with my mates WIP 399hp Cossie'd Mk2 Escort, and another mates newly acquired slow-as-fook what-the-hell-is-that-front-bumper S15 Type R (basic mods Circa 260-270hp). Turned the boost controller back up as 22psi is JUST about useable on OTR now, whereas last weekend the RS would spin up in 4th on WOT :lol:
Took a few snaps on the phone for prosperitys sake:
Only cleaned the RS last night too and it's bloody filthy!
S15 is soon to have new wheels with some nice dish on the rear, and a standard/Aero front bumper plus some more boost so it doesn't keep getting in the way :lol:
All the Escort needs is a better paint job, rear diff plus better tyres and it's practically finished. Silly quick though, just plain...
this is a picture of my baby it is a 1977 firebird running a 454 big block corvette engine pushing out 675hp at the wheels does about 8mpg on a good day and 2mpg if i am racing it it has a th400 auto box and will do a 10sec 1/4 mile

O'right all. Had a little meet on the 11th of November with a load of mates, who mostly own Jap cars for a fast run of Snake's Pass and a hearty pub meal. Good enough range of car to hopefully give the recently quiet forum some discussion points!!!
Pics collated from different sources so don't hate. I will say the low sun and lighting made it very difficult to take pictures :beer::beer:
Hi All
well i am now able to post some images.
i have been into improving cars a while and started with a little fiesta was standard when i got it and this is it when i got rid.
after this i moved onto a ford escort cabby 1.6, i done the same again with it, changed the wheels, lower, de-cat, droped a better z-tec engine in and it looked like this.
then when this one had to go i was thinking about whats next? so i got a rs2000, long list already done to it, was running 180bhp and the car drove like a dream
now i have my son and a home etc to worry about so i now have this motor :)

Well when I say new I mean new to me. Just picked it up this weekend
Mercedes 300 CE - 24 Coupe Limited Edition
Nice little ride, needs some work doing to it but it seemed cheap enough at £2700.
Guy said it might be a Carat Duchelet but not sure about proving that but never mind.
It will keep me going till I get the Capri finished.
We have a lot of members here on TorqueCars, and most (if not all) have a car. So feel free to post one picture of each car you currently own and tell us a little bit about it.
Enjoy! :bigsmile:
