you know I'm surprised I've not yet seen a corsa, nova, saxo etc.. in Burberry

I'm not a fan of BMWs, nothing to do with the cars, just the badge and name, it brings to mind obnoxious middle management toss offs. But I want that car right now, I don't even care how it drives, just look at it! It's a work of art! Probably only a concept for promotion though, all the good...

For my car I wanted black body with a pealecant white bonnet, in a very similar style to the hans RX in tokyo drift, then some gold detailing down the side and a vinyl anime charicter behind the doors on each side.... I was quoted 5 grand... so def a money no object paint job LOL

so I suppose then it'd be between GM's Y32SE or Y26SE dependent on cost with insurance and MPG? I can turbo them later down the line. I was hoping to keep the engine swap to about 1,500 to 2,000 after I've sold off my current 1.4 engine (not sure who'd wanna buy that though)including...

Hey, I'm looking at doing an engine swap for my MK1 Tigra, I was wondering what sugestions people had, I'm aware that I can't just shove a 6.5 L engine in their because of size and chasis strength etc... so what can I go to? Don't worry about gearbox etc.. all will be uprated, I just want to...

I don't know your speakers but I'd assume you will need an amp for them

why does it have to be a F1 driver? Top gear make everything up :-s the shows all set up, even the 'banter'. I used to think damon hill aswell, before I found out it was ben collins, not sure what the speculation is still, we know theirs more then one but the main one is Ben collins

I'm surprised to hear it has good handling, not due to weight but those big flat sides aren't every aerodynamic good gust of wind at high speeds and it'll fall over no? and they have fairly high ground clearence don't they? plus nose heavy in an empty van. SO I don't really see how they'd be...

Wait, Novas aren't naff anymore? you sure about that? I don't know many people who no longer laugh and take the mick every time they see one, or shake their head or summit. Capris are cool, didn't realise they ever weren't. in 20 years time it'll probably be green cars like the g-wizz

I can drive a car without ABS, what happened was because I thought I had it so automatically relied on it. After I discovered I didn't have it I drove just fine. I'm all for not taking control away from drivers, thats why I'm not a fan of automatics at all, but at certain levels, things like...

400 BHP in a car that big and heavy? Does it move? :P I'll be wanting one of them in all, you could sell your house and just live in it, it's big enough. Makes parking easier in all, you wont have to squeeze into the bay, just park on top of the cars either side. Even better though is if you...

Yeh I thought it was widely known there i loads of stigs with Ben Collins being the most common. Didn't a member of the Bristol press tell everyone last year as well? Though I'd heard before then anyway. thing is they do the lap times so they have to try and hide the fact it's different drivers...

some of those are so standard on the roads I don't really pay attention, like I more then likely saw a quite few Evos's Mercs, focus and R8's on the way over this morning. *shrugs* The Jag's are getting a pretty common site aswell, there's one in the car park just outside, Think it's an XJ...

I thought a lot of these super high speed cars didn't have any of that stuff to save weight. It's handy but not essential, useful to know if you have it or not though, I had it in my rovers and didn't realise it wasn't in my corsa. I had someone cut me up whilst I was traveling at speed, they...

Yeh, he'll just get lost, like he did when they raced the car bike boat and public transport

That's what I thought, I was expecting them to say a couple hundred or something, when they said 89 my jaw nearly hit the floor lol. I wasn't gonna argue :bigsmile: although if I crash they will only replace it to factory standard, but I can live with that.

Ahh that could be a give away, seems a bit daft to be in an unmarked car if you wear uniform, defeats the object largely surely? o.0 The ones I've seen tend to be plain clothed (yes they were police cus they pulled people over)

I thought over 50MPG was standerd in cars these days? mine only does 35ishMPG but it's 10 years old. My dads new Jazzs digital display tell him what MPG he's doing at any one moment and it's usually above 60MPG and occasionally taps on 100, and that's a petrol.

if it was unmarked how do you know it was a police car? You sure it wasn't just some idiot driver and you were being paranoid?

just forked out about £850 for a set of new 16" alloys with toyo tyres and getting the car lowered by 25mm Insurance only went up £89 ... thats it :o

I'm not a big fan of windows it has to be said, Mac OSX is all right but I like Linux, I put linux Mint on my last computer to use on a partition with windows, unfortunatly however I stupidly deleated my windows boot drivers and had to ask linux's permission to use windows Lol. The thing with...

I think we have a winner guys and gals! Death race cars would be great fun, not sure you'd really get away with it, but then you wouldn't really care, you'd be having far too much fun Lol

http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2009-03/05/the-car-gadgets-at-the-front-of-the-grid-at-cebit-2009.aspx << The 3D dashboard I'd have one of those dashboards, as well as the dif out of a prodrive, a skylines management system, bassically all the best bits of the best cars in certain areas all...

skidding differs between the drive of the car. I remember doing the police skid pan, RWD was great fun skidding, holding the skids and stuff, the instructor said I drove like a rally driver cus whilst everyone else was struggling to have any control I was drifting across the whole skid pan Lol...

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Fair enough with the police call, I was looking at it from the perspective of conspicuousness and being chased straight from the off *shrugs*

why de-badged?

well when I said various races, they raced offroad, and tracks etc.. and F1 came up tops most times. the broadest range is what I meant by drifting being too specialist, it's highly skilled... in only one aspect of driving. I'd still like to think it's Rally drivers. In all aspects really

A Hurse of course :bigsmile: http://www.deadvdubz.co.uk/images/hurse.jpg http://www.associatedgraphix.com/images/customcar/large/hurse.jpg

it looks great from the side, the problem is the front on look, I think it's because of those mountainous bumps each side of the bonnet. probably has some aerodynamic quality though. but it's a kit car and very customisable so I'd have thought it no problem to get it looking a bit more how you...

I always used to say that rally drivers were the best drivers for many obvious reasons. But they did lots of races of rally drivers against formula 1 drivers in various different types of races and the formula 1 guys by in large won hands down. I'd still like to believe it's rally drivers...

Rather conspicuous, admitedly police helicopters aren't trained in stopping manovers for flying cars Lol but I'll assume they'll be happy to just follow along laughing until you eventually get to your destination. Unless you're going to Mexico of course where they can't follow you, but then...

2 sides of the coin. You can become so comfortable that you're not alert, you're just cruseing around like you're sitting on the sofa, the dangers of the road seem distant and unimportant, you wonder what setting to have your air con at, turn the CD player up a bit and fall asleep in your comfy...

The film the transporter comes to mind Something fairly non-descript, an audi estate for instance, not something the police will spot and recognise from miles away, something they'd have to check the number plates of to know it's the right car. So gadget would be a number plate changer. The car...

Ok, so officially the fastest acelerating and decelerting road car of all time, frequently brakeing the world records. You can build it yourself so you get to know the car intimatly to every nut and bolt. It has super car looks. Can seat 2 people, with leather seats, has aircon etc.. And can be...

I dunno if anyone remembers my driving torque thread but I'd put my car on to see where my main power bands are and peak torque, it's useful information for taking the car onto the track no?

Handling mods are a no brainer- better handling is safer of course :p You'll have to let us know how that engine swap excuse goes down, I've a good idea myself :p

At the house, I have a garage but I sort of converted it into a studio so thats not useable anymore so I just park on the driveway or on the road. At the Caravan I just park on the concrete out front. I wana get an underground garage one day, I've seen videos of those car lifts people have on...

Ok so I was driving down a national limit road the other day at reasonable speed when I went to change gear and noticed something was missing... My gear knob had fallen off and vanished. :lol: It reminded me of a story my dad once told me about back in the day he and his mates did loads of cars...

If it's so great how come they don't make entire tracks out of the stuff? or use it more on the roads?

Are you sure about that? I know they had a lot of financial difficulties etc.. But I think they still exist
