    Yup, if it's got tits or wheels it'll cost you a fortune.

    I've always had a soft spot for Lambos.

    I've only ever paid for haircuts when i was instructed to by a woman. Needless to say those ones didn't last long. Hence i'm all alone and devoid of love.

    Come to think of it the list of things i've only had to pay for because of women is quite long... wine, clothes that fit, food that isn't takeaway...

    12" wheels with 165's handled and rode a lot nicer than the 13s.

    I lead the team that did the engine management 'tune' (calibration in industry speak) for the twin injector cars (last ones made), I left when they threatened me with working on the Bini but did end up working on the Cooper S (Supercharged) via a later employer anyway!
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

  • Did i even say anything about the thread? I know people like you would try and mess up the thread, thats the thing about posting it in the CC.

    Btw, still not funny.
  • :roll: Don't post it in the CC then.

    This forum really is becoming a pile of turds.

  • If you read, i posted in the CC because this is more popular than the hub, so i was hoping more people would reply.

    If you dont like the fact that everyone else isnt like you, and taking the piss in this thread then dont read it, and dont post in it then.
  • Any pics of your mum on a car available?

    I thought you'd know how things work in here after the 'Muddy Fox' thread. The 'watch' thread got enough replies in the Hub.

  • Im aware of how things work in here, but that was a really stupid thread of me to post that time :lol: This one is more sensible so i was expecting more of a sensible response.
  • But it's in the CrudCatcher!?!!? Nothing ends up sensible in here. Farking hell, how difficult is it to understand!?

    Live in hope. Die in despair.

    Would love one of these, one of my mates has one but until I do get one I'll stick to my mk3 caddy. I'd also love a split screen camper but that is way over budget.

    I'd also love one of these.

    And woman don't cost anything, you should never pay them, once your done with them you should find the nearest ditch and leave her there, head backwards.

  • Renault 5s are nice. My dad owns a Renault 5 Gordini Turbo, one that looks exactly like this.

    But sadly my dad hasnt driven it for years, and its sitting in a spare warehouse at work, and it looks like this.

    Those things are hilarious, I love them. I worked for Radbourne Racing about 25 years ago and got to drive quite a few of those. Not very powerful by modern standards, but they were insane. Tuned ones could pull wheelies and would belch flames on the overrun. Nearly stacked one in the wet, a bit of a handful at times.
