stanski Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Very nice mate Not a huge fan of Clios the turning is appalling for a city car and rust under the bonnet (on the one I used to use that is! ) but I can see the appeal Zed looks very nice as does the MX5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
player2301 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Your rite about the turning circle it just didnt have one especially the 182 ..... 58 point turns for the win !!!

Gervais Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thanks Gervais - golf looks nice -Zed look Uber shiny! So how did you convert the Corsa from 1.2 to 2.0? Bore out or engine swap? Thanks! Corsa was originally a 1.6 sport. But i had an engine conversion using a c20xe engine from an astra GTE which is a 2.0 16v with 150 bhp Managed to get a 15.3 at Santa pod. Definately surprised people on the road and was a lot of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on very good authority that Ford's next world car chassis will be a Mustang so you may not have to wait too long for the diesel Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zStephen Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 First car when I was 17. Megane Coupe E 1.6 I spent a small fortune on this car on chavtastic mods. Corbeau reclining seats 4" Peco K-tec de-cat 17" Speedline turini wheels Momo gear knob Momo Handbrake Second car when I was 18. MK2 MG ZS. I still kinda miss this car, alot of people slag rovers for head gasket failure, cheaply made etc. But I put over 20,000 miles on this, and the car was problem free. And finally, a proper zed I got just before my 21st birthday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Very nice - that looks like you waxed the Zed after the snow I have it on very good authority that Ford's next world car chassis will be a Mustang so you may not have to wait too long for the diesel Stan Hmm interesting! I know GM are sticking with the ageing 300C (E class stylie chassis for the next incarnation and a base for others - so its parts bin special - its like BMC all over again! (BTW - the new 300c if fugly!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I had some fun with this one I can tell you Taken in 1972.... Taken a year earlier in Snowdonia. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Wow some class pictures there folks particularly like the period 70's picture there Pete - this is the stuff we (well ok I) love! Lotus Europa? One of my all time faves... right up to a few years ago there was a mid blue one locally - used to always love seeing it - yet hated being behind its fumes!! G Man love the pic of the Tres Rex's (Still miss mine !) Maz what Nissan is that one then? Husky dont do it - you will only spend shed loads of cash on it and it will sit on the drive for weeks on end (ahem I should know!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 G Man love the pic of the Tres Rex's (Still miss mine !) That was taken on the Bull Run course, only spent a night there and to be honest, I wouldn't bother going back, nice enough place but a bit touristy. Miss my Rex, too many good times touring Europe/24hr Le Mans and track days, the 370 has a lot to live up to Wish I had digital photo's of my first "proper" sports car, Opel Manta GTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
