Posted by Dicky Snapples
the 67 Shelby Mustang is by far the best car on this thread so far! (even better than the Veyron )
such an awesome car
i will own one someday!
Posted by arien617
Agreed!
Though the back rims are less than agreeable. Meh, it's f'ing quick!

Dude, 1966 GT40. You talking like it's a Fiesta 1.1
Posted by Trev1982
this was my dream car as a boy
i would love to have a go still
Posted by makavelli91
its not a mustang, the mustang was the benchmark for muscle cars, made the dodge challenger and every other supercar or msucle car look like a metro 1.1
Posted by fatreg
an RS200!! YES PLEASE..
also that 9FF...
what's going on with the rear wheels? they have cardboard cut outs over them!?
Posted by fatreg
I still think that's one of the prettiest cars going.

Yes, you're right, most of us will think their chavvy, me included
For lack of better words, they look like they belong to some bloke named Gavin who's got a skinhead and drives about with DnB and Garage playing at full blast from a subwoofer he got from Halfords. This, is not good...
Posted by A L 3 X
Hmmm, i didnt think you were the kind of person that would judged people like that.......I have something I want to say but I wont as i doubt too many people will approve
Well anyway i don't really care, I would happily own one and not give a toss what people think....that is not chavvy they are both modded tastefully and subtly...I really don't know how you can call the second one chavvy as it has genune ford bodykit which is just off different spec models....except the bonnet and splitter
This is chavvy(and a wrecked example of a 2i):

So what do you drive daedalus......

I love this:
Catherham Seven. 50 year old design and still being built. For £37,000 you can have a car that does 0-60 in 2.88 seconds, 0.08 seconds slower than a Veyron.
Second to that has to be this:
Lets see who knows what it is.

Ford Capri RS3100
Can be tuned to a lovely road tax exempt 435bhp!
Posted by jcwhite_uk
That is ugly. They were quite tail happy untuned, what would it have been like with silly power?
Posted by arien617
JC man...
Capri? Ugly? noooo
And where else are you gonna get your tax free 400+ bhp from?
.. unless you own this and would like a 9l V8 with 2000+bhp from a Vauxhall Victor
Posted by jcwhite_uk
And what use is 400+ BHP in a car that handles like a blancmange and has brakes the size of coasters. There is such a thing as too much power.
The car I pictured was a Jensen FF. It had 325BHP going through all 4 wheels. Bet it sounded better than your Crapi (go here to hear it).

Getting a little philosophical JC, but what constitutes a car?
I could just go ahead and buy a Capri, then stick the oily bits off a Gallardo in there. Hell why don't I do the interior as well?
And don't say buy a Gallardo.. you'd need to pay Mr Tax Man's gaylord road tax. (no offence to homosexuals.

Umm, anybody who drives anything older than the current or next Fiesta, or possibly even the one before the current model (I can't be arsed to look up Marks
) tends to look chavvy, or at least any young person driving one. Their about as tastefully done as placing a dog poo onto a fake gold plate in a 'Chavs Announomous' meeting.
BUT, thats just my opinion! Personally I can't stand chavs or anything even a bit chav like, so I'm naturally going to say stuff like that
So what do you drive daedalus......
Thought you'd never ask
I saved, and I saved, and I made what I thought was the right choice (after having spent 2 years driving a 1997 'jade green' Vauxhall Astra 1.4i Merit lol
), and bought this............
Mark 4 Golf GTi - 2.0L and pretty damm nippy lol
It's not as quick as the 1.8L Turbo, as they get far more BHP, but whats funny is, mine's only 115BHP, and my friend has a 2.5L 190BHP Mondeo ST24 Mark 2, and he struggles to overtake me, because mines much lighter and nippier
Either way, I love it, and whats more, I love the fact I can whip the sh*t out of chavs in their little Corsa's and Nova's and Fiesta's etc that are pimped out to look like some kind of cheap-arsed supercar, only to find out behind all those big exhausts they've got some pissing piddly little 1.1L engine. Especially seeing as mine is as discreet looking as GTi's come, they don't expect me to go flying past them
Anyway, love it to bits, only problem is it tops out at 36MPG
Plus tax is £180 a year. Insurance isn't so bad though, only £410 this year, for me, fully comp and everything. This is why it pays to take the plunge and pay for your insurance YOURSELF boys and girls, it pays off when you turn 21
Posted by A L 3 X
Looks nice actually.....at least its a 3 door
and i'm liking the plate
I reckon you should just lower it on some of those big VW/audi tt alloys with lots of spokes......and take the GTI badge off for sleeper style
About the overtaking fiesta comment, i think you would meet your match their as they both have had 130bhp 2.0l silvertop engines put in and they weigh literally nothing...
I like them anyway but i do have a berghaus coat
and about insurance.....it may have paid for most people.....but theres no way my parents and me are gonna find 3 grand as opposed to 1600 on their policy

Thanks
And true about the 3k, in that case yeah it is best to be on your parents for now lol, but get off it as soon as you can, or else you'll find it to be a crutch and you won't be able to get cheap insurance for years. My cousins only just gone on his after 3 years now he's turned 20.
Didn't realise they were that powerful, but I'd still rather have my luxurys like AC and one touch electric windows etc
I do like the idea of the bigger alloys, love the look of them, and I was thinking of doing the opposite of debaging it, by putting a GTi badge on the front. It's like a badge of honour for me, like being part of a special club. Bit like Cosworth was in it's day.
The plate was a 21st Birthday present (the grandkids are all going to get one apparently, I'm the first
), it's my initials "JB" followed by what I do the most....text!
Posted by A L 3 X
I thought it was cos you worked at o2 lol.....still good
Ye I think that would also be good.....probably what i'd do....but thought you were after subtlety
And those fiesta's also have one touch electric windows and i think A/C(am trying to remember the interior of my brothers....which i will add, the only mod was an induction kit) as they are the sport model and not poverty spec
Yeah i think i'll go on a company that lets me build no claims if i can find a cheapish one...otherwise i'll just go on my parents policy till i'm 21 and make sure i let them use the car
Posted by Daedalus85
Word of advice that saved my brother a bit, when we were both learning to drive in the Astra, the insurance was in my name (as I was the registered keeper of the car) and he was a named driver.
Now, with Direct Line, who we've been with ever since I've been in a car, they let you earn no claims discount (for them only) whilst being a named driver, so it saved him a fortune when he got his own car a couple of years later. Worth a look
And yeah, bigger wheels and a little GTi badge on the front is as subtle as the 1.8 Turbo 'real' GTi's, plus they have a rear spoiler, something I do want, mainly to see if it keeps some of the dirt off the rear window
Posted by A L 3 X
yeah I was gonna look into Direct line....although i have a feeling they will be expensive......i ay also check out co-operative insurance as apparently they let you build no claims aswell
I been collecting a list of insurance co.s to check out which look good
hmmm.....need to try and sell my BMX now to get a bit of cash saved.....its only been used about 3 times and it pretty much unmarked....although i doubt i'll get anywhere near the £180 i paid for it if i put it on ebay

Surely a nice black blob would help your J8 TXT no end J?
Posted by Daedalus85
Yeah, you'd think, but I don't wanna run the risk with the cops by making it look like JB rather than J8, anyway it looks pretty much like JB anyway
Posted by fatreg
it's only a £30 fine if they pick you up on it....
Posted by Daedalus85
True....
Already had a brush in with them at Xmas, £60 fine and 3 points for going through what I KNOW was an orange light :/ She was a trainee from what I understand though, so she had to get a certain number of each offence to 'graduate' and I got picked on :/
Posted by A L 3 X
your allowed through on orange arent you if you'd struggle to stop?
and just put one of those black screw covers on it and maybe put a screw through aswell and then you can say its screwed on at that point
I put an import size plate on mine which it shouldnt have as its not really an import although i've taken it off until i can get the bumper sprayed where the old plate holder left a mark
Posted by Daedalus85
cant be arsed to bother with the number plate thing, I'm more concerned about the fact that the day we picked it up (and didn't realise till we got home) that some little twat had keyed the word 'Hi' into the drivers for, about a foot high, a foot across.
Little chavvy shits, now do you see why I hate them so much?
It wasn't there the day before we bought it though :/
