[JoeyD]

I'd have f**ked your dad for a go in that.

I don't know what happened after that

 

[Waitey]

Does your dad have a big green passport then?

 

[JoeyD]

It was when he was in the army, posted over there.
So.. perhaps? IDK.

EDIT: just been informed he didn't have a big green passport.. lol.

 

[Waitey]

LOL thought he may have been a German national!

 

[JoeyD]

Nein!
Thank goodness.

 

[Waitey]

Still lol'in at you asking your dad if he had a big green passport!

 

[JoeyD]

I didn't think you were being serious at first... thought it could be some sort of euphemism
LOL.

 

[conneh]

My mum did well.

Her first car....

RS1600

Cosworth (She rolled it! LOL)

Mk2 Golf, Mini Cooper 1275 etc etc, and now MCS.

[alex-avfc]

My Grandad had one of those Scorpios with the Cosworth engine, was a bit of a sleeper!

As cool as it gets for my Dad are the two MK1 Cavalier SRI 130 company cars - one white, one grey (going back to the 80s)

and for my Mum, probably either her current Merc C Class or her previous Astra 2.0T cabrio.

 

[Cuppa]

Working at Vauxhalls there hasn't been much variety, but I absolutely loved his MK4 GSI, the recaros were ace. Also he a 3.2V6 Signum, which for a griffin is a pretty cool car IMO.

 

[gaz44]

Impreza

Proper chav!

 

[pagey6005]

Clio 172 ph1 - where my love of them comes from!

 

[Jordi17]

[Jordi17]

[Addz]

My dad's had a 182 when they came out, just got a bright orange focus ST with go with his honda fireblade... big kid.

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

my mum rocks a 2000 reg skoda octavia on 101k last service was 54k dnt think its had hardly anything done to it since she brought it in 2000 all credit to skoda tbh.

dad has mazda 6 the quick one

 

[Pearcy]

Ouch! What happened with the GT40, know the story behind it?

Venturis are cool... in the filename it says 'venturi crash', did it not end up looking as nice as that? :dapprove:

Nah there was no story apart from it being pretty fooked, the engine was salvaged for another project, don't think it ever took off though.

Yeah it's pretty cool, it's the only RHD R400GT in the UK/world theres not many around at all. My dad bought it like this for £5k

then sold it to a mate for 15k, who built it back up over 2 years or something, now it just goes to shows etc, it did a top speed run too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1uu6IQnYCU My dad driving too lol

I've been in it and tbh was expecting more, this was supposed to be the french F40, i'd have thought an F40 would wipe its arse with it tbh.
