AROFL

Stil makes me laugh every time!

 

The music even comes up here, being pissed i wonderd wtf had happened but then worked it out

hellish car IMO

 

I couldnt work out what was going on then!!!!

I didnt even click the link & all i could hear was New Order

 

Where did New Order come from?

No, I meant the one where if he was going to build another Saph, these were the bits he'd throw at it.

 

Thought that myself

 

Um!! Mike

Mine would murder it in Low Boost so how can it be the ultimate, still he can dream on I suppose. .

 

Maybe becaue 'ultimate' isn't all about straight line speed?!?!

 

Your car wouldn't even see my dream spec Cossie Sapphire for dust UNLESS it was at Brunters and in a straight line . Power isn't everything .

As to New Order, it has become THE definitive Nurburgring theme tune - all the "in people" know this .

 

PMSL @ Music

 

Ditto

Even my nan can go fast in a straight line!

PS LOSE THE BLUE MONDAY TRACK FFS

 

What, surely not!

Ahh but what colour though Mike!!!!!!

 

PMSL at the music, confused the feck out of me

 

 

forgot the magic tree.........

 

White with gold wheels .

 

Absolutely super

 

It's Mike's trade mark

 

Oh my!!

 

I have to keep looking at this thread.. BUT PLEASE!!! That fucking music

 

There it is mike.............

3 votes makes it official!

 

Thats it! Everbody pile in

 

I'll always remember the look on the guy's face with the Diablo at Donnington when we went past

 

BUNDLES!!!!!!!!

 

Not just ANY Diablo, but a 500+ bhp SV .

Beaten in a STRAIGHT line (and then left for dead) by a shonky 420bhp (T34 at time) .

 

turn the fucking music off

 

420bhp from a T34?!?!?!?! How's that then? i thought a T34 runs out of puff at around 400bhp!

 

In the words of Tommy Cooper, "Just like that" (rounded up to 420bhp for artistic licence ).



Turbos didn't last much longer than 3 months at a time mind you .

 

Ahh................... !

 

i turned limewire off as i thought id accidentally downloaded and turned on that tune! one of my fave saffs that is,awesome,if i earn enough money before i get kids etc ill have that kinda spec on a saff!awesome

 

fooking loved this saff one of the reasons i bought one

 

I thought my pc was hacked witht the music

 

mike's cars arent one trick pony's though rod

 

For once Mike - I totally agree!!...

Rods car is good for one thing only, whereas yours - although slower than mine was far more of a complete package than Rods will ever be - therefore the 'Ultimate'

Obviously the above statement is meant for Saph Cosworth NOT all Sierra Cosworths - otherwise the ultimate Sierra would be mine

 

Would you get 355's under 17" rims with AP 6 pots?

btw,fully agree with your spec,just fit it an oldskool rolling chassis

puddy

Ps.Gotta agree with bruce on this one as well!!
