anyone off here, called Lee, and is a mechanic on Chop Sop (discovery channel) - said he has an XR2 that will outplace a Ferrari

 

I think the fact the he works for those fuckwits says VOLUMES about the ferrari beating XR2. I've had a few nippy XR2's, but ferrari beaters? Maybe an Old Dino, thats broken...

 

what a numpty

 

whats wrong with chopping springs you fussy bugger, so they fell out before they even made it off the trailer!!! lol!!!

 

Chop Shop....what The Fuck??? ARE THESE CUNTS SERIOUS???

 

hahah, how much filler!!!

 

i remember being given an old fast ford or similar mag from the 80's and they had a mk1 xr2 and a ferrari on the front cover, and in the test it was quicker, was proper madly modded though obviously

 

I hate that chop shop programme and that lee poo or whatever hes called is a tit...

 

Bahaaaaaaaa

 

He does come on here quite often .....
you will probably find that the show director has asked him to say his XR2 is as fast as a Ferrari!
Lee is actually a really nice fella who knows his stuff- a genuine ford enthusiast..
As well as his XR2.. he also has a nice saph...

 

Was he there when rather than doing the normal conversion on the 2 ltr fiesta they did that abortion with the mondeo subframe.

 

no only joined on part 2 of the Saab build...
I think you will find that they will be doing things a little better now Lee is there to be honest...

hope so,
couldnt be much worse than there usual level of cluelessness

 

 

I cant beleive they put that shit on tele! they look terrible.

 

I can't believe they think folk will buy the cack they've churned out.

 

What makes me laugh is that the man hours and cost of stuff like that spray job goes into a mut of a car.

His cars may have been admired in bangladesh, but over here that average car isn't a datsun

 

With the ammount of filler & shity welds i would like to see the cars 1 year on after our weather has got a hold of them..They will be all cracked & bubbled.They really are scrap coys were advertising a few of last years abortions

 

met lee at fitp he likes his fords
thy used info off my m8s site for the capri thay did

 

What makes me laugh is the wheel spacers they use, they are always 6inches....wtf lol


PS. im called Lee but i dont own an XRpoo or work for those tits

 

there is no way martin kemp paid anything for that shitbox!! usual tv bollox, he will have got it free for appearing,imo

 

I did laugh when they sorted their boot issue by using a roof skin. Only to end up adding more weight forcing them to use hydralics to lift it. On their first attempt with Martin there, that didn't work either.
Anyone else pick up on the fact that Martin mentioned the car had to be ready for the GT racing at Rockingham, even though Bernie was still there and not spoken to him about it.
I want the car black....... bugger it, I designed it... I'll paint it silver! Nothing like keeping your customer happy!!

 

was gonna say about tht,should of just put the engine in and left the box and subframe alone
superb toe in

 

would be great to see lee, not saying i dont believe you as i know its possible

 

dont think he was, you remember the camber? , shows the difference his made, he's converted a full scoobys running gear into a gold and looked normal till lepu touched it unlike lepus fiesta which tbh looked fucked and made a pigs ear or a simple conversion lol

 

cheers mate dident say whitch ferrari did i i was told to say this but my xr2 did a 13 sec down the pod on road tyres i can show u vid if u want and i drove it there and 50 mile round trip to work monday building a fast car any mug can do but make it reliable

 

cheers mate

 

does look like they made a good job of fitting the scooby running gear to the golf. i also liked the jet 1 rover rep they built. things are improving

 

 

There was a nice white Saff in the background of some of the shots during the Golfaru episode.

Seems like he knows his shit and the gamble with that Subaru paid off.......just!

JK

 

well i think the program is excellent, interesting and nice to see different stuff being done

the capri was the bollcoks

 

Id sooner what Ed china polish Mike Brewers turds

 

So is this the REAL Lee on here then?? XR2 Turbo lhd??

If so, don't stress mate, I asked a question as to if your were a member to the site being a ford man, and repeated what was said on the show, didn't claim you said which ferrari? or even comment on if it was true? makes no odds to me.

Matt

 

Yes I can confirm that "XR2Turbo lhd" is the Lee from chopshop!

 

Ultra reliable if it did 50 miles Fair play

 

must say the capri did look the bollocks

 

so is it worth wathcing then now Lee has arrived?

I did see a few of the old episodes and the cars looked terrible!!

If things are getting good again I might have to series link it!

 

thats every day

 

so lee, how much of the show is 'real' & how much is just made up for tv. also how good actually is lepus work, i dont mean the look of it but the quality. does the finish look good or is it all wonkey up close?
