Sorry if its a repost.

 

i wondered that too lol.

 

Why is it not all that Carlo?

what do you know about the car?

 

whats the score with it? not his?not 800bhp?(very likely)

 

The owner is the biggest shite talker ever he did try race against andrew & charlie

 

He goes to knockhill it is his car but it dosent go worth a monkeys

 

you don't like him then Carlo lol.

 

Dave you just need to listen to him im sure a few other scottish boys will comment when they see the thread

 

i think derrick believes some of the shit that he talks himself thats the scarey bit.
tbh i think carlo is being polite about him
just ask fuzzy on here about him

 

a was wondering how long it would take before someone posted up about this car . as can remember the last post about it , av never seen it run but heard ALOT of stories bout it and all........BAD

 

Seen it at the hill once and Crail a good few times , most of the time he had problems with it but the day it did seem to run clean it still only run 12's.

 

here i am, he built my cossied bmw and made a complete cunt of it with wiring melting and burning causing complete engine failure at motorway speeds, 3 turbos rebuilt by himself blowing within 8 months and general all round shoddy workmanship that cost me many more ŁŁŁ';s to put right. hes a pleasant enough guy but talks pure shite and cant live up to his own hype.

 

he also took me around knockhill in his black 3 door that was allegedly 550bhp, it was fast but not 550bhp fast, probably nearer 400 but a copule of laps around the track and it was overheating and spewing oil all over the place.

 

he even thinks he has healing hands that can heal any ailments you may have by giving you a shoulder rub? what a fooking wierdo

 

i think i remember his black car, got a bit of stick when selling that too iirc.

 

The healing hands thing is funny

 

i take it youve had the same bullshit then?

 

What fuel does it run on to be taking a couple of bar of boost at 12.5:1 compression?

 

I was wondering that! Thats a very high comp. engine, surely runs race fuel with toulene or something

 

with?

should think it would need to be nothing but toluene

 

I think if you take peoples opinions of the guy and the BHP claim out of this, it looks like a pretty well specced car? Certainly has had some cash thrown at it and has a good list of parts.

Wonder what the reserve is and what it will fetch?

........and to be fair, I doubt there is many (if any) Escos's that could compete with Andy/Charlie around Knockhill so that's not really a benchmark either?

 

no denying it seems well speced but knowing first hand how limited his abilities are when taking things apart i would be wary of spending big cash on anything he's built.
i got so sick of taking my fooked car back to him to repair that i gave up and paid someone else to do things properly and threw away his 3 times 'rebuilt' turbo and bought a brand new one instead.

 

12.5:1 compression is well specced for big power car?

 

yeah

















































if it was n/a

 

True, i doubt it is that so took that with a pinch of salt to be honest.

Still say its got lots of good stuff and comparing its pace to AG is pointless.

I think if we knew the reserve price it would be more interesting

 

Polly, agreed there is a lot of bits of value there.

 

he always used to go on about how he prefered high comp engines and how better they performed compaired to the more accepted 'normal' methods of cosworth tuning. he felt he was a ground breaking leader going this way.

 

I have seen it going a few times.

As carlo says it just looks like 300 bhp when its going round KH.
I have seen it at crail where it did go alot better, maybe 400 tops.

 

Some moron at TDI was telling me the same story once upon a time

 

Polly I am sure Carlo will correct me if wrong but, Andy and Charlie challenged him round the hill long before they had the Focuses, Did some one not beat him at crail with 370bhp escort one day when he was up giving it billy big bollocks?

 

Ahhh that tit from Carnwath Ace Performance or summit


True lengend of a mongo fuckwit

I have never seen that cossie drive clean as it always seriosly missfires like buggery lol

Deffo only performs half the power he claims at a very push

 

yes, hes derek hastings, the owner of said company, they also refurb alloys to a high quality finish that i can surpas with a rattle can spray paint

 

saw this last night and was surprised there werent a thread up about it.

 

Even up close the car is a dog if he said 500bhp it wouldnt be as bad but the 800 bhp claim is a farce he must think everyone is daft.

 

Lol, this is very close to home!

I've seen it at knockhill a few times, and it doesn't go anything like either Andrew or Charlie's cars.

 

for the spec listed, what is a more believable power?

 

Seen it at crail.

The car isn't that clean, and it was running high 12's iirc. which is a joke for 800bhp

Never spoke to the guy so cant comment on his bullshit but still, he must be on a planet of his own if he insists its 800 horse.

 

Wonder what it will make?

 

Never clicked the link and knew right away who it would be,heard loads of stuff about the guy,ALL bad.

 

perhaps he fancies you?
