Nettleprick - thats right, I haven't said how much I got for the car as to be perfectly honest, it's none of your damn business All you need to know is I got more for it than I paid for it

And I haven't seen Damien's car so can't say if it is a minter or not, spec sounds nice tho. Combine that spec with your logic, I guess it must do 849mph then

The boy was talking utter bollocks and claiming Max Power performance (otherwise known as "Pub BS"). And you'll be lucky to find anybody hanging about at McDonalds as we are all over the age of 17 and don't drive our Mum's cars and I think you'll find most people have grown out of fisty cuffs when we hear something we don't like

Oranoco - w0rd

Ollie - jeez, how many twats does Nettlecock attract to this thread? Anyway, Ollie, did you even read this thread? The twat was claiming 158mph as if it was fact - the RST speedo ONLY GOES TO 140MPH So now do you see the point? I don't feel I should make him look silly for having a race, but I do feel I should make him look silly for lying about the speed, and then telling a hundred more lies to cover himself thru the course of this thread. And lets face it, this chap is in the championship league for making himself look silly without my help!

oh dear. he was having a guess as to what speed he was doing. he never claimed it to be the correct speed. You say u are all adult on here then all u do is put downs. Nah dont use mum's 206 bit poo. we moved on to butger king now. Yes i admit fighting comment was gay and sorry if it offended but silly things wind me up. Hope u all had a wicked new year.

I have to hand it to you - not ever have I seen one person prove themselves to be such a complete dick on a public internet forum without provokation Do you have NOTHING better to do than ressurect a thread that only makes you look MORE stupid? Come on man, if you are gonna ressurect a thread, make it a good one. One that shows how cool you are, or shows you have done something worthy of some achievment.

Not one that makes you look likea cockless fuck-bag

[quote="m_nettleship"]And theres no way in the world that a filter excaust and chip would make 175bhp.


sorry to argue but thats shat. i had mine set up by harvey gibbs on tuesday and with the same mods as you stated mine is making 173bhp.
and thats at the wheels before you go on about transmission loss. oh and on the subject of top speed i had 130mph showing on the clock wednesday night on the northen runway of raf wittering. the perks of being in the forces

i'm not trying to get into an arguement but lets be honest. harvey gibbs is a god on the ford scene and has been for donkeys years. his work is second to none if it weren't then why do so many motorsport teams including ford themselves go to him. i would say his rollers are fairly bang on just based on his reputation alone.
