Really?

Can someone else do the honours as I can't be arsed..........



Okay, it's a little bit of misinformation. The chatter is nothing to do with the wastegate. It's called turbo chatter, and a few pedantic types like myself like to pick people up on it regularly.....

Do you have a nice word to say about anything other than M3's?

People like you are the reason I got shot of my 3 series.

This week, someone on MLR after watching a vid someone posted of an Evo with very loud turbo chatter competing in a rally, said 'that's how he wanted his dump valve to sound'

this is the lastest coment on there, your all skum by the way

I'd rather see the people in the video maimed or dead than carrying on with crap like we saw on that clip. They might actually harm someone of value to our society while they race around public roads in their shite cabrio thinking they are 'the man'- in the event they or their cronies from the crappy Ford site ever read this, you are pond life, scum and your vehicles are a joke. Elizabeth Duke motors for scummy neds

Well it's fair enoughI mean Subaru's are the fastest thing out there aren't they and oh so classy. Did I mention a mate got a clean 93 WRX for 1600 quid last Summer? That makes it worth less than half of my 89 Ford Escort. I wish most Subaru owners would fuck off as so many have a chip on their shoulder and have serious delusions of grandure.

Mind you their chips and shear disbeleif that anything can keep up with them make them oh so much fun to bring back down to earth with a very hard bump.

Ah, that old chestnut. I'm afraid most Ford owners are just as guilty of that one..

Ford owners don't seem nearly as guilty of it though (with some exceptions)

Just makes me laugh when you hear comments of "You're jelous" or "You can't afford one" etc

Some people seem to think that we play with Fords as they are the best we can afford. I play with Ford because I love them.

That's what always makes me laugh. I'm 32 this year and certainly aspire to drive something a little more than a Mk4 Escort, but I just cannot replicate the driving experience I get with the RST. I could probably afford to take a classic Scooby to 500bhp with what I have spent on the RST, but I bet money that my RST would still give me FAR FAR more of an adrenaline rush to drive.

nope, personally i would rather drive an xr2 than an evo. i'd like the speed etc of the evo and it goes without saying that the evo is in a different league. but, had one as a family car when i was a youngun and ever since liked them.

I see what Petermintrst is saying. He's not saying the XR2 is the better car just that he prefers it.

i see what he's saying... its all about what you prefer. i'd have my sapphire over any evo, not because its better, just because its what i like. i've driven evo's and scoobs along with alot of other jap machinery and its all very nice, but its not the old skool ford feeling that i've grown to love.

the only jap car i want is my old 323 turbo 4x4! i loved it, the 80's controls, the shoddy bodywork and the fact it went off the clock with ease!

With regard to this comment , surley the scooby driver should be just as guilty then for having a go with Alex. It would seem that the person who made this comment never has any tussles with any other car on the road. Must be a perfect driver .
Like it has been said , 4 years after it was originally posted , it is still creating a reaction.

I just wish you lot would stop getting in my way

C&B's car is (I await to be corrected) 1600 CVH 8v running just over 300bhp with almost as much torque. I beleive it runs Omex engine management. It was built for top speed as that's what they wanted to build it for rather than outright acceleration.


Quick Reply: Is this anyone off here in this scooby chase vid?
