Kinda considering some cheap 24v fun to be more like Jim Gallbally

Been looking on ebay at Xr4x4s but cant find owt reasonable...lennie has offered me his at a good price etc...and im tempted

Who knows what its like? And what they are like? never looked into the cos 24v before so know fook all...

Sorry len dont take offence mate just want 2nd opinions as its a long way to come to you mate

 

ive seen this car alot and it has to be said if anything ive never seen such a clean cossie

the interior is out of that bloke who had the moonstone rouse replica that dropped a knuckle ( cant remeber his name but you should know him)

its a very nice car and tbh if it wasnt 4wd is would have been sold AGES ago

my mate was gonna swop his 325i bmw for it,,,,, but i never told him about it until i bought the bmw off him first ( ha ha ha ha,,,, cant mix money with mates )

its a seriously nice car,,,,, ver very good replica and decent power for a normal car


sounds interesting when giving it beans too


hope that helps,,,, oh and even though lennie is a mate where not "mates" where i would lie about a car for him

 

cheers Bal. I hope lennie dont take offense with this post but ya got to get opinions like when traveling especially!

Hmm might go for it....

whats up with it being 4x4..? At that power no probs will occur or dya mean for power at wheels loss?

 

i mean that its got a nice grunty v6 engine so jims car loves to go sideways


lennies just seems to get traction


aint got a clue what the price is but a white 24v CLEAN AND MINT replica qith rwd would have been sold straight away

he bought it with 4x4 as its rarer and so never wanted ton change it to 2wd ( think hes also gay too tbh )


its nothing like a xr4x4 btw,,,,, its a decent quick car that chucks you back in your seat

and lennie is also a chap that looks after anyone ( hes done me sooo many favours its unreal )

go for it mate, you wont regret it i promise

 

i think i just might Bal TBH....

 

Have also seen this car down southend and at ford fair very nice looking saph

and sounds sweet

 

Lennie is a good bloke and after driving Jims at Southend and getin the arse out in the wet lol shudda seen his glasses steam up lol i wud go for Lennies, PROPER clean motor i wudda bought it and made it a proper cossie but the engine is nice and not worth taking that car apart as long as it goes to a good home it wont let ya down

(accepts Ł50 from Lennie)only messin

 

Speaking of Galbally where is he? Don't think i've seen him post for a while!

 

He posted the other day, on another 24v thread.

I said the same after he posted.

Steve.

 

i've seen this car when jim turned up at the berks group rolling road day in the summer.

visually very nice on the outside, but engine bay could do with a little tidying. the exhaust fell off on that day too iirc, but they have been down to the galbally jinx rather than anything more sinister.

that's my honest opinion and memory of it. sorry if it bothers anyone

 

no honesty is the best policy how come jim had the car and not lennie suprised it dint set fire pmsl

 

as for 24vs 4x4s had mine running for just over 3 years, and aslong as you dont want to tune it, it wont cost much to running, oil and filters and it'll be good. if something bad did happen (chain snaped etc ) the complete running mot'less granadas can be had for under Ł200, for a replacement lump + make most back by breaking on ebay

good economy, tons of grip, a touch over 200bhp, insurance cheep well was under 400 fc @ 25 for me ( adrianflux )

 

Fil

nah wouldnt wanna tune it mate Otherwise id just buy a cos

 

Lee, Jim had the car as i was at a wedding!!

Its chipped already, and as nick says, lil untidy ( mainly dirt!) under the hood!


BTW im Net less for a week or so so im going to be on my mobile!

also its got to be inspected to have the plate removed...

what's the 4x4 system on this comprise of?

I read it has Cossie brakes, so does it have the cossie hubs and running gear?

just seen it on ebay. Very interested, but only if it goes cheap

 

sorry m8.. it wont be that cheap judging by what its shot up too!"

 

AFAIK the car needs nothing.

compared to mine it's much much nicer to drive as it's more sensible and comfy. just not quite as quick in a straight line due to the 4wd

i prefered driving lennies then i did driving mine, but i think mine is more fun round a track, bit more "exciting"
