same with quarter miles.... unless its a 10 second car you aint got much of a look in!!!

what is 150 genuine? about 165 speedo?? as when youre young you believe the speedo... the landrover i used to get ran around in used to have a max speed of 50-70... lol depending on where the speedo was bouncing!!

although surprisingly i get loads of comments of cool car... from young uns when im driving about... and its a ropey 16v 2i with a decat and straight through magnex!! lol must be the sound!!
ffs wish it had same effect on the girlfriend who doesnt like been seen in my cars!!

Jim, they probably saw the interior mock up you made, that phone holder must knock 50 mph off your top speed

Lol, no the reason kids of today have been watching too much F&F is the ammount of std Fiesta's, Cavs, and even 3 series BMW's I see with std suspension, wheels with no hubcaps etc but have a dirty great FAST AND THE FURIOUS or 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS front and/or rear screen top sticker's on their fooking cars

Like yesterday. I went out to get a new phone, came hamoe and sat behind an 03 reg Pug 206 at the lights. It was completely std and the base model too (horrid interior, 14" steels with cracked (kerbed) hubcaps etc. It had a horrific TAIL PIPE TRIM (not even a real pipe but the shit you buy from Halfords, slide over and screw on ) and the rear screen plasterd in F&F stickers : "Momo" "Eibach" GReddy" "Blitz" "Sparco" "Yokohama" and a fooking 10inch one on the biddle with the "NOS" logo

What a cock
