Default you can take the bloke out of the cosworth.......

But you evidently cant take the cosworth out of the bloke.

I witnessed an illegal road race tonight between two members of this forum.

In a vectra (1.8?) and a Citreon VTR of all things


The nutter in the vectra was the one doing the late braking on the way into the roundabout, and hence taking the lead, after that they were gone and sensible me was too far back to witness it any further.

Most entertaining to watch thought

Well other than the logbook and the number plates, its impossible to tell it apart to be fair, but if Doug Stirling ever heard me call it a cosworth, he'd never let me live it down

nice car

...sort of

needs some sort of splitter as front end looks bare, like its missing something, especially with it having the '500' bumper.

what happened to the top spoiler on the actuall 500? was it a real 500 or a rep aswell (never know with you and this fake one... )

...and i think it needs some ambers on the front, or clears on the sides and back so its matching all round

but obviously you dont care what i think so its fine as it is

p.s. vid is a bit chav

500 was a real one, but the spoiler was nicked before I got it, and replaced with a 3door one.

The bits that were nicked were before I got it.

They nicked the engine and rear spoiler, engine was replaced with a 200 block motor and the tailgate (they nicked whole thing) was replaced with a 3 door one.
