I think the fact the he works for those fuckwits says VOLUMES about the ferrari beating XR2. I've had a few nippy XR2's, but ferrari beaters? Maybe an Old Dino, thats broken...

He does come on here quite often .....
you will probably find that the show director has asked him to say his XR2 is as fast as a Ferrari!
Lee is actually a really nice fella who knows his stuff- a genuine ford enthusiast..
As well as his XR2.. he also has a nice saph...

What makes me laugh is that the man hours and cost of stuff like that spray job goes into a mut of a car.

His cars may have been admired in bangladesh, but over here that average car isn't a datsun

I did laugh when they sorted their boot issue by using a roof skin. Only to end up adding more weight forcing them to use hydralics to lift it. On their first attempt with Martin there, that didn't work either.
Anyone else pick up on the fact that Martin mentioned the car had to be ready for the GT racing at Rockingham, even though Bernie was still there and not spoken to him about it.
I want the car black....... bugger it, I designed it... I'll paint it silver! Nothing like keeping your customer happy!!

dont think he was, you remember the camber? , shows the difference his made, he's converted a full scoobys running gear into a gold and looked normal till lepu touched it unlike lepus fiesta which tbh looked fucked and made a pigs ear or a simple conversion lol

does look like they made a good job of fitting the scooby running gear to the golf. i also liked the jet 1 rover rep they built. things are improving

There was a nice white Saff in the background of some of the shots during the Golfaru episode.

Seems like he knows his shit and the gamble with that Subaru paid off.......just!

So is this the REAL Lee on here then?? XR2 Turbo lhd??

If so, don't stress mate, I asked a question as to if your were a member to the site being a ford man, and repeated what was said on the show, didn't claim you said which ferrari? or even comment on if it was true? makes no odds to me.
