Fair do's Rod

Topspeed isn't annoying, the bickering and sniping that is. I was on your side before you lowered your crosshairs to me

I'm not really interested in topspeed or drag times with any of my own cars, but i am very interested in others efforts.

Don't be so touchy, seriously, not everyone is against you, MAD or your cars efforts. I wouldn't compete but i would support anyone that is, who wouldn't? It's a petrol head thing isn't it? J
ust because people don't do something, it doesn't mean they don't follow it or respect the efforts.

A lot of aggro on these threads could be avoided with a touch more tact.

Was just gonna be another same old bitchy thread....and then THAT boring old pic come out. The first one didn't bother me, it was the original one. It's like pictoral chinese water torture

Was trying to make a point about it being enough, just stop the bitching and stop that pic

Relax Rod, not everyone is against you mate.

14x52=728
60000/728=82.42

So Ł82.42 a week. (if going for a Ł60k price)
Dayum, I'll have it for that!

60K seems realistic to me.

Obviously the number of people prepared to spend that much on an escort in one hit are limited.

But I bet some people out there who have spent that much modifying their own will be kicking themselves, lol
