I would however like to let you know that however much you would like to ridicule me, i am quite proud to have managed to drag it to a 0-60 time of 5.88 last year at ford fair. Oh and yes it is FRONT wheel drive.
Anyway i'm sure someone will see fit to ridicule that time as well but like i said, i haven't come on here to either argue or cause a problem, as i'm sure you all like your cars whatever they may be, i happen to like mine.
To show that i am a fair bloke i will even post a few pics up here for you if you like. All i ask is you at least accept that if we all had the same taste then our cars would be very mundane.
lol Rhinopower, no i won't be taking anyones soul tonight.

tbh I wouldnt mock the 0-60 at all, thats pretty good from a fairly heavy fwd car for sure. and also tbh, I can't help but have a laugh at the styling of the car either, because it is, to the average person, very very funny. I am sure you are used to it in anycase. I know it brightened up a boring queue for me and my mate. And much as I take the piss, I do respect that everyone has different tastes, I am certain most people dont like my fiesta. I am sorry though, a devil themed Ford Probe with Pentagrams on the wheels and a badge saying hellbat is always gonna crack me up, I cant be alone on that.
At the end of the day, live and let live. (and please dont take my soul to hell)

TDI tune cars from all over the world Nomader, they also tune cars for the lotus cup mate. They are far from a micky mouse outfit. They also build engines to your specifications, unfortunately my pocket isn't that deep.

I never said they were, it was a genuine question!
I have to say, for me, in pics its pretty bad, but it isnt the worse thing i have ever seen. Its just the name I think, it just properly cracks me up, i am sorry, I cant help it.

You might find this interesting ???
Note this is Wheel horse power, not at the flywheel.
Guess where the nitrous cuts in..... lol.
Standard ecu has been thrown over the shoulder and megasquirt fitted which has massive advantages when running nitrous, also if you are forced induction.

I don't know how the girl managed to drive that Capri without a bag over her head, I wouldn't want to be seen dead in that
I don't dislike Probes at all either, but some of them are IMO shockingly modified - seems most of the other modded Fords have gone away from the Max Poo style of modding (unless they were all pimping it up at USC )

I never do
The bloke needs a serious talking to.
I would be embarrased to take a shit in it, or trailor it to the scrap yard, let alone drive the fucking thing.
Does the owner live in a caravan or some sort of mobile community!?
Or is he a bit 'special' ?

They didn't do any work on my engine mate, i did it with help from other probe owners. The building of the megasquirt ECU, rewiring of loom and installation of Wizards of nos 'wet' nitrous system. TDI set up my fuel and spark maps on megasquirt, so they tuned it basically and i can speak first hand that they have done a good job with my car, whatever other people might say.

At last - now i know how they recycle all the cereal boxes that go in my grey recycling bin. They make shit bodykits with them. Will have to try a DIY kit on my Mundano, make it look shitter than it already does.
