It was based on an xr2i from memory?The dull fuckers put a complete mondeo 2.0l subframe in it with the running gear etc and the wheels looked like they were on at 45 degree angles!!!
Also,at the end of the program when the camera zooms out above,you can see the coolant tank blow all the coolant out,it was pumping up like fuck!!!
Fuck they build some rubbish,WTF was that scooby golf thing?Would have been great if they`d left it looking pretty boggo and tuned it to 350bhp but instead they added 2 tons of shite metal and it only just beat his r32 in the 1/4 mile!!!!

to be honest i think everything they build is ugly as hell... i vaguely remember the indian guy saying he's inspired by pininfarina (when referring to some monstrosity he'd built) and i just thought he must have some sort of eye disability

i cant believe that it has no t&t and may need an sva test,

you could build anything you want and have it looking however you want but if its no road worthy whats the point,

plus the metal they use is about as thick as bernies hair

Probably the one who donated the fiesta.they seem to have a good laugh in there but I can't see the business still going really as the last time it was on the telly was ginolas Porsche (which wasn't actually too bad!!) and that must have been 2-3 years ago now?
