Tell him to fuck off and laugh at the fact he put a red top in a Belmont , I'd say cabby would win but the xe is a very good engine

I would tend to agree so it's probably best you just tell him to fuck off and eat shit or something equally as childish,it appears that he isn't very grown up anyway.

Just fire out "Haha, you drive an Astra Belmont... fuck off Grandpa" as your reply, then never speak to him again. Ever.


Cheers,

oh dear, someones been watching too many biker boys/fast a furioius type shite. anyway, reshell into a escort, the cab isnt the best handling car by all accounts. i know little about that type of ford engine but im reckon the red top is a killer mill. its a shame its in a belmont. summary, two good engines in not such good shells. still, id take a cab over the belmont anyday, purel;y on looks. if your confident your a fast smooth driver, hp isnt the be all. its doable. a drive a micra with a fucked throttlebody and still on a particular bit of road can shake off a colleague with a vectra tdi, one of the newer ones. its a nice car and should easily lose me but the driver isnt much cop.
alternatively, by a sensible car with all mod cons and grow up.
ford ftw, best of luck
