Being serious for a mo !!
Have never compared my car to any other Marque as is of no interest to me. This Topic was about the Rockets 200mph run not mine.
If a car with 2 more cylinders & a lot more capacity cant go a lot faster than mine , then they have real probs.
Only ever tried to be best of Breed in my case RWD Cossies. Only got involved cos you guys called me 'chicken' when i did & Kicked butts , i get called worse so spose i cant win.
My car would go very much faster if that was my aim, but i always limit what Mark wants to do because its a road car & I sometimes use it for work, hence noisy 25speed gearboxes, weight loss & crap drivability from a race engine aint what i want.
I find it amusing that such a relatively low spec machine can actually be fastest Cossie, thats a joke surely .
Instead of Knocking me, cos i return shite for shite, You guys should be building machines to challenge the Skylines. Its too late for me to do it but if I was 30 i would be attempting to do just that. Steve Scott is building a specialist machine & I would never compare my car to something like that it would be an insult to Steve.
To even be accused of comparing my car to the mighty Skylines i take as an honour & shows just how sucessfull my car has been.
This type of banter with youngsters like you is great fun & long may it continue, well until September anyway.
BUT
Please dont think you know me, cos you dont & no offence but you would never be the type of person i would be aquainted with. .
This is PF world & only a few thousand people in the whole world has ever heard about it.
Rod
Rod as were being Serious

You do compare your cars to others and bikes and you know it and its that I have the problem with .

Everyone on this site and indeed anyone who passionate about Fords will have heard of your cars achievements so why keep bringing it up ???

Ive never once called you a chicken so quite where that comes from Ive no idea and whos comparing your car with Skylines ??? I seriously doubt that there will ever be a cossie that can do a timed 238mph run or a mid 7 second quarter

You have your own reasons for doing what you do and if I have half the get up and go YOU have when I reach 60 then Ill be a proud man although I hope Im more humble than you

As for association then on that score we can agree on something

All thats left to say basically is good luck with what your trying to achieve and when it happens instead of reminding everybody just sit back and relax and basque in the glory that will follow

Rod I DONT need to use the search engine because just off the top of my head I know youve compared your car to Gareth Lloyds Escort , youve compared your top speed to a Hyabusa even though in actual fact your were wrong about it
And when your not doing that your telling us about has fast in gear it is

and to echo what Martin said ....... when you do it as Ive no doubt you will then please tell us ............... but for the love of god just the once yeah ?!

Phil - just laughing at something that was genuinely funny.

Actually, maybe we should switch it round - you never EVER seem to shut up about your car either, so maybe you're aligned yourself with the right people
