Ahhhh so the moral of this story is.....buy a shonky old ashtray and put a reasonably powerful fwd engine in it! Great bet that makes spectacular viewing for the paying public I would rather watch a load of so called 'mediocre' rwd cossies blasting about all day long

There are multiple classes as different things interest different people.

Hence its not called "Spadges entertainment show"

And robs car was built from the ground up from a brand new motorsport shell, so its a bit unfair calling it "a shonky old ashtray"

Yeah and in 1966 england won the world cup, but that doesnt count for fuck all for current events either, Rob was reffering to getting your arse in gear for this one, which you arent, so i dont think the is deserved at all.

I was driving Vauxhall Astra's when they were new back in the 80's and i regarded them as shonky then! I said if you care to read exactly what i put that any of us could buy a shonky Astra and enter it! I did not say 'Anyone could buy YOUR shonky Astra' now did I

Chip why don't you fook off your really starting to irritate me now
If i had wanted to enter totb this year i would have built and car and would have qaulified BUT i do not like the way the event has gone and so it is of no interest to me as well as countless others who enjoyed the 1st 1 or 2!

Indeed!

The "get an shonky astra and chuck a big power engine in it" comment makes as much sense as "get a shonky saph and chuck a big power engine in it" would its the same of any car.

Believe me Chip if i started to feel so strongly that i felt the need to go on about it you would be the 1st to know!
This is a Ford Enthusiasts site so please do not expect everyone to get the hots for shonky Vauxhalls on here as it is unlikely to happen and you may find the odd person who like me isn't keen on them

God arn't we sensitive
If you feel i have disrespected your car in any way then tough get over it!
I don't like Astra's which is why i call them , in general, shonky! Am i not entitled to my oppinion????
Well done on all your hard work you should be commended
Astra's are still imo shonky though!
That better

i dont have a prob with you taking the piss out of vauxhalls but that coment was aimed at my car it was said after a post i made about why my car is competetive

and the coment is about my car as i am the only ''ashtray'' (very original by the way )
there so the moral of te story is based on my car

I wouldn't take offence. Spadge just has a strong dislike of everything EXCEPT cossies.

Bet you hate XR2's too?


Ah well, he could be in love with Nissan Primeras........... They're just dull.......
