what is funny though is if you look at an ERA kit the front bumper looks like a squared off saff one
and 3doors have screw on plastic body kit just like 70's mini's so there fore surely we should call the old 3door an RS miniworth or a whale tail like a 78 porsche911 so maybe it should be an RS minipors?????

All joking aside, apparently moby dick tried to sue cosworth because of what they called the rear spoiler on the 3 door.

Even though his did look like it had a centre strut alex

So there you have it! ITS NOT a Cosworth spoiler, they have just used one as a base

So myself and alex are right, they dont look identical

I hope you were offering him a hand job cos threats of violence come with a free 24 hour ban
You know you might be right paddy, with all this winking and stuff too, perhaps he is just a big poof?

Apologies for calling you a violent tool mark, should have just called you a poof.

It wont happen again mate

MWAH!

I think thats the apology he meant alex, maybe he just pressed quote on the wrong post?

Alex
Im in my 30s now sadly, so i take being called a kid a compliment, i assume that this gay fella here knew that i would, and it was part of him flirting again

You're just jealous cause he hasnt promised you a handjob too yet.

He likes pricks, talking about them and apparently also massaging them with his right hand to the point of ecstacy, he is going to do it to me at a passionford meet apparently, but TBH i think that may be a bit in bad taste, probably better if he pays for a hotel for us so we are out of everyones way
