We need to petition old Uncle Henry or something because it's criminal that we don't get these cars.

I'd even go so far as to say I'd take one over any Ford except an Escos

I remember some guy started imoporting them but it was a pretty small one man operation....

andy_st200

some bloke is bringing em over.. was in FF or PF few months ago

you cant afford one anyway Jay, so at least its one less thing to moan about not having if you dont have to see them driving around


cool car thouh, but i would sooner have a monaro personally.

Ls2 = sex wee

BlueSmoke

Chip you coont!

Check out this Tickford..... older model but still

Cheap as Chips! So to speak

Iron block and an over complicated engine design, the ford motor just isnt as good as the general motors LS2 in my opinion.

cool car though

BlueSmoke

I never said I didn't like the Monaro

I LOVE the way it has the same engine as the Corvette but with a slightly larger capacity. Probably makes the yank boys cry into their donuts.

I want an LS2 in mine at some point.

That would be my ultimate car i think, my 3 door with the LS2

Might have to see about doing it next winter instead of building up my 200 block for it.

BlueSmoke

That'd be awesome mate, but do you think any of the Vaux mags would dare feature it?

Mongo

Something subliminal in Chips posts.. I really must go out and buy an LS2...

Mind you the for lump produces 500Nm @ 4250rpm got to be fairly happy with that

Total vauxhall will feature vauxalls with engine swaps, but not other makes with vauxhall engines.

So it wouldnt get in a vauxhall mag, but it might get in fast ford again if they have the same policy of not minding if its other make engines (im sure they dont as im posistive ive seen a rover v8 one in there)

Do Total Vauxhall feature Nova saloons with shiny tailpipe extensions and Halfords GT spoilers?

Anonymous

Not that ive seen, featured a few 12 second ones and ones that do in the 8s round the ring though.

Dont go thinking you cant make a performance car out of a nova or you will get a surpise one day when you get waste by one in that stage 3 saph you are planning on getting!

DaveEscos

jog on..

it looks like the bastard lovechild of a mondeo and a suburu!

Damo V

Does look like a scooby

The reason we dont have them is due to EU legislation and the cost of fuel..

neilm

Chimp...... I mean Chip...


At $50,000 australian for the Sedan that equates to less than Ł18,000

At $40,000 australian for the UTE.... that equates to less that Ł15,000

Indeed, but thats still far more than Jay can afford.

P.S

The chimp thing is something boschman use to say, careful he doesnt think you are idolising him by repeating it

neilm

Is that becuase Yes Car Credit have gone under ?

neilm

That is hardly likely to happen..... Phil and I's feud goes back many years...

BlueSmoke

Ironically I almost went to Yes car credit. They accepted me then proceeded to ring me and email me over and over to get me to go down. It was then I realise though that if I went down there and took say, Ł5k and bought a Focus or something similar I'd have no chance of getting a Cossie in the next 5 years as I'd be paying back a ridiculous loan with 30% interest or something around that

Dont EVER go to people like that Jay.

Really is a bad route to take!


Just save the pennies and get your saph and in the mean time just run about in things as cheap as possible.


NeilM you are having a fued? LOL
whats the point in that?

are you having one with me then too as ive noticed you seem to follow me around putting digs in from time to time but TBH i have utterly no idea why as ive no idea who you are and dont know anything about you other than that.

neilm

Not really Chip...

You are just big, ugly and opinionated..... and I just like taking the piss....

Its nothing personal.... honest....


Chip... you seem paranoid that people are following you around.... you seem to be suffering from the same paranoia Phil does.... I guess they only difference is.... people really are following him around

BlueSmoke

Chip, I saw the error of my ways and quickly decided not to go that route, hence buying the Bravo.

Anonymous

Im not paranoid in the slightest, ive just noticed you and phil doing it, it doesnt bother me though, just seems a strange hobby to have, but if it makes you happy, thats all good

Anonymous

And having bought a FIAT, have you once again seen the error of your ways?

BlueSmoke

Well no because I've previously owned 3 Escorts, a mk2 Golf GTi 8v, a Clio 1.8 16v and the only one with half decent build quality was the Golf!

The Fiat is cool mate. Other than the rear wiper motor being dead it's fine. I think I'll knack the clutch up tho as I can't seem to change gear without making the car jerk

Anonymous

In fairness to the brand, ive done 40,000 trouble free miles in my alfa now and havent even needed to change the plugs yet, cant knock it really
