I love fast cars. This is my 3rd. I figure, pretty soon we will all be driving some electronic tiny slow peace of crap so why not enjoy it while I can....

Yesturday I won 3 street races....hell I figure if you have one, don't be a pussy. Drive it! 696 when empty is my race way! I got it up to 120 the other day...whoo hoo!

I love that highway. I heard it was used in a video game?

Either way I hear it is a popular expressway for sports cars. I once saw a lamborgini on it!

So this girl yesturday would not race me...she drove to slow and timid....she had this mustang gt....why have one if you wont go fast? What a waste. I bet she has never had that thing up to 80 even.

But I did cheat with my eyes. (sorry Crimson Heathen. thats what I named him heh...my car is a boy)

I saw this and wanted to drive it soooo bad.....and the driver toyed with me a bit....it was fun.

I usually don't like dodge but this car is hot.

Dare I say....its a sexy car?

But still I love Camaros...

These new Impalas and Monte carlos look good too.....

Love it when they go from 0-60 in a few seconds. Find the feeling of all that power at my finger tips exciting.

in dark blue. yes i want one. but not the fuel bill

current unique car thoughts:

cortina Mk3 2 door saloon.

HUGE engine bay and some south african versions (cortina SAVAGE)had the essex V6 in them (lovely lovely growl and a lot of torque)

thinking converting to cologne V6 (less torque, more BHP but more importantly less wieght as the essex V6 versions understeered like a bitch) or a modern ford Zetec and tuning that on a ford Capris gearbox

lower suspension and improve geomitry and rear suspension, increase the arch and put slightly beefier looking wheels. a british charger that seats 3 comfortably without sacrifice on looks.

but lately triumph TR7's and TR8's are tempting. have no idea why though.

[Homicidalheathen]

Interesting.

I found this in wikopedia

The Cortina was Ford's mass-market midsize car and sold in enormous numbers, making it common on British roads.

if it werent for a few things.

the items which arent otional extras like:

rust

void bushes in rear that perish

rust

paper thin metalwork

rust

cast iron engines.

fords rust they rust BAD, always have and always will. 2-3 years down the line expect to see the paintwork bubbling around arches and sils i have a rather neglected Peugeot thats 12 years old. its rust free, so was the abused 1988 peugeot i owned until last year (it ate another gearbox) so i tend to stick to them.

evenb now there are some fords i wouldnt touch. IE ford KA's some models will rot the sparkplugs out after 10,000 liles (even 40,000 mile plugs) as thier seated in "crap collecting pockets" on the cylinder head. when checking the plugs at a 10K service just to be sure the plug had unbeknownst rotted so bad that i imediatly snaped the top of the lug off. i had to pull the head off to clear any crap that may have fallen in the cylinder and extract the remains of the plug, i changed the rest while the head was off having to extract another plugs remnants then. re-skim the head and put it back on. not what i wanted to do.

I like my Mazda ... especially my new red one.

[Head Wreck]

lies, she asked me aqbout exporting a ford KA or streetKa

[Scary Guy]

If I ever get the money and find that car it is MINE. I WILL RECREATE IT!

[Rayne]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

::::Runs screaming:::::

Wait, the little convertible roadster isn't too bad ... kinda like a oval-ier Miata, oh sorry they changed the name, MX-5.

Is it just me or do all Ford products resemble oval's?

You're forgetting one thing, HW. The majority of us are from Michigan, the state with the road commision that likes to use WAY too much salt during the winter. ALL cars rust bad here.

HH, it has nothing to do with the car you're driving. I kept up with a Mustang for a good quarter mile in that shitbox Omni I used to have. The thing was 17 years old, and it could sprint with a car that was less than half it's age.

[Head Wreck]

okay, we have salted roads. i'm also smack between the coast and a mountain. it rains and drizzles a lot

ands agreed on what you have doesnt have to be new. look at the jag XJS V12's thier still kicking ass on trans america racing and thier not new cars by far.

i had a 1.4 1988 litre pug 205 (not the GTi or the 1.9 GTi, but a plain std pug TUV unit with a citreon gearbox for the TUV) that could accelerate as fast as the 4 litre beemers (upto 60 anyhow)
