Driving off road sounds awesome though. Plus, I would love to be a rally driver anyway.
I don't suppose you drive a Lancia Stratos do you? :wacko:
No.Quote:

Like this, but mine was white and had chrome bumpers......
Spoiler warning:
Probably the only stuff I've had that would have existed over there........and well before your time :wacko:
2 litre Escort. I'm guessing old style though? I want an Escort Cosworth. :drool:

Why did you get rid of the Fiat 124?

It was a bad time in my driving "career" :lou:Quote:

It also had lowered suspension.......lower than the legal requirement at the time.
Close ratio 5 speed gearbox, and a locked differential (not limited slip.....locked) which had a 4.4 ratio.
I ran 245 width tyres on the rear which filled the wheel wells perfectly.
This meant it didn't have a really high top speed, but was a killer with acceleration :xosmi:
It was pretty quick for an old car.........but wouldn't stand up to decent modern performance cars now.
Sometimes I regret that I sold it.
Yeah, sounds like it would've been worth just keeping in a lock up until you fancied driving it again. :(Quote:

Somebody needs to help BlackCitadel mod his ps2.
He wants to change the usb 1.1 ports for "modern ones".
