The ultimate bad taste car award goes to................................................ ..........

A Ford Probe. 2 litre in blue with silver flames down the side and a rather crappy alloy rear wing on the back!!!!!:eek:
Some of you must have seen this pile of **** around Hull way! I actually slowed down as I passed him cos I was laughing so much:D The thing that made it worse was that it was still on standard alloys and looked like it had been mugged and abused by some Lax Flower readers:D :D

Stupid sod driving must have thought I was checking out his wicked ride. Why do people do stuff like this? Somebody should drive him off the road and do us all a favour, laughing hard is dangerous at speed you know.:rolleyes:

Wicked innit.

I saw a totally standard Mondeo the other week with a feck off evo spoiler on the back:confused:

Then theres a standard 1.4lx Escort with a ginormagantic WRC front valance/splitter to compliment the otherwise standard bodywork.

They MUST be doing this for a dare or some sort of TV gameshow.

If not they need to be shot ASAP:D

probes make me think anal!

especially 2.0l 16v with them really ****e 3 spoke jobbies!!

i give some respect to the 2.5 v6 24v seeing as it is book to 60 as 6.9 just .2 slower than the s13 book

but still think they are gay

someone in village neer me has a 16v one in silver big whale tale and has got like a sharkish type looking kit on it, and he's tried to make it look like it has a phat fmic, obviously not cuz hes a cheap skate so wudn't of had it turboed let alone all the work invovled to do that and then put an fmic on it. funny thing is all the nova and cavalier boys "big him up" for his phat car?? i mean he can't get away form my 1.4l rover very easily!! 16v standard is 10.5 to 60 and my rover is 11.1 !!!!

Yes, they ARE gay.

But 8.0 or a bit more to 60.

6.9? No.

Is that sutton coldfield?


We have a NOVA 1.3 SR :rolleyes: with a wide(ish) arch kit and stupid allow wing. It must be so heavy I'm surprised it can move. The best bit is the std alloys that are hidden away under the arches!!!

It depends on whether it had the Canadian Duratec engine in. That was alot quicker than the europe engine that got put in later. They were quite rapid in a straight line
Still sh1te though
Why am I defending them?!:confused:

Yeah sorry when at ford we knew it as the canadian engine cos of parts differences. It was the Mazda engine until they put the 2.5 sh1ty europe spec engine in it

i still just love the fact hat people driving the 2l 16v ones drive with the attitude that its a quik sports car and it's really not much quiker than a 1.4 rover!!!!

And that spoiler actually came off thew back of a powerboat......:D :D :D

I think you have the wrong Stu, if I'm not mistaken - it's Stuymac who, confusingly perhaps, also had a red S13 with after market spoiler, who decided to go the saloon way...
