Things You See at Work

[MC]

Some of you may be aware that Jim, CP and myself run a business together making and installing automated gates and garage doors. Well in our time we've been to some rather nice houses and seen some special motors from Ferraris to Maybachs, Porkers to Bentley, you get the idea. Well the other day we were set to automate a garage door of a relatively humble house and found this lurking inside:

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg54/MC1978gti/090920081151.jpg

The most interesting car yet :D . I believe it should be pushing out around 230-240bhp from the X16XEL.

It belongs to Broster a.k.a. Mark @ Jamsport.

[Stuart]

that tart is having automated garage doors fitted! what a lazy git lol

[Spudly]

That looks cool for a corsa lol

Im liking the carbon inner wings as they usually just have open space there dont they?
Makes it look much better/stronger imo:thumb:

[craig green]

I've been waiting to see this finished in its next guise. Last I saw it, was when it was still parked in Jamsports premises in a TV feature, so it must've progressed a little, even if only down the road.

Mad engine though. Bet it will sound cool at full chat.

[MC]

that tart is having automated garage doors fitted! what a lazy git lol

Its the way forward. Jim and CP both feel the benefit of home automation, and I will follow. Mine will be set to open and turn on the downlighters to illuminate the beast. I was going to include a smoke machine but Jim thought that was going too far. lol

[Stoo]

Lots and lots of these

One of my customers had the following list of cars on his drive:

Maybach
Ferrari F430 spider (They paid an extra £30k to have it shipped on a friday rather than wait till monday)
Bentley Continental Soft top
SL65 AMG
M3 CSL
S class
RX8
Some random Lexus and a few other staff cars.

The fact that they pointed that out to anyone tells me one thing!

[MC]

The fact that they pointed that out to anyone tells me one thing!

They didn't, the cheuffer (sp) did.

[MC]

Now I like that engine bay :) a nice set of bodies mmm

By the way the numberplate is whited out but I think its on the wall lol

Noticed as soon as I posted, couldn't change it quick enough before someone pointed it out! lol

[Ben]

They must have told the chaffuer!

[Stuart]

They didn't, the cheuffer (sp) did.

that must have been a nice kick in the balls for him to know they probably paid more than his annual salary to have a car sent to them 3 days early as they are impatient ****s lol

[Breeny]

Has Mark still got the corsa? He's such a chav...

Tell him I said elo the next time you see him, haven't seen the homo in years!

big fan of brosters car.. ive envyed that engine for years. Is that bhp figure equaiting to 150bhp-per litre ish??
Are these X16XEL's handier to mod than the usual X16XE? or is it just because theyre newer?
