I have to agree, I say i hate them, but when ive been away ive wanted to get back to tham asap lol

[Mike]

The only reason i like them is becuase when hooting them down lanes, its the only car i dont give a funk about taking surrounding trees or bush's out with when an oncoming car makes for a tight high speed pass.

[AlexW]

Yer, i agree, nothing much better than flying down backlanes in the summer.

[Mike]

EDIT: Any of you lot ever done the Evo Triangle?

[AlexW]

i know the feeling mike my car is nearly done to and im well bored

Mine is done, and kinda works, but i want another project.

I keep looking at vectras :S


That sounds like a bit of fun mike, I dont know any long backroad trips around me, just the one road to my mates workshop, 15miles and i dont know the time, its even fun in a van! MR2 or nova are even better ofc lol

[Mike]

I would upload a nice rather thrilling 45minute video of one of my adveturos drives (to say the least) but id get flamed to death an still be uploading this time tomorrow lol lol

[Rexy]

[wwmnw]

:( This thread is making me miss my engine that is currently on an engine stand, And i have the smell of luke warm oil in my nose now for some reason as well.

Few weeks and it should be done, But already i have eyed up another Nova that is on sale for £200 that needs a tidy up (usual body panel rust spots) tempted to buy it and drop an XE in it and sell it on, Or use it as a track car.

[Mike]

What to do meh so many shells, so undecided :S

[Rexy]

SLOTH Evo triangle is great matey, I can get you road numbers etc if you want. Becareful mind, it seems to be attracting a lot of attention lately. chris has a few sneaky routes which use part of the triangle, but i love the single track stuff nothing more funn that doing 100 down a lane in the middle of the night with trees and walls about 2 metres each side.

If you want a map sloth let me know, its dead easy to find. do it late on, as bikers use it too and well it slows you down a little.

[16v Nova Kev]

What to do meh so many shells, so undecided :S

i went to see a g plate gte last night rolling shell no engine guy wants 120 the shell is quite solid a bit better than my k plate ahh dont know what to do :wtf:

[L14MNP]
