Fester and co

I appear to have possibly said some things that have been mis-interpretet on your boards by some of your members.
I can only offer my apologies.

I'd originally gone to do some research for a friend of mine who actually owns a rather nice Nova.
He was interesting in modding his vehicle and asked me about it.
I found some of the articles very interesting.

I can assure you that at no point were any comments made to be deliberately malicious or scathing.
I hope that most of the comments that I did make were add some additional knowledge to your crew and give a slightly different viewpoint onto some of the existing.
For example the discussion about whether to add a turbo to a Nova 1.4. I felt it rather appropriate to mention that spending ?2500 on an engine conversion for car that would then need uprated brakes, suspension etc seemed a little odd when you could buy a Supra turbo for less.

Again, no maliciousness meant. Hope you'll accept my apologies.

Hey man, I have no probs with apologising. I hadn't realised I'd caused offense, certainly none intended.

As mentioned, a friend of mine has a Nova (1.4sr) and had asked me thoughts on what to do next. I was surprised by just how nippy his car was on a backroad, gotta love it.

My comments were made and hopefully taken in a positive sense. I've just looked back over the ones made, most were aimed at modding. I thought it relevant to add a different point of view to the usual one. Modding can be VERY expensive unless you really know what you're doing, and for most of us, it's cheaper to simply buy a faster car.
e.g. the brief exchange between myself and another poster, i.e. hawsyr

Hope you guys keep having fun. All the best.

LOL mate.

Naw, mine was the light switch I tried turning on using the imfamous "miwashigeri" whilst practicing a spot of shotokan in the bedroom.

Wow, that was a long time ago....

I had hoped that my comments would be construed as a combination of both good natured humour whilst adding a different slant on things for poeple who maybe haven't seen as wide a variety of vehicles.

I certainly get plenty of ribbing from a close relative of mine about the 200 I now own aswell as when I used to own a Corolla GT twincam.
He hates Japanese cars and was quite happy to call them both washing machines. I wouldn't mind,, but he owned an Alfa 156, hardly the most reliable of vehicles.

Ref fast machines, well 600hp sounds like more than adequate go to me. What did they do, shoehorn a chevvy v8 in the back?
