have you got.....

[DAZZA]

.....mates and family that cant get their head around our hobby?

 

showed some work colleagues the deal, pics of boxhill and brighton run and my car.

 

responses range from "IS THAT A DISABILITY CAR" to "ID NEVER GET IN THAT"

 

What is it that we can see that others cant?

 

Please discuss...................

[Chris!]

my nan keeps asking me when im going to grow out of restoring cortinas

shes lost the plot

[bigglesmk2]

Some ppl just cant see the light.

 

My mate's are still into corsa's nova's R5 turbo's'n'the odd clio sneak's in,but when im around in my mk2 escy tapp dancing 1600 X-flow it's all eye's on me

 

I turned one of my mate's into an OSForder so thats a start

[FlashCadillac]

i dont think its what we can see in OSF.... i think its what we can see in max power that they dont

 

the thing about spending all that money on plastic trim that does foook all for the performance of the car

 

and we dont want to be part of a forum where the base of most convostations is "my car is phatter that yours... init"

 

or "check mi nu 22inch Amir Kahns! dey is BLINGIN"

 

and i swear some of them have a plastic fetish

 

 

 

 

 

whilst OSF is based around the feeling of driveing somthing thats older than you (ok that might not be the case for some of you but i suppose that to do with cars you had as a lad) that will kick the sh*t out of modern car...

 

 

IF THEY DONT UNDERSTAND ITS NOT WORH EXPLAINING!

If your car doesnt have at least 16" wheels forget talking to the young crew over here. I'll stick with 13" for as long as I can. I have 4 complete sets! Just need the right tyres...Anything larger than 15" on an Escort is bloody awfull!

I always use to get in my younger days "When you going to get a proper car" just purely because i was out fixing it or doing something with it every w/end,

[davreeve]

Personaly i started with a 79 fiesta when i was 17 in 1988 and have always had motors of that sort of era .I think its to do with the cars i remember as a kid .Newer cars do nothing for me and are just bland tin boxes in my opinion.

[Copey]

most of my mates thought i was crazy, but they are all coming round now, and love my capper

[Nettles]

It's in my blood I'm afraid, I come from a long line of petrol heads, always had bikes and cars around me since an early age.

I’ve always been tinkering around with something with an engine so most of my mates really didn’t say too much when I got back into old Fords.

The only problem I ran into was the missus, she liked it so much that we ended up having to buy her a 100e.

[mk1super]

All my family are ford people and petrol heads, my dad swore by transits. So thats where the ford influence kicks in, as for why old skool well there proper cars proper, shape and go like stick nuff said

 

My missus dont get it at all but then shes into her sportsbikes each to there own, and other ignorance means theres more cars for the enlighted like us

[radar tech]

I put it down to JEALOUSY matey , Old skool drives are in a league of

there own way above the premiership of cars. Deep down they hold alot

of respect for you
