Oh and save your money better accountant boy
antz Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Posted July 25, 2008 hmm, you could buy a civic or similar XD erm....no i like RWD....then again i did want a fiat uno turbo last week
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 Forget all that has been suggested Antz. Give the Volvo the sack, keep the Terror and buy some proper rare 70's retro Jap coolness. We had one of these years ago, and I have never seen another... ours was Orange with a Black vinyl roof, and that car is........ A Datsun 120y Coupe. Nice car and very rare now
Copey Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 i did want a fiat uno turbo last week is ther something wrong with you??
mk1super Posted July 25, 2008 Report Posted July 25, 2008 Antz noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Dont do it
bigglesmk2 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 ANTZ,one slap on the way to you in the post with first class stamp Dont do it.
ratman Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 MMmmmm starlet Wish i kept my old hot rod that wide beasty would have been the tits on the road with its 10x13 split rimed compos but i wouldnt swap it for my tina nice to dream tho
fergus mk2 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 4 age in escort now that would be a sleeper forget a slap a hammer on the head is on its way
antz Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Posted July 26, 2008 jimbob id love a datsun 120 they are rare though the volvo isnt a bad car. its ok for 'no worries' driving. if someone drives me i dont care, if i drive into someone i dont care, i can park it in rough areas, its big soeveryone moves out the way on the road, its fast-ish, it doesnt rust, its got more room than a transit van and its rwd......and so boring i just think theres summat cool about the starlet. id love one of these: http://retrorides.proboards86.com/index ... read=35267 i just sometimes get to a point with my car and think 'is it worth the effort?' people will still walk past it at shows cos itll look like a 1.3 ghia and its constantly letting me down. im running out of thigns to add to the car cos the only bits i need are the ones you cant get anywhere. i do feel like a change sometiems ....(i wont mention that last week i wanted a horrendously gay modified corsa just for shits and giggles so i could be a chav and be WELL COOL INNIT )...or a pug 106 rallye...sorry ill go wash my mouth out with soap
escortwithsunroof Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 you know what you need, you need an empty car park, the volvo and the escort and nose to tail sliding, i like the jap yokes, once they dont have PLASTIC bumpers or go ding ding ding ding (imaginary flames out the exhaust) come on what can beat a crossflow (is yours a cross) at full tilt screaming....... _________________ Mercedes 190
antz Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Posted July 26, 2008 mnes a 1300 crossflow. not bad but a bit boring....and my 1700 wont be ready until spring. i would go out and find a carpark (i know of a nice grass one) and go for a spin but the car keeps bloody falling apart (and the volvo does not drift on grass very well. it understeers unless you handbrake it and boot it)
Retro-gone. Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 this is the best Jap car i ever had, a Datsun 180SSS (triple s was its nickname) . ps, antz i/we know what your going through, its been happening to me and prob the rest of these guys all our driving lives, cars are like women, you get tired of them so you change, then you realise the new one aint as good but you cant get your old one back so you spend half your life kickin yerself. I still have ideas about sellin the capri and buying somethin else, but i know il regret it.
