I'd happily banger race a brand new Vectra.

But other people would be disgusted at the thought.

 

One mans poison and all that...

dont surprise me mate i offered a mate £1500 for a falcon estate in nearly mint condition and he raced it in stead that' the way banger boy's are

[GJUK]

Yeah, I don't really see a problem with that to be honest.

I saw a very tidy looking Mk1 Granny on the back of a flatbed headed into my local scrappy the other day. He's a banger boy but he's also got a few nice cars sitting around that he wouldn't ever race... dunno what this granny is destined for though.

I remember kicking the windows out of a Mint and i mean Mint gold MK1 Granada Coupe with 27 thou on the clock.

And raced that at swaffham and essex arena, best banger i had!!

Was only 19 at the time. . . .

Worth a mint now

a banger boy will look at a car as a doner car for racing no mater what the car, in the late 90`s a guy raced a jag estate one of only 2 ever made, but to him it was a banger, i, myself, raced a jan 69 mk1 capri with ed in the chassis number(ed was a development car) did one pre 70`s meet at kingslynn then wieghed it in minus the rear axle stock car boy had that for £100, had genuin ford replacment wings which i cut, but back then it was a banger to race

It was fair enough back years ago, when banger boys trashed old fords, cos there were plenty. But now I hate the fact the banger racers are still going after old cortinas and granadas when there are so few left.

shame to see a minter raced,but as said a banger boy will just see them as a banger not a mint granada. I raced a season at mildenhall & me & a mate started the season with 22 mk2 granadas 3 capris a austin 40r & 3 bluebirds & raced the lot. Don't regret racing any of them as it is like a drug banger racing & till you get stuck in on the track you would never understand. Alot of the bits that have come & gone on my escort have been from cars ive raced so not all bad

that's the way it is. How much did you offer him for it? ;)

[caprinerd]

the reason they go for the old motors is strength put a s.i.e.rr.a up against a tina or capri and the tina or capri will win every time

same for the granada mk1 or 2 put them against something modern and the granny will win, better made better metal easy to fix and as strong as they come,

i raced the capri in 2003 at kingslynn and it was an old humber that finished me off after i had jack up a viva which was the humbers mate

Most banger lads (like myself) do know the difference between a car for racing and a car for keeping..

 

A rare car looks awesome on the track though If I had something rare, which I could sell on for a grand, I'd race it

That isn't a car for racing though

 

I mean, if I gave say £250 for a rare Jag or whatever, to the right person, it might be worth £1000 or more to restore, but a car bought for racing, is a car that's being raced
