Admin Mk2Jo Posted March 2, 2007 Admin Report Posted March 2, 2007 What do you mean? Was it Billy's car that is featured or someone else's car
Guest HPEjadey1 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 What do you mean? Was it Billy's car that is featured or someone else's car apparently its billys car now but he dint reali get a look in as the bloke whos car it was before billy was ther ooooooops
Guest turbo2 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 What do you mean? Was it Billy's car that is featured or someone else's car billy clarke said he turned up for his feature someone from the magazine invited the person who owned and built the car years ago as he was a freind of someone from magazine then billy let this fellow have ago in his motor now billy is disappointed because the fellow got the front cover picture and most of the write up you'll have to see for yourselfs people
Admin Mk2Jo Posted March 2, 2007 Admin Report Posted March 2, 2007 Ahh, I see now ..... haven't seen the mag yet
Morley Posted March 2, 2007 Report Posted March 2, 2007 Being off ill, i'm not 100% sure on this one. But as far as i'm aware, BB was in contact with Billy throughout the write up of the feature. If he is unhappy about the feature he is more than welcome to contact BB to chat about it as he has his Mobile number. It's a stonker of a car tho
Guest MK1gaz Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 It was a good feature i thought . Tango has had a very high profile media following over the years and all it's old owners probably still love this car so can't wait too see it again . This means that it's new owner will have to expect alot of attention when ever he goes out in it , especially on photo shoots etc . I doubt if the previous owners or the magazine meant to upset the new owner though , they were more than likely just excited too see it again .
Nick Mexi-cos Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 I helped daryl along with wayne wigger from wpe wacky performance engines build this car back in the day , Daryl did not mean for anyone to get upset about this and sends his appologies to Billy , he was as excited as anyone to see the car back down in sarf london giving it large again , i know daryl just wanted to help with the input on the feature as seeing the car has not changed much since the day it was built i think it was well worth it , with the say so from the new owner , I do think with out his input the feature may of been a bit bland and big daryl helped retro ford compile a feature the car deserves , Good Luck To Billy on his new ride and hope he enjoys it as much as daryl did and I did when i got to drive it a few times Keep The old skool alive
Jimsiss Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 if you buy a car someone else has put the spanner time in on then I don't think it's right to feature it in a mag and not mention the person who built the car especially if the current owner only bought it and just drives it.
jayson2.3pinto Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 Jimsiss you shouldnt say things you just presume billy has done a lot of work to that car he has had all the rear suspension off changed all the rear linkage changed all the brakes altered cam timing leg inserts wiring tyres exhaust work wiring so would say hes done a fair bit billy was just unhappy as someone came along and put there own stamp on the car so he felt a bit un happy about it being his bit off fame he understands that other people should be mentioned that helped build the car but to have pics off someone else driving his car was unfair
