I know… lets have a TruckNet meet every Friday down the local Maccy D’s then we can all rev our engines and shout lots.
Nowt chavvy about a land rover of course…but the rest of you!
Innit mate!
Yep, nowt chavvy about the original chelsea tractor
Must admit i do like landy’s, the turbo ford’s are great cars, ugly as ■■■■ mind you, jelly mould shape, mainly not very good colours!!
Bottom line is all about the engine, the cosworth engine is tunable as hell and can make serious power for not a lot of money, trouble is it’s wrapped by a sierra/■■■■■■ and costs a lot of money to wrap it in something else
If i had my way and the money i’d have a 550+ bhp 2l cosworth turbo, with 4 wheel drive in a dax rush, now that would make for a mental car
not bad at all as standard, but mines mapped to 300 bhp and you need to keep both hands on the wheel if your setting off quickly
btw the missus picked the colour, i wanted a red one
Never mind, at least you got a red house. My missus made me go for a Yorkshire stone coloured 4 bedroomed one, but I had it mapped to 3 bedroomed with on suite and office space. I think I might be able to squeeze a bit more out of it if I do something with the pluming. I have just managed to get a bit more downforce by altering the angle of the guttering.

Found a photo of mine, it was always dirty and looking well abused :
My spotless 200bhp S2 RST:
Both long gone and forgotten now though, i’ve got a TDCi Mondeo and for the weekends and time off i’ve got this:
The focus ST is a nipply little bugger , test drove a couple of them …
Been thinking of getting one in the future in Performance blue …Funnily enough the orange colour does seem to grow on you .
Fun to drive and no torque steer as standard , the electrickery sorts it all out .
Very impressive motor .
My dads new Audi is 170bhp diesel, and my new car will be 150bhp diesel, which isnt far off the lowest powered diesel in our fleet at 210bhp. Nowhere near the 310bhp that my truck has though.
This is my ride at our summer residence in Costa del Katowice, downforce is not a problem with the wife’s mother riding shotgun. I have had it up to 60 kph with a tail wind, but most of my teeth fell out.
The one thing that puts me off the Focus ST …
They get nicked , A LOT …
Thrashed by a joy rider , people break into your house for the keys , stolen to break for parts …Stolen to be shipped abroad .
As road tax in ireland is priced on cc (the lower the cc the cheaper the road tax) we bought a vw jetta tsi last year. It’s only got a 1400cc engine but has 170 bhp.
Goes like ■■■■ off a polished shovel
Dunno how it would compare to a 460 actros thou
any car can get nicked from anywhere, if you look at it like that you would never own anything decent… i live on a council estate and me and the local idiots have a good relationship, they dont try and steal anything from me and i wont come and get them in the middle of the night and break their legs with a wheelbrace its worked well for the last few years, if you have your house fully alarmed you shouldnt get any bother with people trying to break in for keys either
btw drew128, that went straight past me…sorry but i didnt get it
