Some guy in a Volvo rear ended me last year. Lucky I was driving my Ford Ranger! He was tailgating me on the highway when I was coming home from the dump, then a big rig swerved in front of me, i braked, and he rear ended me pretty hard. The whole bed buckled up and twisted, but luckily I only had to replace the bed and back bumpers and stuff, and get someone to bend the chassis back. Worst thing though, is that it was a hit n run. He hit me then switched lanes and accelerated away. I drove home on four wheels, luckily. And I still have my green 2002 Ford Ranger.

worrow all

i knock about in a 1987 austin mini 998cc ( 1 litre ) i bought for £250 i have built it from scratch welding, painting stripping the engine to bits, everything :smile: so if something goes wrong on it, touch wood and all that shit it wont happen i know what to do about it. somewhere in the floor i have welded the outer shell of an old electric heater that had the misfortune of not working a cold winters day so i made use of it i used the metal to fill a hole in the healboard, worked a treat. Good old british classic they dont make them like that anymore. But they still do round my house me hopefully my next project is a mkIII ford cortina '' coke bottle ''

happy motoring all

have a good one......if not have a cold one

Ya know? I wish I could get ahold a one o' those Vauxhall Novas. I bet I could do some righteous things to that square tin can.

I've seen some of the mods that're bein' done to them and if they're done tastefully-they don't look too bad.

Seen an article in MaxPower that featured a Nova, blue or swimmingpool greenish, it was...

Had a homemade WRC type nose on it and really nice bulges on the fenders. I'm not a subscriber to that mag but I did remember a couple nice sets a ta-ta's in it.

The guy said something about stripping all the extraneous weight outta it so's he could race it including adding plexi windows...Hell, I'da just tube framed it and put a real motor in it. So what if ya gotta set the firewall back 6 inches and cut the inner fender wells out?

That car's got a bit o' potential.

I'd love to see a pic of this car. Better yet, one with you stood next to it. Sorry for being skeptical, but if you hang around the boards i do, you can't trust anyone who just claims to have a really nice car/s.

We get a thread like this every month, but it's always good to show off to the newbs what ya drive (and remind the old folks).

My regular driving car is a black '99 Mazda. It's pretty good...for a V6.

I also have a work truck; a 2002 F250. Sold my old '86 F150 for $1 (plow and all) to my neighbor after the engine caught fire. I got sick of fixing it all the time. Plus the entire body is paper thin from years of rust. Looks like something from Road Warrior.

Ok, and my fun car is my '69 Camaro. All stock and in mint condition. And the pic to prove it http://www.duckandcover.net/madmaxrw/P1010138.JPG

I bought the car a few years ago and I'm already thinking of buying another. My eye has been on the Firebird. Or maybe a nice Baracuda with a bigass Hemi.

hi dB

i see what you mean m8, but aint all cars modifyable to make them look and go better ? with the acceptions of some real shitheaps obviously. If you think you can make one of them biscuit tins look and go better, all i can say m8 is your a brave man :smile:

the only way to make these cars look cool in my opinion ( because i fecking hate them ) is to mod them to such an extent, it starts to resemble a completly different car with all the impreza and escort XR3I boonet scoops on, the Corsa front lights and indicator lenses, the lexus style lights on the back, the testarossa bodykit with soleniod doors, the astra GTE digital dash, recaros and rollcages all over the shop. by the time all this work has been carried out, it looks nothing like the car it started out as. GOOD ! :smile: ah now i know why they do it, its because its the cheapest testarossa-lexus-subaru corsa-AstraGTE-escort XR3I money can buy how many people can say in the pub i got a Ferrari-lexus-vauxhall-ford-subaru all in one car ? i reckon i can safely say not many. :smile: still give it a go how many different brands of car can i fit on one shell, that'd be something to see

happy motoring m8

I'm fully equipped with a 1992 Ford Taurus SHO, and a 1993 Ford Ranger XLT. Taurus is white, Ranger is black. Good times. Good times.

And y'know, I hear vipers don't necessarily get along real well with cats...

Heh. The idea is to keep the car looking pretty much as what it started out as-now I'm not much into the FnF lookalikes-too many of those already on the roads everywhere, dig?

What I'm after is more like my Yugo Funny car (that I made for C2)-This was based on a real life car.

Saw it at a car show in Danbury, CT. Here sat this '87 Yugo on Mickey Thompson slick 50's (jammed up under the rear tubs-with a complete tubular frame and a blown 350 under the hood (OK, actually pretty far back into the cabin :smile: ).

It still looked more or less like a Yugo, though. No "YoMo" plastic on it.

All the body panels were tack welded together so the whole body hinged up like the C2 car I made.(attachment)



That's what I'm talkin' about. :wink:

Hi dB

thats it m8, thats modidng stuff that is completley off the wall, like ya yugo that thing rocks, i like cars that you wouldnt even think of modding, i dont know maybe a reliant kitten or a say like the one in th pic and the nissan sentra i kitted ( vertually, with the help of paint shop :smile: ? the reliant is shit beyond comprehension and the nissan is just, mundane family runner, but there are a few examples on there where people have modded them and fair enough to them no one else will do it and so there ride is unique in every way nice

not like these rudes putting lexus back lights on there nova's, not because they look good they do it because everyone else is , just following a trend to mod your car isnt the way in view like your yugo m8 how many of them do you know that have been modded to that extent ? now try and look for a real unique nova, i bet you will have a real hard time. i know these cars are more common over here than yugos so the odds are a bit one sided from the start but with all these folk in novas you would of thought they would make an effort to make there ride stand out from the crowd but they dont they follow everyone elses path thats what gets my WHY ! ? why the hell not graft a vauxhall astra front onto one ? that would be unique or maybe make one 4x4 ? why the hell not ? but they sitck to grafting bath panel sidings onto the side of the car LOL , ah well it just make the job easier for a right monster of a machine to put them to shame , all be it a small, cheap and humble YUGO !

have a good one......if not bolt a bath panel on the side of it and a sub in the boot INNIT !!!

Couple years back I saw a Porsche 911 roll through the center of Ridgefield-which is just yuppie snothead central, y'know what I mean?

Sitting in front of it was another 911 with an old fat bald golfer lookin' type in it and the expression on his face was priceless!

The reason being that the 911 behind him was 6 feet off the ground on a 4x4 chassis with big mudders and a blown V8 pokin' out the front.

Just a stock lookin' 911 sittin' on toppa bigfeets. I 'bout fell outta my truck I was laughin' so hard.

I wish I coulda snapped a picture of it-I've always wanted to do something like that.

This is the best I can do. I don't have anybody to take the pic of my car with me so I had to take it myself. The pic was taken at a winery I went to a week ago, called Silverado. [Attachment]
