I dont think it matters what car you drive these days, chav's will try and try and take any car on. See facebook group "Mr. Chav, your car may sound like a lamboghini but its still a ford fiesta."

:D

Photoshoot Ibiza FR TDi Vs Montune Zetec S

Found a cracking location at an abandoned RAF base out in Upwood Cambs.

The other car is my mates Montune Tuned Zetec S, it might only have 140bhp but it dont half shift:

I like this one the most. Also the ones of your Ibiza and the Fiesta inside the building in the second post look cool!

Bit of a shame there's nothing really like that near where I live.

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but the stubby aerial you have on your car, does it affect radio reception? If not, any idea where I could purchase an identical one from?

Cheers,
Chris.

you'll have to get a readers ride thread up mate so we can all have a butchers. These cars remind me so much of old skool American muscle, alot torque, not very refined, but so much fun, comfortable and a pleasure to drive.

O forgot another few pics pinched from me mates camera:

Ok had a fun couple hours with mr policeman. Past couple of nights now same chavved up corsa has been casing my car. They have been seen now by me and my neighbour doing exactly the same thing. 1.30am-2.00am Drive up and down the road slowing up at my car sit there pointing and looking, drive to the top turn around drive back down the road with the lights off, stop alongside mine, get out the car look through windows, get back in the car drive off, turn around at the end of the street again drive up to mine and slow to a crawl alongside mine again and then bugger off!!!!!!

O and the stupid bit they have one of those twat exhausts on the corsa where you can here it a mile away and they woke my neighbour the first time around and then I sat up waiting for them last night, and just like a bad smell there they were again. ****ing dicks [:@]:ban:

Edition Preperation

Well after the fun and games of chav cars, its been a quiet month, aint bought anything new for her so im feeling next month i need to spend a lil.

I will be going to my first ever show at edition this year, very handy as its 3 miles from home and i feel a good way to break my duck.

So in preperation, i cleaned her up a bit today, had been cleaned in nearly 3 weeks which aint like me at all, cars been on a weekly wash cycle since i bought it :p

Anyway a quick couple:

after edition it is going to be good by from me for at least 4-6 months on the mods front, as my money will be MASSIVELY stretched thanks to
  • a new lower paid job (until trainee status is removed then hopefully more money then i was on previously touchwood)
  • car in need of 4 new tyres (currently got 4mm left all round as of 10th August)),
  • cambelt service and 50k service all due by december :cry:

where are those little lottery balls when you need them :( just 5 will do not much to ask is :lol:
