Again, the engine is engineered to last as long as Pete's but I'd rather go faster. As Eldon Tyrell said "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long."

So there.
I'm glad you're not mad that your engine needs fixing then ........ alas, it burned half as long - but thats not for me!!

Pete,

You couldnt whip tweaky!!!!!! Let alone another driver in a car!

Can I suggest you go ask for the optional extra of "Pipe Rack" and "Slipper Store" in your next ImpreZzzzzzzzzzzzza!

I think you should change your username to Victor Meldrew.

Regards,
Shaun.

Strange statement coming from someone who has as many posts as you!!

Quickly approaching 11,000

You forget that I am 77 years old and have had my life ...... you, on the other hand, haven't!!

Not sure who is the saddest???

I can't be bothered reading through all the pages, but Pete - weren't you asking about changing the exhaust not so long ago? And also about rally graffics (although no doubt that one was just so you could say something bad about those who choose that look)?


I know you're the site troll/comedian/troll/wind-up merchant/troll/idiot/troll/genius/troll/dead person/troll/vegetable/troll/prune/troll/voice of reason/troll* but really, why do you bother?

When my car looked like this, no one really said anything about it.

Now my car looks like this, I get people stop me at the petrol station and traffic lights to talk about the car, Ive had old people at the local shop say your car makes a lovely noise, and I had a young kid about 8 years old shout "I love you Scooby" as I drove past, and ive been pulled over by the police more, and I get more looks as I drive past.

Now if I had to buy a car, straight from the showroom that gets that kind of attention, I would have to paying over £50k for a car, Which I cant afford.

So the more I spend on modifying the more it feels like a extention off my ****.

forgot to say "pslewis"!

Go and find me a 1992 WRX which is lowered, 18" alloys, full sound system, 2005 interior, 2000 front end, chipped, decatted, induction kit, dump valve etc etc

That way it saves me doing it!!


But i doubt u can buy cars like that standard!!

That's not maintenance, unless you keep the same paint colour every time you decorate, or the same wallpaper and carpets.

If you're changing then you're modding, and if you're modding then you're a hypocrite.

Or just a troll who has caught us all hook, line and sinker for rising to the bait.

If so then I applaud thee.
