Always nice to see Kells coming out as a fan of utter chav rubbish.

Just spending £75k on MDF and other tat does not a good car make.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

The 80's were the last decade of freedom on the road in many ways. The cars that also were produced or came from the late 70's such as the Capri (Britains answer to the US Mustang we were told). But there where some very fast cars and then the injection came into play and the big 3 litre and V8's were not that un common.
In many ways these cars where a victim of their own success with many thefts and more fatalities and offcoarse the enviromentalists had plenty of ammo.
The 90's produced the speed camera, the speeding humps, the large engined cars went on the down turn as fuel started to rocket and then to me the dreaded heavy lump in your exhaust called the CAT.

Yesterday my ABF Mk2 left a Focus ST for dust, believe me he was up for it and it's the driver that REALLY MEANS IT in a close dual that wins it but nevertheless it was 80's V the modern 2010 . Speaks for itself!

What he said  :rolleyes:

Which is why I'm stuck in the 80's when it comes to cars... technology had adavnced but only to a point where it made things fun, fuel injection and better placement/management of turbo charging etc. Motorsport: nothing will ever beat group b rallying but then safety became an issue as you pointed out. 

When i'm back in my dub i will always feel proud whatever i pull up next to, even if its something faster.  its not just about speed for me, its everything.

The only cat my car had underneath was due to an issue with clearance when I ran it over!  :laugh: (JOKING!)

Love the 80's styling!!

Yesterday Up north (Stockton on tees) I saw a Orange BMW (now sure what model it is exactly) but had them crazy wide arches and fitted with a crazy wide 80's kit. Also sat on some lovely keskin rims. Looked the nuts. Colour was bit bright for me tho :)

Still a good example of a well thought highly modded german motor.

There was also a Vauxhall Nova modded in the 80's style afew years back in black. now that was WIDE. and Super fast.
Looked abit chavvy tho, but stood out in the croud.



Black 8v GTI............. Whats a Waffle Valve?

I think when it comes to cars like these it has to be either or....... have a crazy wide body in a sensible colour like the Rieger Corrodo's on here or the Sbaro golfs.  or have a normal body with a mental colour.. doing both makes is OTT.
