redline magazine feature on jo's tvr/golf

[Neaty]

the car does stand out a bit in the magazine against all that chrome on every other page!

it's a decent enough feature, bit low on tech detail but a lot of good pictures

all theyre botherd about is how many subs you have and not bothered about the actual details that make a car go, let alone go fast!

Aye, seems more and more now those "Car Mags" are looking for some f**k wit who spent more on body work than the car is worth, and more on ICE than making the car actually more than a 1.1 8v Saxo.

It really does surpise me how much money they spend, and how bloody awful most of them sound, with their dustbins on the car as an exhaust, pure noise no go.

What a joke.

And chrome is good ok, I have chrome on my interior

its an absalute disgrace isnt it! on 5th gear a year or so ago there was a feature on modyfied cars and this guy spent in total 30k on a 1.1 saxo! what a fooking idiot!!

[Cra1g]

30k? What a tart man, they could of had a BMW/Merc/Porce/Jaquar etc for that money.

Ohh and a Golf

LOL all the 'boy racers' i talk to about it (nova boys with 1.2s and bodykits i mean) Think it looks stupid because the engine doesnt look 'blingin enaugh'.

When i point out its a TVR Carbed V6 they usally give me a blank facial expression and make some sorta comment about why it hasnt got a sound system  I give up somtimes!

**Edit** Redlines probally the most taistful of the three main boy racer mags...Not that that says anything 

You're a boy racer - "Built to street race", and it's a carbed V8.

Ok...well i stand corrected on the motor size, And TBH, theres a huge difference between the street racer croud and the boy racer croud. Ironically boy racers dont race, they just drive faster than average road users until they hit a tree and die (whether of not thats a bad thing is up to you to decide), Street racers tend to be older (but not always) and tend to take a more mature attitude to there cars etc. If i was a boy racer id be talking in chav, painting my car pink and fitting a big purple neon to my foot well

I've just spilled my tea!

Since when did 'street racers' take a mature attitude, if they were that mature they wouldn't do it!

And 'Ahem', if you were a boy racer you would do what...........??

[Fielder5757]

majority of street racers i know race on closed lenghts of road and drive skylines, supras, Scoobys, M3s. Most of there cars can handle high speeds and very few accidents occour.

Majority of boy racers i know race around high streets and speeds far over tehre driving capabilities and cars capabilities and kill them selfs.

As for what id do if i was a boy racer, did you not read my above post    Its obvious you have attended very few organised street racing events
