  • The return of the sh1t box.........Mega, itulips Automotive corspondent..

    ...reports.

    My dear friends, since the collaspe in 2008 the British goverment has had to make a few cut backs. I was delighted to hear that the F*CKING SCAM AKA "Mobilty" where if you say your family member or "friend" has so much as a F*CKING in-growing toe nail the then goverment would rape those silly people whom went out to work for a living (Like Mega) & use the money to give them a FREE (Yes F8CKING FREE!!!!) "Mobilty car"......(Somethings a BMW !!!!!!)

    I was delighted, but i thought that they "sort of" not do it......i was wrong. I am shocked by the SUDDEN re-appearance of what was thought to be long DEAD cars. Today i saw 3, 20 year old Rover 100's (Metro's).


    Great seller, till the car was tested for crash protection:-





    After that everone wanted a REAL sized car & good crash protection, the Rover 100 was DROPPED from production shortly after this test was made public.

    So, i thought..........thats it, we never see a return to that sort of thing........i was wrong



    I know they moved the safety game on, but i still worry.....i tried one for size & i 100% agree with the driver it needs a steering wheel that adjusts for reach as well as height........but you don't get that option on the moden sh1t box.......

    A gutless 3 pot 1,000 cc engine & very little trim also does little to impress me..

    Funny enough i thought Fords low point was the Mustang 2........i loved it, the one in Charles Angles that is. However i was DEAD wrong.....i came across this the other day:-

    Ford EXP


    So, Ford decied to try to Fight Toyota MR2 .......by using a Escort platform......removing the rear seats (Hey its a 2 seater!)......& fitting the 1.6 CVH engine (their worst ever) with a MASSIVE 85....YES 85 BHP (Toyota had 125 & later 145bhp)........so to fight a lovely well built Toyota mid engined car (designed with help from Lotus).....Ford did this! ?

      You had to buy a muscle car in the 60's to have any fun...and the '67 mustang was a lot of fun! Of course, there may have been some adjustments made in a cam or something. It's been a long time since I was in a automotive class, but I remember I rebuilt things well!
