they didn't!! hard to get a good 1/4 mile or handling time on the back of a recovery truck!!!!!!!!!!! flame suit ready!!

come on now people this threads getting boring!
save it for the track.............. lets see who does what then..
or if they do????
my money is on a wagon..(and not mine)..hope ya get em finished ..you know who you are..

 

Cossies were sh1te, the only thing quick was the festa, with a high top speed, excellent result for a festa. I think a cossie had a similar/identical time to me, cant remember.

No doubt that was a slow cossie, as is mine a slow scoob!

TOTB3 should be interesting, very interesting. Should give all the hyped cossies AND scoobs, time to get ready. I however, will be standby (again), probably, if accepted.

Steven 12.16qtr, 118mph

 

Some of the cossies listed do 10 secs over the 1/4 with top speed of 190mph+

 

yeah right!

how come these cossies never turn up to any of the events then???

is it cos the owners are full of ****???

 

well I speak to gareth fairly often.. and he's got a garrett gt40 on his escort cossie.. + Pectel T6 and W/band & Antilag..

:O :O :O :O :O :O

David
(Not scared of the cossies in the slightest!)

 

David,
Gareth who?

 

Mike and cossie, you obviously missed the bit where i said i was a reserve. Only 340bhp, not 500!! FFS

2 cars, thats all!!!, they were both beatn by 2 subarus, and my car beat them both on the handling. Christ, mines even a wagon, and i still got a reasonable time

You booked the AA for the trip home yet?, i hear they are busy on the 1st August 2004

Steven

 

 

Yes, but traction is EVERYTHING over the quarter...

11.7 & 12.07 from 2wd cars is pretty good .

And the 500bhp one went on to 172mph (on the rev limiter due to 3.9 gearing compared to the normal 3.64).

It may sound like excuses, but we fielded a team made up mainly of reserves due to half the original cars pulling out due to set-up / transmission problems.

We had two cars with clutch failures on the day, but AFAIAA no car went home with the AA .

 

Gareth ?Thwaite?

would need to check to be 100%

 

Hi Mike

I remember the last time he did this

The Scoobies WON



Post the link to your website write-up Mike?


Fancy organising a re-run of that as well? Standard,tame, mild & wild? Same scenario?

 

James, you referring to what was in Revs in June 2000??

 

David,
Gareth's car has none of those things fitted to it, they sit in his bedroom collecting dust...

I think he even sold the GT40 turbo now as well, planning to go with something less radical. When he DOES finally get his s h i t together, he will have a sorted car, but for the moment it is a work in progress...

 

How would the motors be picked
Would a team of scoobies be sellected by someone in the know?
Or can anyone join in?

Seems the cosie boys have a list of cosi's they want as their team..
I would assume us scooby peeps would pick a team of the best/fastest scoobies?

 

Yup

A challange was laid down and taken up and the scoobs won

Mike organised his team



& came along to showboat

 

Shame I wasn't allowed to take the place of the retired Cossie either, as my car was MILES faster than every car there on the day . Only had 420bhp as well...

 

Scooby dooby doo where are you? what you doin 3 miles back in my rear view mirror!!!

lol Sorry i will get my coat..

 

PMSL hang on well i pick myself up off the floor! lol ive got to post this for the lads to see

 

this one here doesnt chappie i,v got around 575 bhp last time out the car did 5 10s passes out of 12 runs....the best was 10.7 @ a shade under 133mph ....any scoobs here beat that?

 

Are you going to run at totb 3 kev?

Sort these japs out once and for all with some good old BRITISH YB power!!!!

 

i might

i thought i would have come back here to see a list of sub 11sec scoobs
LOL

 

No such luck Kev

 

Kev put it away you have scared them all off! lol

We best not tell them what your top end speed is or they will poo there pants

 

hey scooby boys, dont you understand, nothing can beat a cossie!
my car is 1000bhp!!!!
it uses 2 sets of grays, a titanium head gasket and 2 t4 turbos running 120psi!!!!!!
it maybe a g reg but i have spent £30000 on mods so its worth more than any scooby.
i will bring it to TOTB 3 if i can get the new doors and wings on and floor welded up!
oh yeah and my weak actuator sorted out, thinking of going for a -61 and a 50bar MAP sensor.
my car is faster than anything, i raced a f1 car up the road the other day and left it for dead!

have to go now cos i have to get my WHAM records back from my mate the go shopping for some new stone washed jeans and an arron jumper to tuck in to them .

i am also going to get my flat top trimmed........seeya

 

Fantastic banter

Nice to see on here

Mike, its not the drag from the spoiler thats slowing you down, its that 80's quiff blowing in your eyes at high speed..LOL...

D

 

pmsl.....taxi with bonnet vents..
as for the 80's jibe..funny..
totb3 cannot come soon enough..
will there as previously mentioned by chance to run standard v standard,and mild v mild etc etc..
just so we can really rub salt in the "broken" wounds?

 

PMSL at this thread.

The Ford lot have an excuse for everything.

Wot's ur excuse then for Ford producing that dangerous piece of crap the RS Focus? Launch that up the straight and the front LSD will take you off at 90 degrees! lol! Take ur blinkers off and see the light!

 

Invariably it is the Scooby owners who are blinkered, as most of them are 20-something IT dweebs that have never driven a Cossie, yet feel qualified to comment on their attributes / failings .

We are fortunate in being a multi-car family, which include a PPP'd UK 300 and an Escort Cossie, guess which is the most involving / fun to drive (I'll give you a clue, it ain't the one with a famous cartoon dog as a name-sake )?

 

Mike, late 20's, not in IT, have driven several cossies, so can comment

They are sh!te IMHO. The main problem is they have FORD written on them

Seriously, another Standard, Mild, Medium, Silly and Mental comparison would be good again. See how things have moved on in what is nearly 4 years.

Put my name down for the Medium one, and see if you can get some magazines interested
