Default Courtesy Car

After some 'kin van driver buried my rear bumper up my exhaust I have a Citreon C4 courtesy car- Er no comment but it does have an Essex Scooby Crew button which turns it into a funky dancing robot with a pink tee-shirt on




Enjoy tomorrow shame I cant be there... looks a big one

That's persuaded me, I'm selling the Scoob and buying a button with a free car attatched

Hope the Scoob gets sorted

Don't you find that courtesy cars are at least 15 seconds quicker round the 'ring than your scooby?

Funny I've always found they respond well to bouncing off the limiter, cornering without breaking and full throttle gear changes.....

lol, but you have to admit, full throttle gear changes on a brand new astra (what i had last) amount to about 70% throttle on a reliant robin

and the rev limiters cut on before you can even hear the valves bouncing!!!!

its strange what you get used to.

oh, and you have to get out and put your hand over the exhaust, to see if its started !!!

I done an apprenticeship with 5 others when we were about 18 - 19, we had loads of courses in Staffordshire and Liverpool. We crashed 3 hire cars (Escort, Astra and 406), blew the speakers on 2 Pug 306's, melted the front tyres on a 306 TD (loads of torque ) and my mate blew the head gasket on a Ford Focus 1.8 whilst racing me in my Astra GTE all the way up the M1.

Them were the days
