WRX Blues 13 April 2006 03:25 PM

I seem to remember this was done before - wasn't it called a 'Delfino' or something like that?:wonder:

Andy M3 13 April 2006 03:36 PM

I remember that too - i think it was on 5th gear too a few years back now.

Seems a reasonable package though :)

Wurzel 13 April 2006 03:44 PM

I heard the cornish one will be powered by Colmans mustard and not petrol.

Reports mention that a special model will be released early next year with extra oooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr :D

So as to keep in the cornish tradition pasties will be used as brake calipers!!

ALi-B 13 April 2006 03:48 PM

Now now, lets be fair to the carrot crunchers. :nono:......

......It will also harvest fields :D

IIRC there was only one built and it was stolen in the end.

Wurzel 13 April 2006 03:52 PM

They did toy with the idea of a pasty powered car but the gravy was to thick to get through the injecters :D

They also hope to overcome fuel surge in heavy cornering by installing small emergency bottles of mustard on each corner of the main mustard tank.

The car will run on the slightly underpowerd Colmans french and German mustard but manufacturers recommend for maximum performance you should really only use the much more powerful English mustard.

And Petrol comes from Fawley but you still run your car on it !

wrxtankie 13 April 2006 04:37 PM

Steve you have waaaaaaaayy too much time on your hands.

Gear Head 13 April 2006 04:50 PM

No wrxtankie..... thats Ali-B! That guy is p*ssing me off even more than Pslewis!

Daniel-S 13 April 2006 04:57 PM

Thats a pretty bit of kit

HOWY 13 April 2006 05:01 PM

Is anyone really going to spend £20K on a kit car when they can have a new imprzza for the money. They'll probably go bust within 2 years.

Tell you what, why not change your 15w50 oil every month instead of 3months. Then you'd have less time to victimise me? :rolleyes:

Again ignoreing Wurzles derogatory comments and going straight for me....Who needs to get a life now? eh?

ALi-B 14 April 2006 10:49 AM

And the man now say's he has no chip on his shoulder. Bless :D
Maybe I have it wrong and the guy has a severe lack in a sense of humour.

Well, I too can stoop to this level and take this one step further........

Probably needs a cigarette :lol1:

Gear Head 14 April 2006 10:50 AM

Straight to his own defence! :Whatever_

ALi-B 14 April 2006 10:55 AM

Well, I can't just ignore your comments?

If you intended me NOT to comment on them, you should have kept your opinions to yourself.

Gear Head 14 April 2006 11:00 AM

What, like you do?

Dan 2 14 April 2006 11:09 AM

:sleep:

ALi-B 14 April 2006 11:12 AM

Well you can expect me to get to defensive when you start ignoreing others comments and just target myself instead with the need to tell me to get a life? Really! :rolleyes:

You say this place is like a play ground?
Well, you started it. :D

You say I make no valid contributions? Well, currently, neither are you

You say why am I here? Because I like it here.

You tell me to if I don't like subarus to not post on this fourum. Well sorry, here's news for you, I've been here a long time, I like it here and I am most certainly not going anywhere.

I know You have a habit to go off on one at verious people. And it's understandble with teh types like Lewis on here. And you say this place is full of keyboard heros and if this were a pub it would be very different.

Well I put this to you, perhaps - going back to the playground analogy, it takes one to know one. And I feel that your only flailing off like this because you yourself, like everyone else you brandish as a k/b hero, are sat safe and comfortable behind a keyboard.

Gear Head 14 April 2006 11:21 AM

Show me the other threads where I have had crossed words with people.... they must be easy to find, I mean, you do say I make a habbit of it. :D

As I said, the difference between you and the other users such as pslewis, is that he actually likes the impreza.
I just see this as a daft place to be if all you intend on doing is mocking both Imprezas and the majority of the people who drive them.

I think www.scoobyslayers.co.uk is still running, try there!

Rjames 14 April 2006 11:25 AM

Different idea!!

Gear Head 14 April 2006 11:31 AM

Thats what I thought. Something different.
