Building upon this fantastic first post, two Family Guy quotes come to mind:
Peter Griffin: [inside Lois' head] I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor. I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, I'm a tumor, oh-oh, I'm a tumor!  and... Peter Griffin: Hi. I'm in the other room and I'm trying to get some sleep... cheese guy: Look, a wagon wheel! Peter Griffin: What the hell's your problem? cheese guy: I just smoked a whole bunch of crack! http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=familyguytimer In all seriousness however, what on earth are you on about illusivedreams? Something about a lotus elise, your licence, lamenting over owning an EF Fairmont (WHICH DOESNT REV) and pining for a Tickford or V8 Ghia. It's tuesday night man, substance abuse shouldn't really be indulged in til Friday. Last edited by mcflux; 20-09-2006 at 02:08 AM. |

Interesting Thread.
So having just got his licence back and claiming he drives like a granny, he illegally drags an Elise and loses  : So now to fix that, he wants an ordinary V8 or Tickford 6, Because a Turbo on his current car would WOGAFI it.  :

Just tell your mate that Lotus' are designed for women, have a look at the pedals, they are closer together than normal for that specific reason.

Your racing a 1600kg boat designed for families against a car designed for enthusiasts, of course your going to get your
 : .If you think its bad racing him in a straight line wait till you hit a corner, while the lotus will fly through it the falcon will most likely float into the closest pole. |

wow was u tired. Ok I will translate.
I was racing my friends Lotus. At no stage was I thinking I was thinking I was going to win. And man does it corner..I have driven it befor. The Road is in closed complex .Where i work... I will take some picutres of the industrial estate...You need a swipe card to enter....=No police and a healthy liecence. What i would like is a faster car with out butchering the immaculate looking EF I own. I will be looking for A FAIRMONT as I like there style and general look . I dont want to do up a car as such. i just want one that is quicker than my i6. Such variants are Tickford enhanced I6 or the v8... Hope that had more logic....  or maybe not

You must have had a wicked night last night mate.
I forsee you losing a crapload of money by selling your EF for another EF that goes marginally quicker. How would throwing on some bolt-ons (or a cam) be regarded as "butchering" your car? Remember, if it's reversable, it's not butchering ;) |

Exactly just get a - cam, chip, exhuast and extractors. That will get you going heaps faster than a Ghia with I6HO or V8. Then just store the original stuff in the garage and simply bolt it back on when you want to return it to stock. |

My mate owns a lotus elise as well (upgrade with the exige engine), and during a track day, it was running faster laps than a ferrari. Eventually he lapped the Ferrari.
There's a couple of vid's on top gear with the Exige model. They put a Helicopter gunship on it's tail and tried to get missile lock. They failed. Recently ran a new Mustang against the exige and the exige had it for Breakfast. 1.8 litre engine. They are quick. Well he proved it with the run against the Ferrari.
