  • Bryan has hit the nail smack bang on the head.   I am looking at what I need.  Which honestly is err.. nothing. With the mental Citigo, quick Yeti VRS, practical Yeti and a Jap car or two I've alre

Because of the fact I seem to own 8 Skodas a Nissan and a Fiesta.

Without the Wife's Yeti.

Madness.

Not mad at all! Just hurry up and get the franchise :)

Madness.

 

I can see the attraction of buying the nicer ones.. the SE, the while vRS and having the Yeti's, ST and GTR (I'm sure I'd have a few more cars if funds/space allowed)... Its the FGF ****boxes that tell me you have a serious problem :P

The cheek!

I'm keeping those.

Of course, Richard needs a "classy" automobile for cruising around picking up his "girls".....

 

Using a different car each day makes it harder for the police to track his "escort" business drop offs and collections ;)

I think you are confusing me with someone else. :ph34r:

Have to admit I quite like the FGF estate. It's very tidy for its age. And to see all the cars parked up at back there is my idea of heaven! So many nice skodas.

No sign of a Euromillions win so I can't help you with your surplus VRS problem so I'm back to spectating.

 

Nice dry, sunny morning at Brands (once the mist had burnt off) with the usual General Car Track Day mix of Caterhams, Clios, Atoms, etc also a nice Ferrari 308 and a Ford Galaxie being trailered by a black 'Diamond T' outfit. Unfortunately it was the Galaxie's first outing and the engine gave out after just 6 laps.

FGF Estate? Challenge accepted! Go on Richard, youll have the car looking like a dog dragging its backside along the carpet Sideways in no time!

Stick a spare set of alloys on the FGF Estate just for a laugh and take a few pics. In my opinion it looks even better than the FGF hatchback, but then I've always liked estate cars.

 

Don't take any notice of Dan and Taylor, they're just Fantasy-green with envy.

 

 

 

Nurse! Nurse! Bring me my pills! I think I've caught secondary FGF'philia from Boss Fox!

40 miles later I can confirm it actually does drive OK.

Air-Con works too. :)

Nippy enough about town but gutless on the motorway.

A proper late 60's 'ish Galaxie?

 

I'm (regrettably) old enough to have seen them racing at Brands, along with Anglias & Minis.............

Also fond memories of Jim Clark & Graham Hill 3-wheeling through Druids in Mk 2 Lotus Cortinas.

 

Please forgive the nostalgia!

hooorraaayyyy!!

 

peak power and torque are around the middle of the rev range, so top end is lacking a bit, but its perfect for around town ;)

 

top-end isnt that different to the Citigo.

Yep, they'd only just got it up and running as well, such a shame.

 

It did look and sound like nothing else on track even though it was only being driven at 50%. If they can get the engine sorted they may be back on 17th but they're having trouble finding people with enough experience at building racing big block V8s.

Would you believe another FGF Estate has turned up on eBay! More expensive and with a slightly scruffy front end but anyone who buys it can drive around Stratford and make BF think that his new baby has been stolen.

 

My question is how do these cars just happen to come out of the woodwork as soon as BF starts buying them?

 

Do they all secretly yearn for a space in his depot?

 

Just waiting for the FGF Saloon to surface know.

Ill improve my offer to £6 for the roomster :P

I've looked into it and I don't think they did the FGF saloon

You mean it could be a mythical beast like a unicorn?

No they realised it would look truly brilliant and stop other Fabia sales

Indeed, but it's coming out.

Race is on!
