    oh look at the title of the thread......

    my car is my favourite becuase i own it.

    now, do you have a problem with that?

    No no problem.. jeez relax.. just having a laugh.. maybe at your expense alright.. but its funny how proud you are of that car.. you have paternal insticts towards it almost..

    I'm only new here, been posting on a regular basis for the last 4 -5 months... but i knew about that car within a week or so of you getting it and the little reminders just keep popping up...

    no offence meant mate... :D

    sorry, i apologise.

    yes, it is almost parental. im damn proud of my car because i earned it. i always wanted a convertable and now i have one.

    and no, its not expensive, it doesnt have this that and the other.
    it cost me 5 grand sterling, its 12 years and its only a 1.6i, but damn it, the roof comes down, its got a cd player (expertly blugeoned in by my good self) and its a rear wheel drive so i can do lots of power slides in the wet.

    but yes, i do love my car

    it doesn't look quite like this now, as a bus decided it would like to drive in my lane at 60mph, and hit me head on, on Jan 16th. I wrote the bus off, damn good car in an accident. I shall be buying another :)

    chernobyl that looks like a skyline r34 right? saw a r33 that pumped out 650 hp leavin most super super cars in their tracks
    see if i can get a pic up


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,682 ✭✭✭chernobyl


    Its a 400R.
    I have no idea of the specs, but out of the box, it revs up to 10,000 RPM and can waste any super car, with some boy racer tuning and japanese super chips the power would be over 1000BHP but you probably loose all the handling...

    That orange concept car just looks like a bog standard opel astra with a crappy boy racer body kit on it adnans :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,967 ✭✭✭adnans


    but its got those Back to the Future type of doors. that definitely means you can time travel in comfort and style :)

    as you can see, this isnt another boring opel astra. the women are attracted to its mysterious flux capacitor and body curves.

    Its a 400R.
    I have no idea of the specs, but out of the box, it revs up to 10,000 RPM and can waste any super car

    the 400R is a skyline gtr with 400bhp hence the name.. it was a limited edition made by Nismo (similar to Subarus racing arm Prodrive), im pretty sure its 4wd and a twin-turbo (as opposed to the gtrs single) but dont hold me to that :)

    Not a great fan of the R34 myself, too ooh look at me, older skylines are a lot more understated and look much nicer imo.

    btw im pretty sure a caterham r500 superlite could beat it 0-60... mmm 500bhp/tonne.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,601 ✭✭✭Kali


    just to add..that astra concept is just a way of getting attention to the astra coupe 888. btw there was a limited edition of 100 replicas of the (btcc winning) astra coupe touring car made by a german company last year, to full btcc specs as well, 4wd, ~300bhp ... think they cost about £80k sterling each... ill try and dig up a picture, pretty sure its in a copy of autosport somewhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 227 ✭✭Odian


    if i cudnt go for the skyline id go for EVO V11

    this is slick!

    cscarnoplate.jpg

    A nice car ( Civic VTi 160bhp from a 1.6) with the ultimate security....and unlike German Shepards, these guys can both start and put out fires...
    (this is a real, unedited picture from Limerick)

    But seriously....my dream car.....Toyota Supra...Superchargered *froth*

    Like me garden gnomes?

    Well, have a look at this!

    http://www.cruiseirl.com/cars/supra.html

    Check the full spec... I'd say only stock item left in the car are the rubber seals on the boot and doors!

    Those are crap, except the mustang, now I think you'll agree with me that if you see this bad boy in your mirror you move over fairly sharpishly.


  • Registered Users Posts: 857 ✭✭✭Corega


    Apologies for the crap layout and untidiness but as you can probably tell I only registered with boards this morning and only learnt the english language yesterday. Please, someone teach me the intricacies of posting pics :(
