Yep sure do, met him through the car scene years ago, now were good mates. I'll be at Calibre later actually so i'll pass the message on from Damo, i'm sure he'll have a chuckle when he reads it

Thats opften the point we talk about, since that car there has been nothing to the same standard in the uk! The next one will be even bigger and better, and will be seen on the road!

You've got to admit though, it is seriously dodgie that it just catching fire just like that is convinent to say the least.
Same with that Karthik bloke whos M3 went "missing/stolen"  a few months back, get the insurance cash invest in the business AFTER the car has done the features, got the business the advertising for what it was built for.

If you are on about K's red and white M3 on 22s then the car was found, had a bit of damage on it but he now has it back and didnt get any insurance money.

There have been plenty of cars to the same standard done for less, tbh you'd have to be pretty retarded and non business minded to spend 150k on a vauxhall astra, at other companies and then represent it as your work. Then for it to be burnt out and to try and sue a one of the companies that helped build it for you tbh you should be laughing at yourselves not daimos comments morons!

I remember looking in the engine bay of the old CC Astra MK3 on 20" at PV years ago and noticing that the (V6 NoS'd) engine number had been ground off, just an observation.....

Do you wanna list these other cars? All the modded mags are featuring cars from abroad as nothing is coming out of the uk.

Anyway a pikey is a term for somebody who has no fixed address and lives in a caravan, not somebody who owns their own business, numerous vehicles and multiple houses. Maybe your closer to being a pikey?
So im not allowed to form an opinion of someone after meeting them
YES SIR, THANKYOU SIR, ANYTHING ELSE SIR...... 
Maybe im closer to being a pikey... Probably..... Frankly, do i care what you think? Im not craving internet coolness points cheers.
And you don't get all that through owning JUST a modified car workshop.............
You putting your "mate" more and more in the dodgy w4nker section..
Please do pass on my comments. Mind you, might go to a show and come back to my car to find it on fire or something.....
PS....
I#'ve seen quite a few Evos, Skyline, and what about Martins Escort...? Cars that all actually work... Whats the point in owning a car that you hardly do anything on, pass it off as your own work, oh, and one small other thing...
It didn't work on the road.
I think some guy whos got 20"s alloys on a corsa looks rediculas, but at least that car gets driven all over the UK and europe. I doubt the astra even got the keys in the ignition to drive it onto the trailor....
Wonder how it would have gone IF it could have driven on the road, what with the huge straing on driftshafts, components etc... Im sure Regal strengthened all the engine bay etc for the V6 SC engine as well....
At least the old green astra got driven. Oh, hold up, Carisma done all the interior etc on that too didn't they
Please do pass on my comments. Press ALT + P then press Return to print this screen.

About the car?

About its structure?
About its Engine/Transplant?
About its ICE install?
Etc etc yadder. As said, please feel free to pass my comments onto Mr Dodgy... Next up he'll re-name the company Midas or something won't he...
