So would I!

I say my Golf TDi has 90BHP in a lot of posts but no one seems to care for some reason. Still its made by the same group that make Seat LCRs so it must be quicker than your car anyway Schnozz.

(Its not so fun when mungo cant retaliate!)

Nope, we're definately not taking what with us !!

But we are taking our gorgeous Rosso Pearl 5L Chim - and can't wait 'till June...!

(However, am already trying to work out how we're going to fit in everything we need to take, and still get the roof down...?)

Sorry for making you feel inferior,will try not to mention the "800 BHP" next time!You didn,t say what you were taking?Come on now don,t be shy!

its ok. I didnt feel inferior. I have a large enough penis that I dont need a car like that thing in your profile. I heard it was more like 750bhp anyway on the rollers, but its your car so obviously you know more than I do.

if you read all the thread you will see I said I was going down in my TVR. I may need to ask to borrow half your engine if mine packs up.

It wont be hard to find Shnozz at Le Mans, he'll be in one of the bars....

Mr Viper replica will be found either dancing round his maypole or taking part in the annual "I drive a poor handling American bus and I have bigger sideburns than Elvis" competition....

I do think your viper looks great for a replica. So much so that I have been helping Shnozz re-create the look on his Chimaera this afternoon...



You can see that we used the same supplier as you for the rear wing.



What we need know is where you got the clingfilm authentic side windows and airfix stickers to put on the doors.

As for my wallpaper it is from a childrens toy shop, rather like your car.....

Is that Viper one of those replicas from the Fiero Factory? The factory do a Ferrari 355 too looks better than the fake Viper tho.

Venom your profile says your an Astronaut and your car has 800bhp so I take it this is a big wind up?

Or your a space cadet with a Viper replica with a Ford Sierra 2.0L chassis and engine?
