hope no offence is taken but is what does birdcage stand for?
as an anagram it is "Arced Big" , i am sure there is another meaning,
oh i had a 1200 nova which i drilled out the carb and fitted a kn filter so it had about 200bhp, then boring focus 1.8 ( what a alrounder though and in the wet was poetic round bends) a westfield 1700 xflow,
lotus esprit s4, and now have the 3200ac, alfa 166 3.0, sabb aero hot and 635 e24 bmw

Nissan 200 was a fast car in its day as well....

My 70 year old next door neighbour is keeping his XR3i on the road = never had the teledial wheels like this one and smokes like a chimney when it starts cold but serves hime well and will see him out no doubt... Had pleanty of welding done over the years (the car not him)....

Ok, I have decided to dish you out some of your own medicine, and banned you for 7 days, see if that cools you off a bit!

Gone soft now you're over forty Matt...??!!....I got an instant lifetime, permanent ban...........from BC when he was strutting about like a peacock.......;)

Renault, always had a bit of affection for some of their models especially the Sporty Clio's and Megane's, a guy at my primary school used to drop his son off in a Clio Williams, thought it looked ace with the gold wheels, it is now probably either wrote off or oxidising as we speak.

As for the Fords well, never been a huge Fast Ford fan although i do want a MK2 Focus RS in Lime Green, yes i am a chav :D

Fords never hit the spot for me neither.

Grew up in the my Dad was Ford fan boy. We had 3 TinCorners, sorry, I mean Cortina's a brown mk2GL a Daytona Yellow mk3 GLS (I liked that car) and a bronze mk4 (yuk).

I did look at Fiestas when I first passed but tgat was about it.

Never owned either except of the white panel Van variety , must admit their vans served me well but none of the car designs ever did it for me , i think from the first time i heard that they were cars produced for the masses it kinda put me off as ive always considered myself different and not quite normal (haha) so thats they way i went with cars
