Coupe'd, Mid engined, fuel injected, twin cam, ford zetec powered, 2 seater.

Don't worry, I generally end up with a lot more bits left over than that!

My car was at the show and you have made many derogatory and insulting remarks about it, probably more than any other custom on the field, and you say you've not seen it?

reverse gear selected

Now I've finished eating I will explain just how far out of your league you are, I am an ex cosworth engineer, I worked on many performance / race cars including the metro 6r4 which was later banned for being too powerful, I worked restoring classic jaguars including D type , E type, Mk2 and shelby ...

[ quote="HotRod"]Actually he has been involved in this discussion and has every right to speak his mind, you on the other hand are argumentative, critical and down right insulting, "the likes of hotrod"? what's that supposed to mean, sounds derogitory to me, if anyone should shu...

Now you just made a judgement on welding, an uninformed judgement, not only have you not seen the welding but the guy who does the welding is a multi award winning expert and he's also my brother so there's no way on earth he would risk my life with dodgy welding and it's a 350 amp 3 phase mig not s...

Actually Mike has been involved in this discussion and has every right to speak his mind, you on the other hand are argumentative, critical and down right insulting, "the likes of hotrod"? what's that supposed to mean, sounds derogitory to me, if anyone should shut up and get a life it's y...

Where did I say "easy"? :-? I'd gladly chop any car if I thought it was a good candidate, a mog is In other words, easy. Your just tyring to nit pick now, which aint cool. EXACTLY, you twisted that to say "EASY" a good candidate is a car which would make a good hotrod or custom ...

All I can say is with all the testosterone and passion for all thing Minors flying around.. the little luvable moggy in whatever form will be around for a long time yet. :D Well I hope so. But with 'Hotrod' here, if he gets his or her way, they'll see every Minor with a roof chop, flared wheel arch...

Where did I say "easy"?

Still not there are we? easy to chop up? NO! a nice looking car as a base to a nice looking personalized car, get it? if I didn't like to look of the minor why would it still be identifyable as a minor by it's appearance, if I didnt like the look of the minor I'd "chop up" something I did ...

If you find other peoples cars so offensive why did you go? Thats a silly thing to say. If you read the rest of this thread, it started off by inquiring when does a car become a different car due to the amount of modifications. Thats how we got to this. Also, do you not think the person claiming ca...

sorry but who is this directed at?

At the end of the day we all have our own views, this is supposed to be a light discussion not a personal war kingzdjc so chill, you tell me where I ever said anything derogatory about standard cars, where did I say cars should All be modified or scrapped, where did I pick fault with the standard ca...

Ok, did anyone notice the bright yellow "Bumble" Morris Minor? opinions on this one then? is this still a morris minor or is it something else?[frame][/frame]

(Look what happened to some of the old 30s Fords, ie the Ford model B, the V8. Its next to impossible to get hold of a standard one, nearly everyone in existance now has a 'roof chop' or has been made into a 'hotrod'.) Fantastic! Customising cars has been going on for as long as cars have been in e...

I have a question, This photo has been modified, is it still a photo?[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1341525622_17180 [/frame] Now this was all started by comments made about the validity of the diesel front wheel drive car, that car has some fantastic engineering, its easy-ish to fit a b...

you are of course entitled to your opinion

The diesel car was rescued, it had it's roof stoved in by kids jumping on it, floor was rusted out, no engine or box, most of the running gear had been stripped and it was growing in the grass, as for build quality, take a look at the stage photos, it's built like a tank and will out last time itsel...
