You would think they would learn....

And here is the original El Camino, well this is 3rd generation I think, but you get the idea - It didn't look good then either. :sign0082:

Ford FG 01 Supercar!!!

Ford built a new V8 Sportcar, they worked with the Ford Performance Racing teams, Triple 8 en Stone Brothers Racing.

2010 Camero

I have never really liked cameros, but this one looks pretty sweet - hopefully they designed it with some handling in mind.
the photo here is the ss model which comes out not long after the normal model. The SS is usually got a bit more HP.
this link is to some testing photos at Nurburgring:

I agree Kevin, they look like they came off a WRC car.

merged clean up thread

Hey,

Seen this done on a few forums and thought why not have a go here!

Il start off by listing my car history!

Here is my first car which I got in 2004,

It started life as a standard Ford Fiesta Zetec-S

After a while the mod bug hit me and after some time and money this is how it was in it's last days!

And then it got treated to a FRP engine conversion!

155bhp, which in a Fiesta is quite nippy!

Then Unfortunately at 6am on October 30th 2007, this happened.....

On rural roads in Stoke, I was the only person involved and the accident was caused by a spillage of diesel on the road, I lost the back end coming round the corner, couldnt correct it in time, spun 180 degrees, hit the curb and rolled over three times and through a stone wall!

And then everyone expected me to get a poo car...................but i bagged myself one of these!

A Focus RS

Started out life like this!

Which has now turned into this!

Currently 260bhp, soon to be 300bhp after I get an Forge Actuator and a new tubular manifold!

Lets see what you drive!

 

[Clive Siggs]

Nice RS, I owned one too, Number 2770

Sold it after 6 months though (after making 2 grand on it) and bought a motorbike instead. Got to admit, I do miss it sometimes

Anyways, there is another thread with this kind of content already, take a look;

[Clive Siggs]

Hehe, no worries - this board is probably the right place for such a thread anyway

My visite to Spyker

Today i went to the Spyker racing car factory for a visite.
This whas a nice way to see what they are doing there in Zeewolde.
Whe where invited by my boss .
There whas a nice gentlemen that give us an inside vieuw of Spyker.
Whe where aloud to take picture`s of almost all the cars that where present.
There where also cars that where not aloud to photograph.( customer cars and test vehicles ).
Both the cars where present that run at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Sadly enough they only drove for 6 hours to retire with engine problems.
Spyker is powerd by Audi engines.
A nice look whas that Spyker has a model where at the passengers side also is a speedo and rev gage.
So your passenger can see howe fast you are driving.

It whas a nice day with very interesting story`s.

Here are some picture`s of that visite.

The car on the bilboard is Spyker newest creation.

In one word: WOW!

Must have been a great morning then!
