jimser Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Compared with the Yellow one i would regard the Blue car as very sensible and Imy's RA is now regarded as Lexus like with its s****y heating and radio lol cars looking good in some of them close up pics mate. do your own thing

corsa Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Ok so it may everyones cup of tea and to be honest it doesnt really do anything for me but each to their own. there are so many versions and so many different opinions on cars,some may like it others dont. Stephen, does it really require a moderated warning just because someone says something that others may not agree with,dont think so. Davie
craigdmcd Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I saw the car yesterday when Grant came in to collect the "old blue thing" (which is very tidy underneath for anyone wanting an "interesting" car), and have to say the Banana is very nice. There are a lot of detail touches on it that make it an awful lot of car for it's money. To be fair, Grant has noticed a few points that can be improved upon, and I'll hopefully get the chance to help him get it nigh on perfect. The first 3 points that were a fuel pressure regulator (noticed by Grant), and next there seems to be a restrictor on the turbo (which sits beautifully), which will be removed if possible and Mr F then can work some real magic. The last thing I commented on was how the car lacked a heater which Grant wasn't overly bothered about, but a heated screen was on his wishlist, so that has now been sourced. I'm desperate to see a club stand somewhere with Wilky's car and the Banana beside it to see how big the crowds would be. We could even have the Welsho's IrnBru 32 car beside them to fill a stand
higgy Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Nice Big banana for the Big monkey lol Looking good Grant Higgy Edited March 1, 2009 by higgy
st3ph3n Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Stephen, does it really require a moderated warning just because someone says something that others may not agree with,dont think so. You're 100% right Davie. However when the comment comes from someone who joined then 9 minutes later posts that then disappears I have to question their motives. The post could easily have been removed and no one any the wiser but I chose to leave it and moderate the posts until we know the account is genuine.

Stephen, if an established user has went to the bother to do that then having his post moderated is the least of their worries. Surely if they have an issue with Grant or just plain don't like the car they'd have the balls to say so?
Guest CRAIG D Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Are there still 5 left or have any been written off?? How long has it been in the country?? Just been nosey that all
G.T. Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Stephen, if an established user has went to the bother to do that then having his post moderated is the least of their worries.Surely if they have an issue with Grant or just plain don't like the car they'd have the balls to say so? maybe its someone who already has his posts moderated im sure grant doesnt give a 4x who likes his car or not main thing is that hes happy with it id be pleased to own a car like that for what its worth
