When you describe the car that you have for sale as "the only one in world" you instantly qualify for the worlds biggest tosser award.

I'm amazed that someone could build such a thing and have such a poor grasp of the language that they speak... I know which is more difficult.

He's obviously a car infusiast!

Except it isn't, it's a saxo VTS 1.6 16v that somebody has bodged another Saxo VTS 16v into the back of.

Stereotypically or not, the ad sets alarm bells ringing, if someone works full time building racing cars yet describes people as "car infusiasts" and "big boys" I really doubt they're the type of people I want building something like this.

283mm rear brakes is going to be nothing short of lethal, yes it will have more weight in the back, but really? No mention of bias control, and the cooling appears to be "cut a hole in the rear wing" and "reverse bodge the rear window" open, so that should create a nice bit of drag on one side of the car.

The gears are described as "a bit tricky" and he recommends "trailering it away until you get used to it". There's also no way in hell it's road legal unless you have a particularly friendly MOT tester who's not too bothered about his testers certificate.

If it looks like a nail, and it sounds like a nail...

Rear wheel in the 3rd picture looks properly wonky but I'm not sure if it actually is or not...

Jizanthapus 26th June 2014 16:09

Also, why wouldn't he put it in the 'cars' catagory? Dumb ass...

I lolled.

You have used eBay before? ;)

I never get why people go down the twin engine route. I bet it drives and handles like a piece of shit. For what that cost him, he could have built a turbo vts engine and had some real fun.

kizmo22 26th June 2014 16:12

i dont get it? :s and of course i have! :P

i also love his spelling - 'Car infusiast'

It's probably not a genuine bid.

Yes...

D4MJT 26th June 2014 16:18

yup. You'd have to be mentally impaired, or on ket to pay £3k for that.

£3k in the 106 / saxo world would get you a seriously sorted 16v affair with decent suspension, brakes, probably caged, and with the added bonus of no large lump of iron cable tied into the boot ready to exit through your face in the event of a crash.

kizmo22 26th June 2014 16:18

woohoo! i know something :drink:
