V8 X1/9

But why

Link

Probably hard to drive because it has no brakes and it has to be one of the worst looking mods I have ever seen.

Vehicle Description

Well, that's something to be thankful for then!





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

"The true meaning of Hot Rod"

True meaning of "Crap", more like! I mean, even supposing for a microsecond that doing it was a sensible thing, why wouldn't you make the wheel arches smooth curves, rather than like the edge of a 50p piece!

Amazing... I'm almost tempted to watch it to see if anyone bids.

NEEDS TO BE IN A MUSEUM SOMEWHERE.
- one with no windows or doors so no one ever has to see it

IT IS EXPENSIVE AND SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY.
- it is crap and you would have to have lost all your marbles to even consider enquiring

THIS IS THE TRUE MEANING OF HOTROD.
- so now we all know to avoid hotrods.

you lot are a bunch of losers, what a fanatstic car, looks like a million dollars I'd say.

I'd bid if it only wasn't so far away, not sure about the the no brakes? Maybe for the best for a quick demise?

Anyone remember the episode of the Simpsons where Homer designs a car for his estranged bro'?

I've always liked the X1-9...until I saw this one. Left a bad taste in my eyes (?!?). Seller says it needs to be in a museum...I think it needs to be in a hole...with dirt shoveled over it.

I was going to have a moan at you lot for knocking the X1/9, thinking how can they be so nasty about someone's modified classic. Then I went and had a look at the link.

Boy am I glad I kept quiet!

The guy certainly has a sense of humour asking that much for it!

Amazing as it might seem he got no bids.
Never mind what the X1/9 owners are saying what are the big bucks US hotrod crowd going to do to him?
