Guest Trash Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Nothing wrong with a Sierra for an Unders banger meeting Jamesy. Fair enough, they aint the strongest on the front end, but the backs aint too bad (better than a poobirds) an they handle well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was doing a deal with BoxerJack on Astras last year. Cars like the Roller and Limo were all paid for by the TV Companies for renting out on shows like Vroom Vroom, Top Gear and Ant N Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. Once finished with we can then race them. As for 3 or 4 a week, thats a slow week, lol. The last 2 weeks over 12 cars have come out of the workshop, including 5 or 6 for the Ipswich charity team meeting as well as 4 or 5 metros. The best we wver did was build 11 cars in one week, half of those were to promote the flatout video game at Wimbledon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
