conzy - software development
MCM - gas guzzling dept

LOL! just seen this now.

What job would I have if my username was Superstoner90 still?


Anywho, I been playing way to much need for speed, the run. It pisses me off so much!

Something is up with the car. Not too sure what it is.

Might need to do the valve cover gasket on it, think there might be a slight oil leak. There;s a bit of a smell of it, after a decent drive.

Weird moment coming home tonight. Was in a bit of a hurry and doing a tad over the speed limit on the M50 at around 00:30. I overtook a nice BMW which had definitely seen its share of improvements, neon, tinting, ect. Anyone no sooner had I overtook it, it undertook me, flashed it's hazards for a while. I overtook again and drove off and that was the end of it.

This was like a need for speed outrun challenge. Like does this stuff actually happen in Dublin or was someone ripping the piss? I was driving a Legacy estate, its hardly a race car.

That exactly it!!

It's a pity I love the look of the current one but this is a real disappointment, it looks much taller or something..... Definitely not as well proportioned as the current one IMO

And then we have the st:


The only difference on the outside between them would be lack of chrome and an st badge. Oh the fog surrounds are different too.

Yea and only 3 doors, which would be the only giveaway as all the feacki's have 5 doors now.

Kinda shows that the new RS if there ever will be one will be based off the Fez as well. They do always base them off the Rally car, which is now, a Fiesta.
