The EB V8 was auto. I can easily see it getting flogged by a lighter, and better geared, Telstar.

Just so we are straight here, we're talking about an auto EB V8 being beat by an auto 2.5 litre V6 Telstar??? |

im not gonna bother trying to convince this narrow-minded loser that dads telstar beat it.
downingj - it was a v8 eb fairmont, and i've driven one before, and off the mark they're weak as piss in stock trim.

Having a different point of view to the one you hold does not make me narrow minded, nor a loser. Indeed you need to have a good look at yourself before posting s#@t like that on here! I disagree, you disagree.............doesn't make either one of us losers. Your argument of essentially "just because......I was there" is noted. My argument of "uh-ugh.....don't think so!" stands. Move on!

Missed the point much? I think you need to take a look at yourself because of the way you react to people who disagree with you. Referring to them as 'Narrow minded loser....." or the like shows a lack of an open mind yourself. But then you are still young I 'spose and will mature with time and experience. smoke_rubber wrote: and i won't reply to this one either.
WTF? You are on drugs, aren't you??
