stevemac 0 Posted October 25, 2003 Rather unfortunate choice of picture. Isn't that the abortion with the late Golf headlights ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubster82 0 Posted October 25, 2003 No its the Car Max Power built a few years ago when wide kits were in fashion... It was Bright Orange and apptly named "Mad Max" It has a very large engine spec though from memory it is only a 16v. It also had very lairy ICE that i last heard had been stripped out. i also heard that it was purple nowadays, but that pic shows blue... its also unfortunate pic cause i cant see the wheels which were originally split reim "Image" custom jobbies...... I'll get me coat...... :oops: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danger Mouse 0 Posted October 26, 2003 The rear spoiler was enough for me to say.........NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Why kill an amazing looking car... I suppose, at least its not as bad as the cream one that G60jet posted, there really was no justification for that one!!! Shoot the bu**er Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted October 26, 2003 the Max power C is about 7-9 years ago now from what i remember, I was my pre Uni days i remember that much. I thought it got wrote off. I also heard project thunder hit a milk float!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubster82 0 Posted October 26, 2003 yup, it is a very old car now. though it was fresh in its day. It never got wrote off though. alot of people think that. It was Project Thunder that got wrote off. Right through the window of a music shop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slot 0 Posted October 26, 2003 I did'nt realise that it was such an embarrasment to be associated with max power !!! i'll gladly admit thats were my car modifiying days started !! :? :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubbprince 0 Posted October 26, 2003 i think it was Max powers first cover car..the corrado that is. not bad for its time! it was when the c first came out too...around 1990. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubster82 0 Posted October 26, 2003 It wasn't Max Powers first cover car at all. It was also done about 1996. i was actually, freakily reading the issue on i today.... Max powers first cover car from memory was a 205 with a dimma kit Other projects have been "XS" (Purple 325 beemer with a wide kit and split rims) "RS Kicker" a Blue Escort Turbo with TSW evo's, "Thunder" a carlton with a one of kit, huge rear spoiler bright yellow paint with a two tone glow in the dark yellow at the bottom, "Mad Max" The Corrado "Rieger kit, 20K interior 30K engine and body (170bhp 16V) "project 2000" A Porsche Pink RS2000 with full engine spec, custom stripped interior and roll cage with 17" multi spokes and a Genuine Rally spoiler chopped up to fit. "Project Maxo" A Silver Saxo, completly stripped out interior with Ice custom fitted round the cage, nuthin lairy a full genuine Citroesn Rally arch kit with genuine Carbon Spoilers front and back, again Genuine racing jobs. And they'r last one A really really really bad Astra Coupe, which initially had good plans for it, but then Vauxhall released the Extreme hologomation edition for DTM use So they tried to be different and F***** up Bigtime. Ruined a perfectl reasonable car. Crap kit, crap wheels really crap paint job etc... whats worse, its cost them masses. :pukeright: Where is my coat again? :?
