Any info on Lucky B's / Craig's / AK's?
Are they all front wheel drive?
As for my name, it's Dan, but 'Carolgees' is my nickname because I look like Bob Carolgees.. apparently.

Was Lucky B's not in a Redline feature? Seem to remember something about a Corsa Vs. Saxo day ages ago.

There's a possibility of the fastest car(s) on this board being performance tested if they're up for it? Maximum of two cars probably - at Bruntingthorpe
Anyone interested, drop me an e-mail with a list of your modifications and power figures / 1/4 mile times, etc. Cheers!

carolgees if you are from Redline then you will know of Lucky B`s corsa, apparently Redline said it was the fastest FWD car they had ever driven.

mine easy! 55 ragein horses,.
no but these are special horses that are like 5times more powerfull than regular horses, like horses on speed! i have a 20bhp sun strip, and some neon washer jets that give another 5bhp, and my bonet vent fules my carbs and releases the special turbo that vauxhall didnt tell anyone about.
so i can do a 9 second quater mile.

SetH> Are you calling me an imposter?! I didn't go on the thrash, but a very quick white Corsa rings a bell.
Adam> There's no-one called 'dan b' on the mag. I think you mean Davy's (green) Corsa, used to be owned by Renton. Yeah, I've driven it round Bedford and suprsied plenty of supposedly 'faster' machinery in it. Much fun!
As I said, anyone who seriously thinks they have the fastest fwd Corsa (or any other 'griffin' for that matter), drop me a mail at:
daniel.goodyer@futurenet.co.uk
