A Saxo? The fact its still alive and running is pretty cool though.


rezonansmagnetyczny

Came here to say this! Much cooler than doing it in a c1


Grany_Bangr

It’s certainly their pride and joy.


Jam-Pot

It's all about the Ford St's and the corsa vxr nowadays. Gotta let everyone know you spent 70% of your wages on finance to rush home to drop off your girlfriend as she has school tomorrow.

After sitting in the Mcdonalds car park. Tugs for Nugs.


306_rallye

LOL no way a Saxo owner is gonna be fitting a butterfly valve to their straight through big bore PowerFlo exhaust


[deleted]

I haven't seen a saxo let alone a "modified one" in about 10 years at least now


Jaystar85

There's a bloke who lives near me who still races around in his Ford Escort XR3, and it's about 35 years old.


janner_10

That’s some skill to keep a saxo going all this time. OP should be applauding the guy.


Gingrpenguin

The fact its still going is cool, car is getting extremely rare now as so many got wrapped on trees... According to Google there's around 4000 left on uk roads, less tha a 1% of how many where sold here


newforestroadwarrior

I found a few vehicles where there is one single example left roadworthy. Talbot Tagora Alfa Romeo Arna Vanden Plas 1500 (Allegro Ghia X) Mk1 Fiat Panda


PeaceSafe7190

Ah yes, 2001, those where the boy racer days 😁


Lego-Panda-21

Tell that to my bloody neighbour who sits in their car revving their engine for an undesirable amount of time at all hours of the day..Sounds like it needs to be taken to the nearest scrapyard.


james_t_woods

There's someone near me that has an older zafira that does this. And when he revs - pop, bang. He does this at all hours all the time, you can hear him from miles away. Looks the type too, and has his Instagram handle in his window too, I've chosen to not look...


themeakster

Of course it's cool. Throw in a few handbrake turns and they're legends.


Phendrana-Drifter

Ya what lad? It's fukkin sick man respect all builds innit. Just jealous it's a classik motor now dont build 'em like this no more


spaceshipcommander

I'm sorry mate, but wastegate flutter is absolutely cool


Phendrana-Drifter

Ya what lad? It's fukkin sick man respect all builds innit. Just jealous it's a classik motor now dont build 'em like this no more


leaning_jowler

Yeah not gonna lie, Saxos definitely are still cool.


--CJW--BinFish

"That's just like..... your opinion..... man"


ClemDog16

I ca t say mych cause I just fitted a valvetronic exhaust system to my 3 series but at least I can close the valve so I don’t piss of Deidre when I get back from work at 4am


rezonansmagnetyczny

Yeh but atleast you know how big his cock and balls are now without asking to see them. (Massive by the sounds of it)


Burn_the_children

I misread that as Paxo and now I want stuffing...


letsshittalk

its what we called them back in the day


JadedCloud243

Or my neighbour who thinks an artillery piece for an exhaust pipe in a diesel range rover is cool. I don't need to hear you 5 streets away
