    And get this..... My first car was a...... Drumroll please 🥁🥁🥁🥁 A Vauxhall Nova!!!

     

    You started off well then lad 😁👍👏

     

    This Nova was my second car and got my hands on it when I was 18 years old! Bought it off my work mate for £1000 if I remember right. 

     

    I always wanted to get to get a Nova GTE - with the 1.6 ltr engine. That or a Peugeot 205 1.9 but it never happened! They were about 6k and outta my price range!🤣

    I am actually considering getting in touch with my inner boy racer now

     

    Have fun pal and show the boys at Maccy Dee’s how a reverse doughnut is done!🤣🤣🤣

     

    Just don’t go painting it yellow, insurance rental company won’t be happy🤣

    A work mate has already told me I’m on lunch duty tomorrow so we can “Test it’s capabilities” 😂

     

    Does this involve driving down to the McDonalds drive thru and doing some burn outs in front of all the other scally boy racers? 🤣🤣🤣  Then have them drag race/chase you down the bypass? 🤣🤣🤣

     

     

    On a serious note glad you are ok mate! Cars are designed to crumple/crush up to absorb as much of the impact as possible. Because of this and the expense of repairs the insurance companies are very quick to write them off! 

     

    I feel for you mate as the same thing happened to my Mrs just before Christmas 2017. Rear end smash - Cracked bumper, smashed rear lamps and the boot wouldn’t open and car was written off! The person who did it was all apologetic at the time then changed their story once they left the scene. 

     

    Anyway @Pbsw23 hope this cheers you up - we’ve all been there with the scally boy racer cars! Here’s a photo of me back in 1998 in my 1.2 Vauxhall Nova! Mustard yellow 🤣🤣🤣

    Man I loved this car - there wasn’t much I didn’t do to this motor! I took the cylinder head off, polished n port the head, fit it with a high lift cam, twin choke Webber carbs, K&N air filter, 4 branch manifold, stainless steel exhaust middle and tail pipe. I had fox racing wheel on it after this pic was taken. The dash would vibrate like hell at 90mph, it spat oil from every gasket and was lumpy as hell on idle! But it went like stink - the induction on it was crazy! Did the Santa pod run in this- Good times 😁

    It’s alive here in the English room @basil lad 👍

     

    I just wish people would take pictures of their pick ups and post them in here more often. It cheers me up if I’m at work an see someone has picked up a nice edition. I don’t always have time to reply until the evening, but it’s great to see people loving the same films as you.  It’s what Media Psycho’s is all about!

    Dad sold the 72 Charger last year and is eyeing one of these new Challengers.

     

    Your Dads getting cooler by the minute!!! 🤣🤣🤣

     

    My hall stairs and landing is nearly finished! What a job that’s been! Just waiting for the gloss to dry properly then I can put the light fittings, plug sockets and security sensors back up! The end is in sight!

     

    You’ve not finished your lounge then? 🤣🤣

     

    I couldn’t have my Steelbooks on display in the lounge- kids would be all over them! My 3 year olds got a habit of eating Bluray case inserts! Don’t believe me - take a look 👇👇👇

    Yeah it’s an annual Father Son event 😁👌🏼 In fact for the first few Dragstalgia events my Grandad came as well, 

     

    Thats awesome mate 👍 Bet you really looked up to your Dad - sounds like a top bloke! Like you said 13 seconds is great time for a classic muscle car.

    Nostalgia dragsters. Slingshots, Gassers, 70’s Funny Cars etc.

     

    My Dad & I are big Mopar fans, so love to see all the old Challengers, Chargers, Cuda’s, Road Runners etc etc race each other, but the highlight is the Top Fuel Funny Cars.

     

    Sounds awesome @Pbsw23 , I think the last time I went was way back in 2005! Things were a probably a bit more lapse back then and I bet a lots changed. I have some old photos of us at Santa Pod up in the loft (the old type you took to Boots to develop) 🤣. May try and dig them out if I get time this week.

     

    I’ll take your word that Dragstalgia is the one to go to now. Glad you have something like that to enjoy with your Dad - did he do Santa Pod weekend with you? Did you take your twin boys or was it with the lads? I may take the girls there when they get a bit older but think it may be a bit too noises for them! I took them to Blackpool air show and they just sit there covering their ears🤣

    the Jet car Fire Force 2 for the event (There are 5 Fire Force cars) which also ran 6secs, and then they have lunatics like this guy who sets fire to himself just to do an old fashioned fire burnout! 😱

     

    Man those things are dangerous! Need to know what you are doing! Remember what happened to Richard Hammond off Top Gear 😱😨 But like you say great entertainment 👍

    Considered by many to be the greatest ever actress (and no, it’s not Meryl Streep).

     

    I had bit of help to find the answer off my foreign friend Leg Oog!

     

    To be honest I never would have got that, bit before my time I’m afraid 🤣

     

    I won’t give the answer so somebody else can get the point 👍
