Cougar S

[RichK]

Anyone know what happened to Christians Cougar ?

This was the latest thing i found on it. I know he rubbed a few up the wrong way but i did like the motor..even with the faults/criticism it had.

Never heard of the prat again.

Maybe he disappeared up his own backside and took the car with him in the resulting vacuum caused by his head being so large!

Shame the kits are still available so anyone can have one

Thanks for the link to that RichK, I needed a good laugh even now the sheer amount of bull$hit in that ad makes me howl!!

With regards the car, if its not being regularly sexually molested by someone as warped as its creator, it's probably either in use or found its way to a scrap yard??

Anyone know the reg? It's not on the list?

I'll try it Andy, on my phone and that pic is tiny!! The site it's on isn't mobile compatible so I can't zoom in either.

IIRC Steve, the buyer was from the Notts area but didn't join the forum.

Probably heard about Jim, Jim, Gary and freddy being members and thought it best to give it a miss.

That advert made me cringe.

that bloke was a bollock of the highest order

 

[ginja]

Here he is with is pride and joy

I hope someone buys it and treats it for what it is a very nicely modified to a pretty high standard Ford. That is all it is it has a few flaws very few tbh after seeing it in person and it looks lovely but Christian seemed to think it was the holy grail which it certainly is not.

before my time here but have read the build thread and wholeheartedly agree with your personality profiling!!

 

[V6SINGH]

Almost every other post was "exact replica of the recently sold $1.3 million concept". It was no more exact than anyone else's car! It was similar indeed and from a distance would fool the average Joe maybe but it was certainly not the car he thought it was. Plus the actual concept had been sold some years previous and not "recently". In any case yeah it looked alright but in the grand scheme of things it was a C2 with a bodykit. Whilst visually looking similar to the concept, that's where the similarity stopped.

Anyone else remember the first eBay ad were it was listed at £19995?? The ad that went on and on and on?? Then reappeared a few days later at £15995 because people had jokes at the price and he said "yes it maybe a LITTLE high"
