250bhp..... NOT

Postby StewyD32 » Wed Apr 13, 2011 6:05 pm

This has to take the the worse add award.
http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/2068530

Car has been on sale in several counties in the last year but this is the only one that really wants to be retarded.

I got a little excited then I saw what I thought was a dyno print out but was just a bhp comparison he copied and pasted.
And don't get me started on the YouTube video. Someone has to smash the cd he's playing :smt021

Absolutely dreadful Ad and a horrible example of an FTO (a 98 FTO with a classic front??) - we won't talk about the laughable power claim.
BUT that video! :smt011 - driving at over 170KPH (steering/tracking way off) and then overtaking on a single white line in a 50kph zone at speed (at least 140kph) and then putting the video up on line with your reg. :roll:

I don't normal comment on crap/misleading ads (especially donedeal, it seems to be a magnet for some seriously dodgy stuff), but this one is so bad.

Yeah, where to start really? Oh look, this is how I drive the $hit of the car! Dangerous, and just plan stupid. Then 250bhp, and I thought wait, there's a dyno sheet, are we missing something? No, dyno sheet isn't even for a specific car!

All it was missing was the "one careful driver"! Although admittedly "no test pilots" would have been more ironic... fuppin retard. (No offence to retards!)

I spotted this yoke years ago. Gonna email the guy

I wrote:Hi Pat, saw your FTO there, looks fast.

Had one before but it was only 200hp. did the chip cost a lot? is it a new ECU or did they remap it??

Tried to boost the power on mine with decat and cold air intake, iridium plugs etc, but couldn't find anything to get me up that much.

Is there any NCT on the car, also whats the craic with the back bumper, looks like there's a big chunk missing on the passenger side? Have you had it long, remember seeing it years ago on the N7

Good man Pat, reg and all up for all to see!!! Great advert for irishcruises.com- what a total ar*ehole he is.
