    "The Count Comes Forward"

    Hello Festiva Owners. Its Randolph here. In my home country I'm known as Count Randolph. I'm having so much fun with this. It always amazes me how some of you blokes can be so pompus. You saw only two photographs of my car and instantly assume i simply stuck on a few badge emblems. I can assure you there is much more to it than that.
    Those of you who found Grace and Favor in my project allow me offer my thanks in the highest regards, for it is said "All Truly Great Minds Think Alike". And for those who chose to dismiss my toy as a Joke and a Hoax, I have $100,000 dollars on a table that says it's got a nice gleaming BMW 325i complete with all it's state of the art German Technology under the bonnet. Are there either of you doubters who will step forward, match funds and counter my offer. Or let's make things easy and allow you as a group of doubters a chance to pool togather your Lunch Money and come to the table. Which will it be: Shall i Count you in, or Count you OUT!!

        Not a fan of the visor, but everythingelse looks good to me.

            I call shenanigans. I think if there was a BMW engine in your car, you would have shown it. And you can't really call a bunch of people who drive low-buck economy cars pompous. It's kind of an oxymoron. Most of the people who stated OPINIONS about your car in your other thread did so in a respectful manner.

              Im calling shens on this as well. If youre such a great fabricator, why didnt you rework that visor to fit properly? Instead of just bolting whatever you thought looked good and allowing it to bow in the middle from being too wide to begin with. If you wanted to impress us you shouldve made a point of showing us the engine bay 1st.
              And why exactly are you trying to come off like some Englishman? When your license plate clearly shows youre from Texas!

                  It's RWD? Because, if it's FRONT wheel drive, I just have to know HOW you fit that engine in there SIDEWAYS with the transmission.

                  By the way, what exactly are you doing for a trans?

                  Underhood pics, please.

                    If i were to put a under engineered "Broken Motor Works" engine in my festiva, i would of atleast started with a platform that has decent power. M3 only carries 333hp and even at those numbers a built bp can do that....

                    You didn't even take the time to mold the tail finisher into your hatch, what make you think i believe anything else about your ride..?

                    I got a feelling I'll be reading the thread "those who came before you"....maybe i could be wrong.

                      I AM having fun! Actually I was willing to let that 1st thread die a dignified death. Then you just had to start this thread and post that tripe about having a 2.5 ltr engine in your Festiva.Under the bonnet NO less! When anyone with 40/40 vision could even see youve got STOCK exhaust and drivetrain under that car.
                      You sure as heck didnt bolt a BMW 2.5 to a Festiva trans.

                          In a Festiva?!?

                          It would HAVE to be rear wheel drive.

                            Thats true. There are many great ideas that others have used on their cars. Some of them I fully intend to incorporate on Crusher and some of them I won't.

                            I believe BMW has a 2.5 v6 also. Either way it aint bolting to a Mazda trans, I dont care how great you are at ginsu engineering.
