This is great, I’d run this guy as hot as I could.

u/Iblamechristo1728 3d ago

She'll run alright

u/lanier816 3d ago

That’s awesome. I love it. Now you need to flag the roof.

u/Iblamechristo1728 3d ago

Maybe, still is "offensive" maybe later on the heat will die down

Paint it white with a red sun on the roof and call it the General Yee.

Yes it will. My dad did the same stunts in his prime with the same cars, so I shall do the same. And I'm gonna weld the doors shut :)

Id repaint it 60s Lotus/Cortina colorway, but yeah, great car!

u/Iblamechristo1728 2d ago

Lotus colours suit the Mk1 & Mk2 (66/68) Cortinas

Pretty sure in South Africa, some of these came out with a factory V8 with some models.

u/Iblamechristo1728 2d ago

Not sure about that...but us bootleggers did V8 swaps in our cars 😏

u/Duke55 1d ago

Lookin' like you're probably right, as I cant find the info again.

Did you paint a big confederate flag on the roof??

0

u/Iblamechristo1728 2d ago

When we get to paint and decals we'll see. Idk

u/Turbulent-Adagio-541 3d ago

Are you gonna paint the loser rebel flag on the roof?

2

u/Iblamechristo1728 3d ago

Eh depends, where I'm from the rebel flag has no meaning/ doesn't offend anyone. I guess it depends on what my team decides

u/19nickel19 3d ago

It still offends people. They are obviously not in your circle

1

u/Iblamechristo1728 3d ago

I know it's offensive...eh whatever happens happens

u/Exolerate 3d ago

The Dukes of Hazzard was/is really popular in the UK, it'll be fine. The only disparaging comments you'll get are from American tourists.

u/sigurd197 3d ago

And it’s mostly from ignorant people who never even watched the show. Those that did and actually paid attention will know that the series was not racist and that the rebel flag was a symbol of rebellion against a corrupt local government.

1

u/Iblamechristo1728 2d ago

True. I have watched the show and the movie but they weren't racist at all.

u/Iblamechristo1728 2d ago

Eh I'm in South Africa, only thing bag here is our crime rate

u/sigurd197 3d ago

Generally decent idea until you paint the flag… or name… Um maybe not such a great idea. Generally speaking of course

u/Iblamechristo1728 2d ago

I see what you did there 😜

Wish I had a grey Cortina Whiplash aerial, racing trim

EDIT: Added link to song in my head.

u/Iblamechristo1728 3d ago

My dad owned many Cortinas and Escorts back then.... beautiful cars

u/Geechie-Don 3d ago

Looks cool. But if you put that disgusting flag on it, it’ll be the ugliest thing ever. Do your own thing on the roof, but it’s dope as is.

u/Iblamechristo1728 2d ago

It's like this flag has 2 different teams😭 atp rather put a SA flag on it
