The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Something else that annoys me is when people badge up their cars with badges that belong on other cars - especially when you're talking about putting badges from performance cars onto non-performance cars.

This evening I saw a 1.9tdi A4 with full quattro bodykit 18" RS6 alloys and a 1.8t style exhaust but with bigger tailpipes. Apart from the nasty mesh it looked ok except for the S4 badge he'd put on the back.... hearing a diesel come down the road and then seeing an S4 badge on the back I nearly wet myself - what an ar$e - why would you bother....

My mate wasn't so lucky when he 'lost the head' with them. He went into his workplace in town for a quiet piss at about 3am on Friday night after his night out - needless to say he had drink taken.

Security got spooked and called the boys in blue, who frightened the bejesus out of him when he came out of the cubicle. He called them every name under the sun for joining him in the jacks.

When they got him outside, he continued to hurl abuse at which stage he was thrown to the deck, handcuffed, bailed into the squad and then zoomed to Pearse street for a night in the cells (in his suit - minus shoelaces ). This was followed by a day in court to have a reunion with the Garda in question. Got off of course but twas an expensive and embarrassing lesson when he had to explain to his boss the following day.
