1080 Raises the Bar


Lean Burn Technologies, Ardrossan, Ab: All available agents were called in last week to CWM Headquarters to assist in the cosmetic downgrading of 1080's latest Agency Cruiser to full S.C.U.M. specification, including a 1080 signature "If a little cam is good, too much cam is just right" engine rehab.
The 1979 Dodge Magnum finds 1080 not drifting too far from familiar, well-travelled territory, yet bravely seeking out the last couple of models from Chrysler's disco phase that he has yet
to own. Parked beside his collection of Ramchargers, Aspens, and Furies, the Magnum is as at-home at LBT as it is freakishly obnoxious everywhere else it goes. Full Presidential Endorsement as usual for 1080.
Special touches for this winter weapon include still-functioning transparent headlight covers, door locks apparently from another car, as well as the ubiquitous Grant GT steering wheel straight from the "Banned Accessories" list in the CWMC Field Agent Guide to Vehicle
Appearance. (Ch. 14 of Lou's Letter to the Parole Board, verses seven through eleven:
Let not thine Agency ride give shelter to these unholy things, for they can be purchased at Canadian Tire...)
The team of Headers and Shorty Duals again provide the soundtrack to this major motion picture.
The President, still recovering in his top-floor retreat at the Holiday Inn in Tofield from a spectacular series of traffic incidents that left him unable to drink for several days, was heard to remark that "semi-gloss black is the new flat black" shortly before returning to the little fort he had made out of couch cushions.

  2. All Agents are watching to see how long 1080 can drive the same car before getting bored and trading it off for something even less appropriate. The question is, what's left that he hasn't already owned, raced, gotten bored of and sold? He'll be Reliant Dave if this keeps up.

  3. Agent 1080 needs to get with the times. I feel he needs to explore forced induction. The great Turbo lag era comes to mind. Possibly something like a 86 Caravan 2.2L Turbo or maybe go more exotic with the Merkur XR4Ti. These are hens teeth now so it won't be an easy mission to obtain something worthy. Bring a head gasket with you.
