so far cars owned have been
1.1 mk3 fiesta (slow)
1.25 mk4 fiesta (also slow)
1.4 sri corsa c (standard vauxhall quality)
2.1zvh in a mk3 fiesta xr2i (would still have it sadly rust got the better of it)
2.0 sri astra turbo (no where near as quick as the xr2i but less rusty)

i have thought about the focus st, but the mk1 focus rs keeps tempting me... it is a rs after all . also they've all been fwd, wouldnt mind some rwd action

Why not get something different from the norm? I see people driving corsa vxrs,focus sts, astra vxrs every single day.

Try something rare and jap :cool:

It's ok, we'll just get the doc to rip the block apart. Haters.

That should help fix the piston rings he fried.

That would be the mad scientist, not "the doc", no?

Now you owe him a 10 second car.

had a look at some of these, vx220 many bad things on forums body/paint, elise cool, was more feeling the z4 an s2000.

What bad points have you seen about vx220s regarding paint?

I bought my VX220 about 3 weeks ago, yes there are some minor marks, and some very minor bubbling over the engine bay. BUT it is an 8 year old car, thats to be expected.

I wouldn't consider bubbling paint to be expected on an 8 year old car, my car is 18 and only has a tiny bit of rust.

hahaha

much better, thanks

But is your car mid engined and have fibre glass panels?

Mid engined yes, but no fibre glass. Is paint more likely to bubble on that than metal?

Yeah you do that...a Jetta with no brakes!

Seriously check it out.

No, because fibreglass can't rust
