140 bhp in a car that big . Must be slow as hell. Still, it's a company car so....

Nope, it's fine for what it is.

Don't think I ever posted pics of this mini? two photos edited v. differently cause I was messing around in PS and didn't care that much

I'd imagine it's just fine. It's not like it's built for drag racing, it's built for trundling up and down motorways all day.

Nice one Hxc, is that a union jack on the roof as well?

Is this a new one? Thought you had a GT...

I had a green cooper that I crashed, this is what I've had for about 8 months or so. Never had a GT, and yeee, union jack on the roof

I like the look of that, OrangePeel.

Half decent pics btw too.

diesels id say are as quick as petrol, maybe slightly noisier tho. We have a Audi A4, V6, 2.5, will do over 600miles on a full tank and that shifts when you floor it. I think people dont like admitting they have a diesel car

I only really notice that noise when the cars at a standstill, on the move i wouldn't say theres much in it between a petrol and a decent diesel.

Old photo... Mine and my mates Golf. He bought it for £100 with Tax and Mot Sold it now though, pfff

Picked up my BMW a few weeks ago, 120D M Sport 3 door. Couldn't be happier with it! Got it for what I think was a good price too





That is my brother's Golf GT TDi (170) next to it. Also a nice runner!

Not at all. It's quick enough for day to day driving and not slow by any means.

BHP is the wrong figure to look at really.

It produces 251lb/ft @1750-2240RPM which pulls it along wih ease. Personally I think it pulls well over 3K RPM despite the claimed figures.

Through the gears it's makes progress very well

Thanks

Luckily I had my camera with me when I drove past the park. Just a shame the car was dirty and I didn't have time to do some really nice pics.

Just aquired this barge

That's a mighty fine barge The definition of refinement alongside the S-Class

Just for you haters

After a good old clean

Are you not embarrased to arrive at work, go for job interviews, etc etc in a car that looks like that?

Bright chrome wheels, limo tints and a big exhuast on a Corsa diesel?

Are you 17?

According to his profile he's 24

I'm not sure what's worse, that or the chavved up Ka that appeared a few days ago

Embarassed at work? Far from it, everyone drives crappy loud cars so I fit in well

I'll go to an interview on a bus or park well away from the potential employer until I'm well in

Same goes for w/c 6/6 job interview
