Nah, it is just the people that over rate their cars too much

I can't remember mentioning how awesome my car is for ages?

I mention my car because everyone seems to underrate it. Drive one and you will feel the powerz and the handlingz.

I don't think people under rate it at all, i think you just over rate it as it is your first car

Ordinary cars such as..Bmw 320d, Audi A4 2.0TDI Sline, Golf TDI, Audi A3 TDI. Any asian with a Derv will think he has some sort of super car, similar to myself with the Yaris.

'ANY Asian'?

I think you mean any Asian in Bradford

If that's the case, shouldn't the statement just be, "anyone in Bradford" then?

In other news I've just found the perfect car for Fox...seeing how he loves vauxhall.

He is hiding in the BMW thread, he may be gone a while

I like those, but I am a VXR fanboy.

Can't believe how much good 997 Turbos have come down in price.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2701701.htm

6 years old, from a reputable porsche specialist, nice colour, plenty of options, manual, with only 42,000 miles. RSJ have a reputation for only selling minters too, so that one should be in as good a condition as the pictures suggest. Cracking for just over 50k.

Looks like a people carrier, is a people carrier... Goes like stink!

It's only a 1.6T and has a 0-62 time of around 8 seconds, not so fast when you realise most diesel will keep up.

Joshy · 9 May 2011 at 20:51

Didn't they do a people carrier with the full fat Corsa/Vectra VXR lump, or have I just made that up?

Princey · 9 May 2011 at 20:54

The above is the Meriva VXR with the 178bhp 1.6T Corsa VXR engine, they did the Zafira VXR with the 240bhp 2.0T from the Astra VXR.

I drove the Zafira VXR and it was frightening fast for something that felt like a bus and like it would tip over on the next corner. However, it drove so much better than i thought it would - almost....fun???

I remember driving one of those on the VXR trackday, it cornered pretty well for a people carrier!

Fox can temp mod this thread cause I am too inebriated for the next 24 hours.

Posting links containing swearies isn't going to help your mod-case!

So already before I have even announced my official statement regarding my run at modship I am being slandered by the anonymous powers that be. Disgraceful, here I was hoping for a clean campaign on all fronts, this will not stand unaccounted for!

Maccy · 10 May 2011 at 10:08

I think you've only got yourself to blame on that one

Mega lolz at the BMW destroying Yaris.

Scania · 10 May 2011 at 10:35

I was destroyed off the line this morning by a yaris on the A41 near Watford.

I have 440BHP under my right foot, more torques than even a 320d(!) yet still I was humbled.

Wounded.
