that's like grandma slow then.
No one pays RRP cash for these cars.
It'll either be a lease or pcp, with a final payment to keep the car or hand it back.
My Golf R Estate is RRP £34k but it's only costing me £8k over 2 years then I hand it back.
its my race car for hillclimbing next year........... still need to ditch the rear seats. i will take more pics of the inside after the mot 
it feels like its doing at least 200mph when doing 60 as you can hear all the road and wind and tyre noise. Its very fun to drive as long as there are not straights longer that 1/4 mile.
I might bring it to the next OCUK rolling road day, so that the people with mx5's aren't at the bottom of the pony power list
also the stickers and orange wheels add 10hp each i was told.

yes the seats in it are rubbish, but it has 155 section tyres on it so there is no lateral grip. the seating wheel is rubbish as well. actually thinking about it, its an alto so everything is rubbish. a part from the driverI suggest you get a proper driver's seat.
I fall out of the driver's seat in my GF's Chevy Spark when I corner at even a remotely swift pace. Have to brace myself with my knee against the door. Not ideal
erm. its a long term project inspired by project binki. the final car should have a turbo or supercharged hayabusa engine and 4wd. until i move out it will get stripped and springs and that will be it, maybe some better wheels and tyres.
i have seen a few mini and a fiat 500 at harewood hillclimb with bike engines and they are great. the only problem is i would get kicked out if i start stuff like that while living at home

One time I was at blyton and there was a stripped out 1.1 106. Pretty much the same mould as the alto. Slowest thing there by a country mile but having a blast of a time with just lunch as a break for the poor thing. Credit where it is due the Peugeot took a battering and kept soldiering on which couldn't be said for mine as it blew a brake hose!
its all about the smiles per hour

1/4 mile in 13 seconds isn't anything to jump on your sofa waving your Audi flag about
For car like an S3 it is - it's very quick for what is really an ordinary Audi A3 with a range topping engine. It's not an RS3, remember.

Sadly not a P1, but quicker than an old overpriced Audi S3
So come on then, post some proof showing your car is quicker.
It’s the cheapest process to run a car which meets my current requirements.

agreed. would just save up for 4/5 years and buy a v8 vantage, C 4S, R35 GTR or audi RS6. all much better than a golf.
