vxr's very quick cars !

2000 Rover 25 GTI (1.8 VVC)

It's cheap, quick enough and fun to drive. Quite comfortable too. Would pick one again over most cheap super minis! Saying that, wont actually be getting another super mini! (I hope...)

I haven't looked after it very well to be honest, I gave up after I realised the state of the paintwork after a dodgy respray by a previous owner. Wont be making that mistake again... Still, served me very well over the past 3 years

A brillo pad would sort that paintwork right out - would distract from the colour

Heh, because a silver Mondeo has sooo much character of course

Actually, a brillo pad might work, thanks for the idea! *Runs off to try*

...er, well it got rid of the lacquer peel....

Nice! Might be my next car too, one thing though... how are you finding the interior? as bad as it looks?

only thing putting me off!

1CE · 9 Sep 2009 at 21:59

They're not that bad, the seats feel pretty hard, but they hug you plenty well, mroe so than the zetec seats. Nice design to them as well

Nice little car, the 25 GTi

Good engine and better suspension than the grandad spec models... fun car to drive!

Nice cars though

My 2004 BMW 320d Touring

Loving it so far, just got ~50mpg on a 150mile blast, which is double what my CTR was giving me.
