My man

I will post a picture of the shopping trolley handle for you, and so the others can spit on it.

FN2s are **** Noxia. Don't bother, you make me ******* sick :rolleyes:

Noxia · 27 Nov 2012 at 17:52

Ha, each to their own I say, I just don't feel the need to bang on about how other models are worth more Mcdonalds carpark points or that they haven't aged well.
What matters is that everyone enjoys their own choice.

I need to get my car down to TDi north and ask him how he can make it quicker round a track than the EP3 time attack car

Ha it's good. I love the banter and photos etc on this thread. Start with stage 1 DIC and oil pump Taken

Well, had no intention of getting one but seems I've ended up with a J's Racing Type V bonnet.

One came up on ebay but I want a big brake kit before I start doing the hole bling bling

Noxia · 27 Nov 2012 at 22:28

Those sideburn things people are sticking on their cars look RIDICULOUS! Haha

So I've read plenty of reviews that sing their praises, but what are the FN2 Type R GTs like, day to day? Would I miss the speed of the Mondeo, or enjoy the additional performance of the Honda, or...?

Hypothetically speaking, lol

Speed of the Mondeo????!!!!

Take one for a spin, it's less relaxed as the Mondeo and requires you to be on the boil to extract the most out of it. This can be it's achilles heel as people do drive it hard on a test drive love it but then fall out of love when it's just another 2L hatchback when they're not 'on it'. It doesn't have the same 'select gear and go' of other cars like the Mondeo/Focus which I do miss sometimes.

I'm glad my test drive of a fn2 put me off last week as followed one on m25 today - it seemed to be jiggling about on every tiny divet in road - far more than other "sporty" cars I'd followed this morning - looked a very tiring drive ...

Howard · 28 Nov 2012 at 09:07

Well it's a totally different engine with a far wider power band. I'm just wondering how it's likely to compare when giving it the beans and what it's like to live with when not.

Edit: Muffin's thoughts above are pretty much mine.

I do like them though
