Unless it's a 180 I don't care.

Yeah, they fixed it. I'm by no means saying that they are the best cars in the world, or that as a daily driver I wouldn't pick an 8L platform car over one. But I cannot stand people who judge cars on face value and then slag them off left right and center.

Is the thread thats got me going, especially now somebody is trying to compare a Saxo VTS to a PD130 A3?!

Its the 140. 180 would be nice but i'm happy with this one.
More importantly the misses is happy with it. Saves from having to buy and run a fecking land rover again. lol

I got a soft sport of them and all ways enjoyed driving them but I feel like a spider in a match box in them.

Don't let it get to you, like all the other owners of BMWs, Mercs and Lexus (many others out there I bet), some owners tend to hate other makes with no sense or reason.
 
Whats the collective opinion of little french hot hatches? Saxo VTS/106GTI platform cars?

Personally, ****** good cars, super quick and actually pretty reliable and anybody who slags them off hasn't got a clue. Or am I just biased having owned little french cars?

no i would some it up pretty much the same having a clio

To be honest, all of the 206 GTI's aren't bad cars. And as you say, they're a non gay looking car for the wife!

Peugeot hot hatches are brilliant, personally I've had loads of hot hatches and most of them French. They've been such good cars, I've never regretted them.

Oh, and this one which ended badly!

Then I had a load of Saabs which are known for not being friendly on the front tires, especially not with 300bhp haha!

I like lairy FWD cars, they just don't like me!

I'd love a Clio Sport, I nearly bought this one (twice!) but chickened out of the finance agreement the first time, then went back a week later to buy it and somebody had bought it 20 mins before I got to the dealers!

Those pics lol, they look lethal

I love hatchbacks..although i was more towards the jap cars like the civics until i got the 8L rather than the frenchies
 
Haha amazing. Chat R ftw!!

Had both Duse and to be totally honest not too bad as things go. Both where STD and went well but expensive to fix. And no match for my rs turbo. God I miss that car

Why anyway ;)

some of the civics are good, good engines i dont like the latest shape thou the older ones are much better, i like the older honda civic jordan but its just an asian car and doesent suite someone like me...
 
Yes Jay, I crashed both those cars and was lucky enough to not get hurt and learn some valuable lessons. Now they are just PERFECT for whoring out on the forums haha
 
Oh now I see. Now where did I put that damn rod :lmfao:

Yeh the civic jordan shape and the the type R EP shape are cool, but the one with the triangle exhausts are not a pretty site IMO
Doesnt suit ya? lol tint the windows, suits everyone then :thumbsup:

Exactly. I'm not even fishing, the guys sifting the egotistical opinions from the truth.

Am I wrong, CAN a PD engine be tuned to 205bhp with a remap and downpipe?

I used to live in Bham, you forgot to mention Mercedes! they drive them a lot too!

The new civics are horrid, they are slower than the previous models. Bigger, slower and ugly-er are my thoughts!

tbh i sat in a type-r latest shape the only thing it has going is the dash tbh its like a 3d speed which is pretty cool

right off home now cya all later xxxx
 
i like french hot hatches, but pretty much only renaults. love clio sports and megane sports. (my dad works for renault so i've been in them)
i dont feel safe in the 106/saxo type cars, they are too small, and just feel, dangerous, but not in a good way.
 
Really? I wouldnt have a clue but 205bhp does sound a lot!...Are they sure? lol

Not even a new PD, an old 130?

I know a new PD170 (like out of a Leon FR) will map to 200bhp but I thought an older 130's turbo was toast by 185bhp?

I've read that 140 will go up and around the 170 mark.
My mates 140PD skoda did.
Not sure bout the 170s but looking at the gain on a 140 with a map, then its reasonable to think that a 170 would go to 200

I would have a stack in one any day of the week. Early 205's have amazing crumple zones. I'll dig some pics out but may take a while as they are in paper form. But they take a 80mph 20tone hit very well indeed ;)

Klappey, details. what happened?

Have you ever noticed the missing curb stone on the left hand side pedestrian island on the Britannia roundabout if you went down outland road (past argyle) and up into stoke?

Thats what happened.

Gnarly as!

How cools this, I had no cuts or scrapes or anything just the usual bruising.

Oh, and "GTI" STAMPED on my forehead where I head butted the steering wheel. My boss thought I was pulling his leg because it was the week before christmas and thought I wanted time off. When I came back to work with GTI raised a good 5mm out of my forehead he literally ****** himself.
