Lets have less of the rover bashing. I wouldnt buy one either but I've heard nothing substantial to say they were crap as cars, just had a bad image. Its stuff like this that lost hundreds of people their jobs. Built in britain FTW.

thats true tommo32

however, rovers are gash

I'm not trying to be a idiot but i have lots to prove they are rubbish, unless you get one with a honda engine then they are ok 8-)

Stretch tyres kill . . .

forgot about them, dont know why my dads got a sd1 v8 on the drive :-p

was listning on the radio, people complaining about modified cars, this one bloke seemed to belive a 1.2 can do 140 easily with some small mods which done cost alot because hes "seen" a 1.2 in his street that can do 140 :?

Maybe it's got a wankel rotary in it? :lol:

Maybe its a polo, with an audi tt engine conversion, with the 1.2 badge left on. :-D

i reckon its prolly an RX7.

as too is my VR6 - shocking but true, and its in a mk2 golf....

i'm hoping its had the timing chain tensionors replaced? a vr don't stay too reliable after it develops a 'death rattle' :lol:

i really want a mk2 VR6 :-(

it was a 1.2 corsa he was on about, and the bloke saying it was an ill informed nonce case :thumbsup:

also riding on chopped springs will make you crash, mostly said by some one that has never driven a car on chopped springs or some one that knows some one who's cousin's best mate got told that some one once died because of them.

Mk2 Golf GTi 8v's have more low down torque then a 16v.

A 1.8 16v Vectra Automatic in 'Sport' mode is as quick as a Mk2 Golf 16v

How about the GT in the for sale section with a 4branch and poloace chip being just shy of 110bhp :lol:

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

How about my 1.6 8v has more torque, therefore is faster than your 1.4 16v :ninja:

Apparently, having red grill trim on your car (which is actually plastic cable stuff off eBay), doesn't actually make your car go quicker :?:ninja:

That Car Tax is spent on repairing roads.

/\ lol, thats a good one

That Car Tax is spent on repairing roads.

Lmao! Thats a f-ing corker!

that diesels are good - and that once remapped are rapid

its still a shitty diesel no matter how much torque you have and how much you spin you put on it

A Corsa VXR keeping up with a 96 Civic Type R is 'suprising'

The newer your car, the bigger your wang.

The later 6n's with the 1.4 8v made 80bhp 'cause parkers said so'

The new Fast and Furious is the best one yet :lol:

"you cant roll a Citroen 2CV"

Well,yes they lean right over on their bicycle tyres,but it was a popular myth for decades.

Until someone put one in reverse,turned the steering to full lock,and hit the gas - thing went over in just a few seconds.

post 1989 vw's are german.

vw's are still quality.

polo's are fast

all are myth's
