Have grade schemes were I work so just get a choice of cars out a certain grade, from 1-10 in my company. Can opt out and have anything, but then I loose the fuel card which saves me a fortune in this climate, all business and private mileage paid for.

Curious to see what company cars people knock about in. In the past 3 years I've had the following (Not all actual photos): Focus LX TDCI (In blue and grey) Great fun to drive but poorly equipped C4 VTR+ HDi Fully loaded with all the toys, but unreliable, turbo went on 70k at just over 2...

Re: let us see pictures off your old cars you owned Some people have owned some awesome cars, some people have made some odd choices, Toyota Corrola? 308 HDI lol I had a 308 HDi Sport for a couple of days as a company car, most boring thing I've ever driven, gave it back and swapped for a Focus...

Re: let us see pictures off your old cars you owned Phase 1 172 - Owned for 18 months, unreliable 306 GTi-6 - Owned for 7 years I think now, ultra reliable, ultra fun! Edit, daily drive is a Passat TDi now, company car, but the 6 still locked in my garage for giggles

Your colleague doesn't have a clue then lol S16 was the model before the GTI-6, running 155bhp and 5 speed. S16 was a phase 1, GTI-6 was released on phase 1 body, S16 scraped.

I've got a decat on mine and it did drop torque low down a bit but feels much more lively high up in the revs, sounds awesome too!

Same weight? GTi-6 weighs 1250kg, its a fair bit heavier and bigger then a 172, its also geared for acceleration and not economy so 6th revs higher then most cars do in 5th at motorway speeds, its an old engine design with no VVT. Comparing it to a modern car is stupid tbh.

If you compare it to a 172, 2 litre and similar power, its not great but the Clio is a modern engine with VVT!

Its not a modern engine is the simple answer! Its an Mi16 engine, no VVT or owt.

The newer 306 HDi came with the same alloys, bodykit and similar suspension so loads look like a GTI-6 lol

MPG sounds more realistic now! Glad your enjoying it

What is a supercar now days? Does the Porsche Panamera not count? Ferrari 456 GT? Aston Martin Rapide?? Theres been countless 4 door supercars, surely?

Lol RSC massive indeed, good old times!

Mines a weekend car as I have a company car, was considering selling when I got a job with co. car but couldn't part with it! Good weekend cars, look like a HDi too so surprise a lot of people!

Lol no lock turning right is a funny thing to get used to, when you see the huge gearbox poking through the wheel arch liner though, you realise why

Thicker rear ARB is a good mod if its not been done already, sharpens up turn in and brings the passive rear steer into play more! I picked one up 2nd hand, half hour to fit.

You'll be lucky to get 35mpg average out one, most get 25mpg average, some 20mpg average. They are thirsty but its an old engine, no variable valve timing or owt, just an MI16 with some heavily changed internals!

In fact, heres good comparison from a ring trip with some mates a while back, both 2 up with luggage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfYDyIHTAys&feature=g-upl&context=G272b8d1AUAAAAAAANAA Skip to 1:59 for what I'm on about

I had a mk1 172 which was defo quicker off the line and quicker 0-60, but in gear GTI-6 pulls much better, top end its much quicker, close ratio box helps with that though.

Lol glad you liked it! Dare says yours should be a tad quicker, tad lighter the phase 1, as light as a Rallye

I've had a p1.5 GTI-6 for about 8 year now, maybe more, love it! Been ultra reliable, gets thrapped at trackdays, been to Ring 3 times in it, so much fun! Info, pics, vids here -> www.gti-6.co.uk Quick vid as people think there a bit slow, this was before I de-catted mine and stripped it...

Still seems to have a few bugs for me. At Spa, race started in the rain so pit crew radio to say no need to change tyres, then a few laps in there trying to get me to pit for no reason, every other car pits, I carry on and win by miles obviously. Also on a similar bug, pit crew radio to tell...

Bump for this, just recently downloaded it and finding it extremely addictive! Difficult to figure out how to craft stuff though, where to mine and what to do lol built a few structures though, bed, crafting table, furnance.

Glad I'm not the only one!

Different situation as I would have started the conversation. I haven't willingly joined or started the conversation, I've just been added to it. My point is, Whatsapp and every other IM service allows you to remove yourself from conversations you've been added to. What if a friend creates a...

Please explain why my question is daft?

Whys it like stopping someone txting you? I just want out the conversation, just like you can remove yourself from conversations in Whatsapp. People can still contact you separately, but your just not receiving a million replies from everyone in the conversation every 5 seconds. Seems like a...

Is there anyway to remove yourself from a group conversation in iMessage? Gets very annoying when people are chatting to each other and you no longer wanna be in it, phone beeping all the time. Can't seem to remove myself, tried deleting the conversation but it just comes back!

LOL! Riiigghttt
