Is so that everyone can get a hair cut Colin :rasp: ;) Simon

I have a 40" LCD and the only trouble to me is that Plasma does far better blacks, LCD blacks seem more grey to me and not as good, a bit of a problem if you like dark films like me lol..... I'm really not sure whether to go for Plasma next time round? Simon

V6 for show and go, 172 for shopping ;) Simon

lol....taking my kids shopping I hope ;) Simon

You sound like my mum, lol ;) Simon

keep the suzuki for off road and upgrade your road car to a 172/182 ;) Simon

the R32 has plenty of room for shopping and kids, the V6 doesn't, making the V6 a blokes car and the r32 a ladies cars lol ;) Simon

Make me proud to be BRITISH lol ;) Awesome car :) Simon

182/172 would be faster, std for std.... my 5gtt when std was 0-60 in 7.5s and 0-100 in 22s......they are not fast by todays standards untill you tweak them.... once mine was running near 200bhp, then it was quick ;) they don't weigh much but only have 120bhp std, power to wieght much...

Don't think anyone thinks they are slow (a little tall perhaps ;)), however some people on here think the 255 is slow too ;) On paper they are slightly slower than the 182, with less bhp per tonne and less torque per tonne, but I guess the low gearing helps a little.....but we all enjoy our...

Time for a NEW clock then ;) Simon

Is this still going on lol ;) Simon

Timed that clip a few times and its about 12s, not 9.9s? Simon

Often wondered about this myself, do you get stopped by the Police much/at all? Simon

no way, I put the figures into the "performance calculator" and it would not give a time (bhp per tonne to low), so I uped the bhp untill it reached 95bhp per tonne (more than the std 1.2 has got) and it turned in a figure of 36.5. So giving that the 1.2 has way les than 95bhp per tonne, its...

yeah but wasn't that the question started in this thread? 0-100 in a 1.2? I would say that at only around 75bhp per tonne, it would take a 1.2 over 40s to reach 100mph....... but I guess not many 1.2 drivers are ever going to get there, ROADS NOT LONG ENOUGH ;) Simon

what 0-60mph ;) Simon

Yeah got to be, as a std Renault 5 GT Turbo (120bhp 875kg) does it in 22s, so a heavier Clio 1.2 with only 80bhp is going to take FOREVER i would have thought? Simon

it appears to be 4 900x720 screens put together, if you look closely you can just see the faint join lines :( Still, wouldn't mind it for some of my racing sims ;) Simon

I'm sure the guy is only joking? must be, surely? Although I a guy who didn't think HD looked very good, he had a HD TV but NO HD feeds lol, laughed me head off at him ;) Simon

Ford KA convertible and Mini convertible due to the lack of all-round vision for the examiner, so it says on the DSA website :) Not all are banned, someone round here does tests in a 206cc....hair dresser, no doubt ;) but not with roof down....might upset the examiners hair ;) Simon

yeah thats for sure a better way :) Simon

Yeah like I said then, trying to drum up trade.....still he must spend most of his money on running/buying the car;) seems a little stupid to me? There is a guy round my way with a fiesta ST look-a-like, its really a turbo-diesel but most learners don't know the difference lol, he's busy and...

What a t**t, it must cost him a fortune to run, therefore his lessons are either too expensive, or he is a crap instructor trying to drum up trade, would be wise to steer clear of instructors like that, imho ;) Simon

What bhp is mike's V6 running these days? Simon

ALL cars feel faster when you're a passenger, I think due to the fact of not being in control? Simon

weirdo..... ;) :) Simon

yep, fun fun fun ;) Simon

Cold air is more dense and contains more oxygen and therefore more power, turbo's LOVE cold air even more :) more power but less grip (due to cold roads and tyres), not a good combination, but FUN ;) maybe we should all drive around in summer with Dry ice shoved down our air intakes ;)...

Yeah, Mk2 a bit more sorted, but hey, scary is FUN ;) lol Simon
