I have driven one (a phase 1 ctr) and thought it was a good car yeah. Just couldnt live with the vtec. on a good twisty b road it would be a hindrence in my opinion..
Obviously never ridden then... Really dont understand what its about... OK bikes do carry more risk than driving a car but for me the pleasure far outweighs the risk. I love the way bikes are a lifestyle and not just a mode of transport... And it is the best way of getting around.. Try a bit of...
Funny u should say that. A guy in my village has a TVR Tamora. I gave him a run and he couldnt skake me.. As we parted directions he waved so must have enjoyed the little battle.. Never gonna beat him but it was fun trying..
How else can u do 170mph for 6k, really feel what speed is like and look the bollox doing it?
Not only that but almost anyone can drive a car quick. To ride bike qiuick takes so much more and give so much back in doing so... Balls, skill, positioning your body... its so much more involved...
My car is generally very good except for a couple of rattles and paintwork quality. Under the headlights you can almost see through to the plastic-the paint is so thin.. Also around the door lock on the passenger door there is a run in the paint. Looks like a bad touch up job. Not impressed...
It was jeremy clarkson vid. They took 3 attempts to get the photo finish. the bike kept pi55ing all over the car. A car wouldnt beat a bike on a track like thruxton which is where the film was shot. its all about accelerating/top end and heavy braking, where bikes are so much stronger. It was...
Than MCN dude who rode the Duke999 dark was ace... backing it into every corner... excellent rider!.. Pi55ed all over a £200000 car on a bottom of the range Ducati too.. Bikes rule.. Soz, i love my clio but bikes r where its at if u want to go quick...
Just wish they used a propper bike...
Just changed me indicator bulbs to those silvervision ones... had some of me old car so they went in the front and got new ones for the back.. nice simple mod but looks top, espcially with the silver paintwork.
ill stick some pics on tomorrow
going down a pretty steep slip road..
the handbook said if it comes on slow the engine speed down. its also an emissions warning light aparently.
only came on for half a second like so not fussed about it really..
im only paying 240 quid a year more for my new 182... my last car was a 1993 diesel clio worth 50 quid... that was only tpf&f, now im fully comp
work that one out??!!
this light was in the bottom right under the speedo. the esp light is by the fuel warning light. was defo the engine check light... just one of those things i guess...
Tonight while having a blast in my car i came across a lad in a 2ltr nova and decided i had to teach him a lesoon ot two.. while driving by past i noticed the orange engine diagnostic light flashed a couple of times out of the corner of my eye. i was over 7000rpm but not in the red at all... the...
While running in i was getting 26... how bad is that?!! i reset it when i went to the NEC for the bike show... average speed of 82 on the motorway got me 32mpg. its now sticking around 31-32 commuting to work. pretty chuffed wiv that
I can certainly say that old civic vtis r quick... i had a little squirt with one in my 182. he kept me honest up to 100mph... fair enough my car only had 700 odd miles on and i wouldnt take it much past 6k rpm but they r quick.. Theres no wieght in them either. they easily as light as a clio...
