Ive got a 4000 mile 53 CUP with climate control for £9300! Sell your car private and it could be yours:)

I think they are pretty impartial - this month they have a sponsored Fiesta ST advert section in the mag, but still say they are disappointed by the car in the review a few pages later where it is up against its rivals.

Are you mad? You want a set of wheels that look like ones they put on the 1.2 Clioss now?

Cooper S was quicker to 100!??

Sounds good. Is this in the shops yet?

30bhp from gasflowing the heads? You could do that in the days of the Ford Cortina but on modern computer designed and built engines? nope.

The CUP brakes are excellent. I had abs on my 106gti and the brakes had no feel whatsoever. The CUP feels so much better. Probably the best brakes Ive had on a car. Ive only locked them once. Most people will never use abs properly anyway. Something happens in front of them and they just stand...

Why get a car specific plate? Spend your money on something you can keep. You wont get any extra when you sell the car.

Er, its a one off colour (unless you count silver). Thats a pretty big helper. It will have non leather seats too.

You get used to it in a few hours and then it doesnt feel any different to any other car. The morons who write for magazines should get a clue. I test drove a Cooper S a few months back and that felt high to me after just stepping out of my Cup (for sale).

Whats your budget?

I had a moment in my CUP the other week when taking a bend at reasonable speed on a damp road. Lost traction and started going sideways for a couple of seconds. Its a damp and greasy surface that is the real danger, at least on a proper wet road the tyre tread has something to do. Do NOT...

Its legit if you dont say anything libellous but to use a URL that is very similar to their own is dodgy and I suspect you will get a solicitors letter within days.

I think they could sue you for using a very similar name. Be careful. You would have to put a disclaimer on the front page stating that this is not the LAD page, just a site about them.

Tuning most modern cars is very difficult. Look at the 206 gti180. That took ages to develop with a team of engineers and full manufacturer back up. It was close to not being produced becasue it was so hard to get a reliable 180 bhp from it.

9.5K for a 30,000 mile car that has to be driven flat out everywhere!? Could buy my CUP with CC and 3700 miles for that.

Yes. But come on, how many times do you turn on full lock? I dont know why people moan about this. Ive heard it all of 3 times in the last year.

Try reading other car forums. All makes have problems. Its the nature of how cars are built nowadays.

Are you talking racing stripes?

Id swap the GF for one with no kids and then get a car I wanted.

Was you Daewoo lightened and did it have rock hard suspension?

Er, no. They are more like 2" wide with 4" gap.

YEAH!

I dont see how anything to do with the RR could cause your engine to blow. Even if a bearing went in the roller so what? All your car is doing is what it would do on a real road. The fact it was only getting 120bhp also indicates there was something wrong with the car and it was on its way out...

Sorry, but if you are sitting on a hill holding the car on the clutch you are such a bad driver you dont even deserve to be in a 182. You should be in an old Metro or something. The whole time youre sitting there the clutch is spinning and the friction and heat will cause the smell - and your...

The thing about these tests is they are performance based only. What about build quality, ownership experience, dealers and depreciation?

There was someone on here who cancelled an order after they went to pick it up and it had 300 miles on it. The dealer said they are driven round the Renault test track.

I will never have another car without aircon. How can you stand it on a hot and humid day?

That and Top Gear added up to a nightmare for the Aston sales people. If Id just won the lottery I definitely wouldnt be considering one.
