2K on insurance is madness. Especially for a 16K car.

Power don't mean $hit. Be different.

My windscreen was completely shattered, with about a half foot square that I could just see out. Glass everywhere. Total holocaust!

Happened to me last year. Had two nice feet marks up the bonnet and it took out my wipers. The car behind me had seconds dibs as it landed on it's roof! Stoopid damn birds! If they lost a bit weight, they'd be able to get airborne quicker.

Not heard this one before! Nowt in it.

Fair enough if you like the MK4 shape. All a bit too heavy for me. The GTi was shocking in MK4 form. Have to disagree with the MK5 GTi and R32 looking like normal ones. The R32 is easy to notice with it's twin exhausts and kit and the Monzas on the GTi are a dead give-away. The GT looks...

Have you got the spare tyres in the boot? Presuming it's still FWD, how will you get all of that power on the road?

You should consider stand-up! That's the funniest comment I've read.

Give me a MK5 GTi over that any day. You must be easily impressed if you think that's "awesome."

Lose the stripes! Other than that, not too bad. I don't like stripes on any car. Maybe a GT40 but that's it.

Who is better? At least he is unique and doesn't hold back. He's never going to agree with all car enthusiasts. I agree with some of his points about the 197 Cup.

Some good skillz but this is just giving chavs ideas!

Nothing special.

That would work but I bought the Cup because that's the car I wanted. I might have to mod it with some James Bond $hit. Oil slick, smoke screen etc.

..does it make every tosser near where I live want a piece of the action? Today, going to work which is a half hour drive at 6.30am a Fiesta ST and Hyundai Coupe are trying their best to get a race. Firstly, it's far too early for any of that pi$h and secondly, what are they trying to prove...

Keep the Clio imo. Pulsar is a whole world of pain.

Just a couple of weight saving mods then! The pic with the CTR's is nice.

What he said. Not sure a Cup or any Clio comes under the 'obsessed with power' section. The RS6 is for dudes with small c***s.

Everyone is so obsessed with power. RS6 is pointless, imo.

Is this for the traffic cops amongst us?

Amazing cars - 911 still does it for me! Sounds like you have to actually drive it (911) to make it perform where the GTR is so assisted that you just let the car do most of the work. Not that it wouldn't be fun!

Rear brake failed mine. Lobbed some new pads and a new disc on.

That doesn't look like much fun.

Thought you meant a 1.2!!!!

Had my Cup for 4 years. Only fault was the exhaust rusting and snapping, which is common across the range. Otherwise it's been trouble free. No probs with the alarm and not sure on the cambelt cost. It's down to luck and care, as with most cars, I reckon. Build quality is not the best in the...

When what was remapped? A 1.2?

Good luck!! I'm glad you seem to be taking it lightly.

There ain't no arguement. And if nobody replied to the initial claim, it wouldn't be much of a forum. It's really the 'my car is actually a lot faster than it really is' syndrome - where 2 seconds are chopped off the book or actual 0-60 time because the speedo was recorded on video, and the...

Induction kit! In that case, you should be getting low 7's! You thrashed a ph-quick from the lights...nice one! 1.2's are slow in either form and niether do 60 in under 10 secs.

I can try.... eh...it's not 9.9 secs to 60. All that is needed I think.
