Totally agree.
I used to jump in the 1.2 courtesy car and wring its neck. The basic chassis dynamic is the same as the RS models, you can feel what's going on, and play with it as they're very forgiving on the limit.
Plus, as above you can drive it 100% flat out everywhere, HUGE fun - can't...
Not getting anything done.
Just had all my locks and keys changed (£376!!!) and while I was there I thought why not.
I need to give would-be-robbers a reason to look elsewhere - and not shouting out that it's a 2.0 on the side badges might help a little.
I'm so paranoid now - I'm even...
They're sat at Rentech at the moment.
If you have a set of 1.2, 1.4, or even dCi side badges and want my 2.0 16V ones, get yourself down to Rentech and they'll exchange them over for you...ask Dave really nicely and I'm sure he'd remove your old ones and pop the new ones on for you too.
Here's a video of a car doing 0-100 in about 25 seconds.
Can a 1.2 get to 60 that quick, or more importantly, can it really accelerate that quickly from 60-100?
Doubtful, very doubtful.

Roy FTW.
Say your entries are in column A, then in column B enter;
=LEN(A1)
This will give you a count of characters in that field (LEN is short for length).
Then sort the whole database on column B, job done.
If only!
If I was claiming for the lock replacement it'd be + bumper + splitter + Bilstein shocks + full realignment due to the abuse they gave it ;)
Only £400 or so for the locks so not worth it. Should have it done by Tuesday so until then, I remove a random selection of fuses and relays...

C***S.
That was from the 1st ever Airfield day I think, I'd forgotten all about that one. I just grazed the tyre wall as I went past.
Back at last :D
Bit of a co(k-up at the garage this morning, had to go grab a coffee while I waited for them to turn up.
Turns out the ****s that took it nicked my gloves too. W****rs. And my suction mount's gone as well. Apart from that, everything was there, even the CDs and alloy wheel...
