In france and other countries you have a card that fits here with a bar code on it.Each time you pass a toll it registers you and sends you a bill at the end of the month
A much more fair way of taxing the motorist than me who does 4k a year as opposed to jonny-rep man who does 50k a year

2nd hand m3 or a clio.mmmmmmmmmm
343bhp or 197bhp.mmmmmmmmmm
155mph or 130mph.mmmmmmmmmm
0-100 in 18 secs or 12 secs.mmmmmmmm
Plus the fact the M3 has lost most of its money and you get a bargain 911 chaser as opposed to a mildly warm hatch that will loose 50% of its value in less...
Well in my 182 i could not keep up with my mates 188bhp golf diesel.Mostly done whilst going down a D/C and breaking for islands where i caught up,but once over the island he would pull away from me again and i was giving it death in 2nd and 3rd.

My mate had a gtdi 150 and had it re-maped to 188bhp and over 300 and something torques.
It was faster than my 182 after say 40mph.
Before he had the work done though it was'nt as quick

Hawk i was wrong about the M5 i dont know where i heard that.I must of been confused with the tourque figures.
Anyway here is the top gear 535d video and note that its 3 seconds a lap quicker than the clio 182.Its also faster than the 350Z and beats the focus RS...

My father in law has a 535D bmw and its very fast.It used to leave me for dead in my 182 at any spead too.The 80-100mph is quicker than the M5 version aswell
Dont get me wrong though the BMW is 35k and a clio isnt.
In a few years though that car will be 10k and afordable to most.diesels are...
Also whats the point in spending all that money.
You need a turbo and 4wd.
Without a turbo and still owning a clio you will give your money away to these silly little companies who will take 2k off you and give you 12bhp
total rip off

1st and 2nd are a waste of time they say but you can carpet the pedal in 3rd.
