clio in service and dodgy courtesy car

[boyracer666]

goin in tom for a serivce at a local garage (£110) which aint bad and i get....wait for it....an N reg 1L nissan micra!

i have bought a brown paper bag to prevent myself bein spotted driving it.

but i will cary on the tradition of thrashing the courtesy car to an inch of its life-lovely jubbly

My mate had one as a courtisy car he seemed to think it went quite well but then again his normal car is a 1.1 206 so its not over burdoned by power anyway

Actually the 1.0 micra is quite nippy for what it is,

£110 isnt a bad price, mine goes in to the Renault Delears on Friday for its 12,000 costing me £128 which i thought was pretty resonable.

List of thing to do to the courtisy car

1 Hand brake turns

2 Stop usin the hanbrake whatever the speed (be careful of this 1)

3 Drive on the rev limiter

4 Set on in 4at and 5th gear just to see if u can

5 Set of with the revs on the limiter (smell that clutch burn)

6 Complain about it when you take it back

My dads got a 1.25 zetec ford KA while his car is in the garage after a learner smashed into him. I think i might need to go for a thrash!!

 

[paddymph]

hahaha, yeah i totally agree, brown paper bag is a must

 

[billabong]

You cant get a 1.25 Zetec ford KA they only come as a 1.3?!

 

[liam]

true^

THRASH THE BUGGER!

 

[edde]

the ka only has a 1.3 8v in it

unless ther giving u the new convertable thing as i belive that has a differnt engine

 

[boyracer666]

the convertible thing has a 1.6 which is as gutless as a 1.2 8v clio as 0-60 i think is bout 12.5, but the hardtop sport ka is also 1.6 but 0-60 of 10secs i think cos girls guy the convertible for posing

I saw one of the convertible today on the way home with a bird driving it. I dont think it would look right with a bloke behind the wheel (not meaning to be sexist though). It seemed to be quite quick on the motorway. The car dont look too big so luckly no fat birds will be driving round in them. Nothign worse than an car that is pleasing to look at being driven by a munter. When did they go on sale to the public though?

Ps the bird behind the wheel was quite fit
