Just drove my first 1.2

[fastwunz]

Well, what an 'experience'. Was asked by my boss to take a letter that had to be delivered in Gloucester for mid-day today. Unfortunately, the 1.6 Focus was not available. Just a 1.2 16V Silver special edition clio. had alloy wheels, CD player, E/W etc - but no fooking air con which is a joke.

Now i know its only a 1.2 and i know that you shouldt expect a lot from a car in such a price bracket but this thing was hillarious!!!! It was sloooooooooow, loud, thrashy, it knocked like there was no fookin tomorrow and dont even get me STARTED on the rediculous clutch opperation, the fact that the pedal pad came off as i was pulling away from a junction and stereo speakers made out of twiglets and newspaper. Im sorry, but i absoloutely refuse to drive it again - no offence meant at all to those of you who have these and cherish them as im sure they are loveable cars when you 'own' one. But never, ever again will i drive this thing.

I need a drink...................................or a sedative.................or hammer

 

[Thomss]

What do drive normally?

 

[keben6]

Probably a V6

 

[fastwunz]

heeeeeere, we go - insults are probably gonna come my way now. I had a valver which i sold recently and now im car-less. I regularly drive a 1.6 Ford Focus which is very nice thankyou very much (for a ford that is)

 

[Pep]

haha, im sure thats all true for someone who has owned another better car for along time, but as a first car and knowing no better they are the dogs b******s!!!

and for a 1.2 they not bad!
try driving the 1.2 8v clio!
or a 1.0 12v corsa!

 

[Justin]

have a go in a 1.0 new shape micra...

 

[TheCake]

Must say the 1.2 Clio's i've driven have been shocking. Worst car ever, 1 litre VW Lupo.

 

[Rip3z]

Lol oooooh no air con!

 

[Englebert]

1.2 Clios own.

 

[CabinFever]

Theres nothing unfortunate about a 1.6 focus not being available, i had a 1.2 dymanique donkeys ago i actually enjoyed it!

 

[fastwunz]

lol - well, im glad to see that some others share my pain!!! Ill admit though that driving a 1.0ltr would probably push me over the brink!

Christ, the wrost part was that some dude in a 106deisel whooped my asssss on a straight - it was probably about 10 yrs old and looked knackered!!!!

Ah well, i know that the sweet release of beer is coming my way shortly............

 

[b3nje]

my car drove like a good one, aye it was slow but all those faults you just mentioned were not on my car! nevermind ey! how old are you? 40ish?

 

[fastwunz]

er no mate - 24 lol

 

[b3nje]

ah right..3dr focus?

 

[fastwunz]

ah right..3dr focus?

yup- company mota though, not mine

 

[Peperami]

Erm, why not just get to a and b without moaning! Christ.

Its a car, it does 30, which is the speed limit, you dont have your own, so be more grateful or just get the bus next time.

In the words of alan partridge... "some people"

Lol.

 

[b3nje]

ahhhhh reet! anyhoo, my 1.2 was sound for my first car, stuck to the road like it was on rails

 

[Rip3z]

The post makes you sound like a stuck up t**t to be honest.

 

[fastwunz]

FFS, there is always one isnt there.

 

[fastwunz]

Oh, and lets not forget that you are the one driving a chaved up Valver look alike. No wonder you are sticking up for 1.2's.

 

[Peperami]

Ive got a ford ka for the whole of next week! Woo!

Actually looking forward to it, comfy seats, yay!

 

[Rip3z]

Yep it's really chavved up to the max lol.

I wasn't actually having a go or sticking up for anything either. The post really does make you seem like a stuck up t**t.

 

[b3nje]

wooo chill ya beans ladies!

 

[fastwunz]

oh, so you werent having a pop at me? ah i see!! lol, its just that when someone uses the word 't**t' to describe you, its often deemed as offensive. Perhaps thats just the way we look at things in my 'stuck up' world. One really must get out more must'nt one hmmmm?

t**t. (in the friendly sense of course)

 

[Rip3z]

I said make you "sound like" and "seem". Never called you a t**t.

Learn to read. t**t.

Yawn. End of.

 

[KyleB]

meh.

im not deeply upset that you dont like the 1.2s, although the fact that you said "no aircon!!!!111oneone" is funny ha.

too right mate - it was like a fookin oven - was pretty surprised it didnt ahve a/c tbh - considering it had leccy windows, alloys and CD player.

 

[Rip3z]

Yeah the people with lower cars (not sure I should say lower since you haven't got one) have to open a window when it gets hot. It's so much effort I know!

 

[fastwunz]

almost as much effort as opening your mommas fat legs up. Now shut the f**k up you c**k.

He shoots. He scores.

 

[KyleB]

He shoots. He scores.

[b3nje]

windows on a clapper, that would be amusing

 

[fastwunz]

He shoots. He scores.

look, lets bury the hatchet here ok? You are a CHAV and i am an UPPER CLASS t**t.

Agreed? good.

[TheCake]

pmsl at what this thread has turned into. lol.

 

[DrR]

Hmm i have to agree, i had a rent car 1.2 clio, it was the slowest thing i've ever used, has no go at all, and this was coming from someone only ever driving a 1.2 corsa SXI

 

[_Kenny_]

pmsl at this thread!

mk 2 1.2 16v Clio - great wee car for what it is imo. I thought the mk3 was absolutely crap tho.

And a Focus 1.6 is a supercar
