My Mate Told Me To Burn It!

[phil6180]

yes thats right, burn it!

I told my mate there was another problem with my Clio 16v ( needs new engine mount ) and he said why dont you burn it!

He drives an escort rs2000 and said it has not been off the road in 2 years so i should burn my car. So i said i dont want to i like it.

After all, reliability isnt everything.....is it???

 

[weight]

Yes it is!

BURN IT!

 

[Bryan]

do you really want astronomical insurance? do you really want to bump up everybody elses insurance? do you really want to listen to a ford driver of all things?

you have an old car, things go wrong, it happens

sorry if all this sounds a bit harsh, but in a case like this, its the way i am

if you want reliability, get a new volvo, if you want fun, keep the valver, and accept that things will go wrong

oh, and a ford on the road for 2 years, in his dreams

 

[16V_Matt]

Yes burn it.... The ford that is he he

Hes just Jellous that u have a faster better looking car...

 

[phil6180]

saying that there is not a lot od difference in their performance mine is slightly faster because his is modified.

I was not even considering burning it by the way.

I just get pissed off that i am always waiting for the next thing to go wrong, arnt you guys?

and Bambam why you changing to a VTS?

 

[Bryan]

because someone stole my clio

 

[16V_Matt]

Nope dont think theres much more that can break on my car...

but even when it does... the enjoyment i get out of it and the amound of so called hot hatches it can make look a little silly is great...

 

[phil6180]

Point taken.

Just about the only thing that hasnt gone on mine is the gearbox

Perhaps I should start saving now!

 

[Roamer]

Burn the ford! Burn the ford

 

[Fred@BTM]

and get some pieky fecker round bambamsto steel his VTS!!!! A fooking SAXO!!!!! YOU SHOULD BE HUNG!!!!

 

[Bryan]

cheap, fast, handle well

not many other options, and i already have another project lined up of the clio variety anyway

(mini has finally been passed onto another mug)

 

[Nick Read]

Phil LOL about the only thing that hasnt gone wrong is the gearbox thats just what I said before my gearbox went! About the only original thing on my car, seriously, is the window glass and the body shell.

ahem, I think you will find that to burn it and claim on insurance (if that is what he was suggesting?) is verrrrry illegal !!!

So sorry to interupt but can i ask you a question?

 

[007]

RS2000s are quite good but underpowered and the fact the engine is a dog to tune and weighs a ton doesnt help. Tell him to get a fast car like yours instead to a warm hatch family runaround!

BTW my GF just bought a VTS but it has the customary french car electrical problems

Anyway a engine mount is hardly a problem!

well of course it makes a difference what car you drive - this is Cliosport - for clio people, so if you hadnt had a clio you wouldnt have been a member would you???!!!

 

[Bryan]

yes i would, because i was a mmber even before i ordered my clio

and if things return to the way they were a year ago, then i will renew my membership, but as things stand i will not be renewing because there are lot of issues with a lot of people on this board that need sorted

 

[Ben H]

Maybe we should have a "Group Therapy" board along with For Sale, Other Topics etc. ??
