The Lotus Carlton could do almost 180 even back then and they are mega.. obvs today it would get shat on by a Golf R going 180?
*Runs*
Shame Golf R’s are only owned by ballbag drug dealers and pensioners
2 types of people that definitely can’t drive
"owned" is a bit strong, "leased" would be more accurate.Shame Golf R’s are only owned by ballbag drug dealers and pensioners

"people" want more features, and more comfort, and more faster, and more safer, and more and more and more.
The problem only gets inflated by the keep-with-the-Joneses middle-class mumsy set. Jessica must get Timothy to school, and to do that requires a 9ft high, 4-seater SUV, just to "feel safe".
They could do the exact same trip, just as comfortably and quickly in a half-decent-spec Clio, or Jazz or an MX5 even. But that wouldn't be "status symbol" enough. Fools and their money can be very easily parted, all you need to do is tell them they could be missing out on something that someone else they know has.

Haha, I wasn't knocking the Carlton mate! Quite the opposite (it's was a thing on here for a bit where R's went at 180)f**k the Golf R, tbh.
HTH.

Too many good finance/leasing deals on at the moment. Huge number of weapons on the road driving cars they'd otherwise never be able to afford, like Scrooge says. See so many A45 AMGs at the moment I've become totally numb to them. It's difficult to finance older cars, which is good in my book.
As engines get smaller, cars get bigger (and heavier) - the paradox is extending in that they are appearing less soulful. Yes, there was a lot of crap in the 1990s in terms of cars - but there were also some damn fine motors too.

Was that Vectra the last of what you could call a red top (ish), or was it an asthmatic V6?
Bloke I know from Askern had a V6 Vec, they sound gorgeous!
Askern, lolz.
AWESOME MS Cavalier
Yeah.
Was it by any chance an A Class? They always seem to be driven by complete spanners, especially the 220d AMG line ones. All of the folks I've seen with them with think they're Lewis Hamilton!I had some utter bellend speed up on me while I was trying to overtake the other day - he looked very smug surging away on his wall of torque in his tdi 18-plate black Merc, and seemingly had no appreciation or even care that his actions would kill me in my non-ABS, non-Airbags, non-PAS, non-ESP, non-anything old car if something came the other way and he didn't let me back in because 'funny' / 'winning'.
These are the people who don't deserve to own the sort of thing they can finance.

I think it was a C-class? Who knows, I have so little interest in penis-substitute or 'badge' cars that they don't even register on my consciousness lolWas it by any chance an A Class?

This was one of the few straights on about 15 miles of sweeping A-road with a range of speed limits - you know, the sort of road that has those annoying lonnnnng constant radius bends that are not quite open enough to overtake on but open enough to mean anything under 55mph is painfully slow for any person of normal intelligence (of which there appears to be few, going from my travels...).There weren’t any “twisties” about?
Our cars at home are VW & Audi.Merc, Audi, BMW, VW and Insignia drivers are all c***s
Don’t care who you are but you are a cocksnogger. This includes my auntie and uncle, they’re both f**king utter bellends too

f**k gay Clio drivers tbh, impeding in my motorway lane
By any chance is that lane the outside one?[emoji23]
But usually the outside oneNah, it’s whatever lane we damn well want. ?
