Slayer youve been rummbled and still not man enough to admit it!
Id say South Essex is north London area.
Why dont you buy and drive your own car instead of your girlies car? Does it have the tasteful dolphins down the side of the BM too? Looks like she wears the pants in your house!!
-"in the real world torque wins races."- Yes thats why F1 cars have massive amount of torque...DOH, dont think so. Yes, torque turns the wheels, but I cant see say a Golf PD150 with its 235lbft of torque (169lbft/ton) beat a Honda S2000 with its 151lbft of torque(119lbft/ton). Your torquing out of your asshole yet again and also shows how ill informed you are as well.
What is the reasoning behind the "Clio is only a shopping trolly". If its because you only see them in supermarket carparks, that makes just about every car on the road a shopping trolly, including your other halfs BMW that you drive when youre allowed to. If its because your think it handles like one then obviously youve not driven one. Anyone can be a straight line speed merchant even if its in your girlfriends car.
Do I think a 172 will waste a 200SX? I beleive that an unmodded 200SX would not convincingly waste a 172 if at all, let alone "grinding it to the ground with its torque".
At the end of the day this is a free country, so keep up the pretence if you feel you have to, but buy your own car and stop bragging about cars youve wasted in your girlfriends car.
