p.s. about your mondeo -
if you ever find that your middle rear seatbelt has jammed up dont go paying for a new 1, its cos youve had your seats down and not pushed them back up right even though they look back up right, just pull the seats back down and slam them up hard n it fixes it.
thanks for tip dude, just got back from chesterfield drove like a dream.

just looked yea they do em, still rather have petrol though petrols run alot smoother n a better drive imo.

iv got the tddi, i read up the difference between the tdci and tddi and it says the tdci is alot quieter n ment to be faster on accelleration, yea theyre quieter but iv raced a fair few tdci's and none of them have been able to keep with me.


any1 seen the upcoming focus?

nice from front, but isnt the back just an audi a3? wheres the focus lights gone!!!

I know, but I said S3 as my mate has recently bought one so I've seen that in person lol.

That focus is nice though, but as you say misses the focus lights

a3, r3, s3, same fing lol
it does look nice but they should have kept the proper focus lights

According to google the R3 isnt the same as an A3/S3? lol

But the S3 is more powerful than an A3, 2.0 Quattro I believe.

Our chief exec has a S6 3.0 Quattro... omg its nice.

Lewis the Corsa VXR are nice, but I prefer the Astra VXR

i have a lotus exige, i sold my civic type r and put every penny i have to buy it, it's still mint condition but no boot and gives you a backache so bit fed up of it. I was thinking of the Astra Vxr, i quite like the look of it.

yeah i was thinking about a blue one. They really drink that much petrol? :( hmm may have to reconsider. I want something as punchy as my current car but a little more comftable and practical. Lotus isn't too bad on fuel either. How far did he drive every day to use £80 a week on petrol.

they look alright, not much of a ford person though tbh, happy with my 106 atm or the X5 when im 21 if im allowedd to go on the insurance. almost bought a pulsar the other day but realised the insurance is more than the car so nvm. i think the focus with the viper stripes on it looks naff, might be just me but i think the 2 stripes down the middle only looks good on a dodge viper, a cobra, mustang or ford gt, probs just me though lol
