The pressure is building. Mrs Cringe is getting fed up of driving the van. With the 911 largely being a garage queen, it’s time to look on Pistonheads…. I’ve got her interested in a Golf R and those Merc AMG 35 things. Those AMG 45’s look mental, which I like. Should I trick her into having one? So I can keep nicking it….
Fiat 500 Arbarth Fairy, mate has one. Its an effin little loon of a car. Plus it looks cute, so girls love them. Its wholly unpractical, loud, stiff but its a bit go-karty round the streets and houses. Its oddly fun. Bit like an old mini with poke.
Ha ha, yeah they’re nice but very, very girly. So there’s no way I’d be nicking it for a sneaky blast. My mate had one. Brembo brakes and a very fruity exhaust system. I think it was the limited model you got to buy for ‘dahling’ when buying a rosso 458 Ferrari spider. That parallel universe where very wealthy people live…
You will nick it Fairy. Its a laugh. Its not that girly, the base fiats may be. Mates is black, its like a stealth bomber. Pops and bangs everywhere. I quite like it. But we both love our van, our car has hardly moved since. Should sell it really but its worthless. 93 aero. Will keep it as its reliable and comfortable and built like a Brunels bridges. Never goes wrong.
aye, good enough if you like a cross between a multipla and an insignia. we've just bought a transporter camper thing which will double as a family car. may as well seing as the tiguan just sits there from one month to another not getting used. there aint a single modern make or model out there grabbing me these days.
15plate. T5? pretty much like this from the same place. a metalicy gun metal grey. or maybe brown. cant mind. picking it up next week. bit of an impulse buy. i was taking the wife through to Perth for her birthday to visit some garden centres and took a wrong turn which led us past Dicksons Campers. ferk me they are expensive. the tiguans gorra go pronto.
nice legs. shame about the car. if i could, and now that the kids dont want to know me, maybe one of these.
15 Plate, prob a T6. Is it a T28, T30 or T32? ie 150, 178 or 205bhp. TBH, it doesnt matter as theyve all much the same torque.
All you boys and your fancy cars still get stuck in the same traffic jams as the rest of us (albeit in a slightly more comfy car lol).
only recently was reminded just how much of a selfish/dedicated "motorbiker" I have become when I had to get somewhere 20 miles-ish away, ideally in a car but went by bike because I couldn't face the queueing and would even prefer getting drenched to this..
I thought it was just me. Apart from the exotica, I can't think of any new or even recent cars that turn my head. Hence, I recently bought an R53 Mini Cooper S with a few performance mods that take it to about 210BHP (smaller supercharger pulley, uprated intercooler, uprated injectors, uprated air intake, uprated exhaust, blueprinted engine, forged crank, poly bushes) and it's an absolute hoot, like a rocket powered roller skate. £3,500 of supercharged silliness.
I really like these. Furkin strong money though I got a good/lucky deal on my Vito. I looked into chopping it against something Transportery but the cost is nuts…
I agree Red, which is why I favour comfort over performance on 4 wheels. No point having 500bhp+ cars unless your tracking them. Altho, I if I could I prob would coz I is a bloke.
I picked up one of these a couple of weeks back at Heathrow to get home. Only standard obvs, but still a lorra, lorra fun to rag about in for my 24 hours of ownership
