    Sensible.
    I might have to get something new this year, wife and daughter are moaning about the Wagon R, made a rare trip to the office last week and even the bloke on reception said it was the worst car in the park.
    Thing is I love it and don't want to part - it's slower than the Celerio but that doesn't bother me, been looking at the Ignis and also the new Dacia which is coming out soon.

      0-60 in 14 seconds? What’s it powered by mice on a treadmill?

        [MENTION=25]charlesr[/MENTION] I’m sure you’ll be interested in this. Gary Molesy has a near miss.

        Member's Gallery - That was lucky! - So driving home from work I heard a loud noise as 2-3 pieces of tree branch dropped into the front of the car, then half a second later this happened.......

          Lol. Sounds slow because we're always talking about cooler cars on here. A 2006 1.6 Astra takes 13 seconds 0-60. These really mini cars are almost all around that figure.

                          Hurry up.

                          Messed about with a flame spitting Evo tonight. Think I caught it napping in the wrong gear. Or it was all mouth no trousers. It lost me at the roundabout though....

                            Lots of kids in fn2 type r’s and the newer fiesta st’s with exhausts bigger than their wheels, all wanting a piece of the battle wagon of late, all left in the dust off the line with mighty pissed off looks on their faces mohahahahahaha .

                            Spec wise I’ve recently found out that my wagon had the ppp map & exhaust fitted from factory, but not the rest of the Prodrive pack. So it’s running about 240bhp, which isn’t to bad.

                              If you left them in the dust, how do you know what their faces looked like?

                                Because I’ll normally slow right down soon as I reach the speed limit, so they go shooting right off at silly speed. I wouldn’t dare speed round my way, too built up.

                                There did used to be a ready made race track on Canvey, a new built road away from everything that led to nowhere, so you could go out and have a rag occasionally which was nice with nothing else on the road, but that’s all fully surveillanced with cameras now so that’s that fun done and dusted.
