I'm sorry... but HOW MUCH TALK DO WE GET HERE ABOUT SKYLINES AND OTHER JAP CARS?!

I do believe a Clio Sport is much more in keeping with a Fiesta then what an Evo10 or 350Z are. :

Agreed with Teki,

Pie is just angry that teki is a better driver than him :P :

Why do these sort of threads always end up the same way?

Surely it's possible to talk about other brands without all the bull that always appears for whatever stupid reason?

How about less of this : and more of this : ?

Buy whatever vehicle suits YOUR needs/ desires/ budget and learn to appreciate the other vehicles that are out there too. :1syellow1

You blitzed passed a Ferrari... other way around :P


Sure beats some french fry???

Clio = 35 k

Ferrari 612 Scag = 562k (manual) 588k (auto)

Was there some hidden point as to why you compared these two cars? :

Mind you the Scaglietti was parked and in a side street, but he still won the race!!

Nice review! and why didnt they add the XR5 as its only just over budget like the RX-8.. hmm i can feel bias.

Agreed. It received a few comments... but against the competition it didn't stack up too well (what is with the Type S and RX-8?! More like $40k cars when you try to find a good example : )

Wow did you come to that conclusion mitch? I have never been on a cruise with teki(when he had his fiesta).

I know you have to stand up for your boyfriend mitch but you don't need a pull crap from your anus.

Was about to say! Of course his seen my car... cause I've seen his :

Still no comment on the fact we talk about Evo10s and other cars.... Yet unfortunately cannot speak about Hot Hatches (Unless, of course it is a Polo GTI for some reason :P)

I stand corrected. I was on a cruise but I didn't follow him through twists so you can't compare how we drive.

Yes we do have the occasional talk about other cars but we have to put up with you and your clio ever 2nd day. Go talk about your Clio on a renault forum.

Thats exactly why getting your info from chinese wispers doesn't work. By the time it gets to you the info is so distorted you have no idea whats going on.

Again get your facts straight.

I'm an admin on another forum and to be honest the admins on here don't seem to do much? I would have been culling replies from this thread ages ago and moving it if deemed inappropriate.

I notice there's a Captiva thread in the Territory section - sic 'em guys! :
