u all seem to have 1.4's
when i tell ppl im thinking of gettin a 1.4, there like "thats too fast, get a 1.1"
dont know if there just saying that, to me as they know i wil cause more damage in a faster car.

mine was a mk4 xr3im fooking loved that car, bought it before i passed me test adn spent loads of money on it, when i failed me test i took it out for a spin to show a old school mate how fast it was and parked it into a lampost

the front end was sooooooo fooking smashed in ya could step in the bonnet and the headlamps would be behind ya

after that i bought a orion that i had a shity fooked turbo fitted to it , just went down hill from there tbh

then when i redone my extended test i got the 1300 erst replica m what a tool that was, done 113mph top speed ONCE , done 3 drivshafts, 1 gearbox and 1 clutch

infact ive still got it, does 1 litre of oil every 2 months and now does 120miles to a full tank,used to get 300 miles out of it

i wanna get that mot'ed again to remind me how slow i used to drive

mind i did have 9 points when i repassed my test so that was the only thing that was safe to drive
