He's talking about top speed and in all fairness the Vauxhall is quicker as the BMW is electronically limited.

Only time you'll ever hear me say this but here goes "I'd rather have the BMW"

maybe your dad can buy one and you can borrow it sometimes and bang on about it all the time like it was yours.

that'l teach him.

he not as thick as that mike brewer prick, i was watching that program where he buys some shitbox, spends a million hours labour on it, and sells it for a little more than he bought it for, and he had an mx5...

he bought some white Enkei alloys with fucking Enkei written on each in big blue writing, and goes "i got these lovely compomotives"

Carl - no-one is jealous of your Dad's car.

When you grow up, you'll realise why.

Anyway, back to you talking complete bollocks.....

well its sort of false advertising, some mug may go out out and buy a 21k 161mph vectra with the pretence of beating a 500bhp 5 series

pull up along side one at 70mph and get absolutely cained

10 mins later after the bmw is bouncing away on the limiter he catches up, not really quicker than an m5

He wasnt advertising, he was reporting, so how the fuck can it be false advertising?

It has a higher top speed, so he is entitled to call it faster based on that attribute, end of story!

I got an email offering me a 335d for Ł419 a month so not really that much for one. Guess the credit company wont be happy about it being chipped. or did your dad pay Ł45,000 cash for it!

a Vauxhall with a higher top speed than a restricted M5 which potentialy is much faster can no way be called faster than a M5 and saying so is a flawed comment.

Clarkson always says things like this, even when he drove the M5 he said "when you press the M button nothing and i mean nothing you've driven is faster"?????? anyone remember that?

and plus how long will it take a shitty vectra to get to 155mph?

IMO theres a big difference between a quick car and fast car. In the aformenetioned quote Clarkson never said it was quicker, only faster, which is correct.

I can't get over how much jealousy there is in this thread. 'Cos you would all turn down a new 335D given half the chance to be driving around in one, regardless of the owner. Sure thing, you cocks.

One of his threads was about taking a load of nice BMW's to the 'Ring and people slagged it off. It's nothing more than jealousy for the majority of them.

No one is jealous if the person in question is humble about what they've got (like Porkie for example) but if you come across as a bragger, you get ripped, and deservedly so.

They'd slag Porkie off too if his parents bought them for him. Because Porkie has worked for his cars, they can't say nothing and rightly so. However, they feel because Carl's BMW was paid for by his Father, they somehow have the right to have a go at him, even though they'd not turn one down themselves... In a million years.
