Why do you always jump on posts which imply someone was driving a bit 'excitedly'?

I've never seen your car on track, so I can only presume that you potter about within the confines of the speed limits at all times on the road. If that's the case, surely your car choice a little pointless?

If you do go on track, then I'll gladly take one of these.

Warren, wind your neck in, that picture is from a bodyshop I walk my dogs past. I wouldn't have a fucking clue how it happened, looks like he's twatted a kerb and flipped it to me. Not bothered if I'm honest. They're a rare car and its the only pic I have.

Because often people blame the car when it was thier bell end driving that caused the accident. People need to man the fuck up and take responsibility. Its a pet hate of mine and unfortunately commonplace in our society where people shirk responsibility for thier own actions.

Sure ive had crashes before, but i dont blame the car, i blame me for driving too fast for the conditions etc....

and yes ive been on track with my car several times so yes you can have a although not since ive been a student due to cashflow issues

Yep!

think I drove that same car.


REAL sense of occasion and feels genuinely special.... which it is.

Proper mini 'exotic'

Who cares if its not that capable really. It looks awesome and is a bit crazy!

Awesome things to own I would imagine as a toy/fun car.


Interestingly... Evo tested a Ph2 recently and it was ALOT quicker around Bedford than they were expecting.

It's not fun when you wake up (I was in the passenger seat) to find the driver undertaking a Council gritter on hard shoulder on the M6!!

DEAL! I'm not paying for WHEN i bend it...but be a total rush until then

I get more of a kick out of slightly wayward wheelspining cars than faster more clinical cars with loads of traction....it's just childish yobbery but makes me laugh everytime....only time i don't like it is when it's something mechanical that's wrong as it's a lottery, like when i limped a car home and found the balljoint had tons of play in it, that wasn't very relaxing...find a groove, chug along and then all of a sudden it would lurch one way or another, scary.... but I do like a naughty car that wants to bite but you can just about control it.
