just to remind anyone that may have forgot

I actually cried with laughter when they were trying to get out of the
carpark.


i was pissing myself when hammond ate the M6
i LOVED the F430 the most! fucking lovely car that!!! although between
the zonda and Ford GT i'd go for the Zonda

I'd have gone for the Zonda.

I'd have gone for the Ford. There's something absolutely right about a car
that yells "Fuck OFF" at the world.

Zonda? You sure you're not a ladyboi? Speaking of which, he had some
bloody balls to go on TG and admit to 9 points.
they made me laugh when clarkson pointed out he had none hehe (bet he has
though!)
he drove an Alfa so they can't be cool anymore, mind you they wasn't cool
since SteveH had one or two of them was they?

i was pissing myself with laughter at clarksons focus review, when he
drove past yelling out the window had me creasing up! it's like he's
driven about down my way!
sadly not an exclusive for me! i work next door to the dunton research
centre for ford and i've seen 3 focus ST's already! 2 in orange and 1 in
silver on german plates.

I'm sure it's a very capable car - but its lap time was even hugely slower
than a Clio Cup. Also i wouldn't have one purely of the basis of, no
matter how you look at it, its still a Focus, and as such dull and a Ford.
Yes i know people are gonna tell me i'm stupid/blinkered/missing out etc -
but you don't need to worry - it's not your problem :-) I bet Vamp is on
my side ;-)



it was WAYYYYYY down the board! and how long from 0-60mph? 6.8 wasn't it!
gimmie a civic type r for that!

I'd get a year old Alfa 147 GTA for the same money. Or a Clio Cup for what,
£6k less. Or a year old Scooby WRX. Or one of many things - you get the
idea :-) Actually, i'd just get a 206 GTi 180 No no, i'd wait for the
207 GTi. I changed my mind a lot throughout that sentence.



i'd rather have an over priced R plate BMW 328
That's only because you have no taste in cars Vamp. The GTA may be Italian but I
totally fell for it when I first fired up that work of art of an engine.

i liked the GTV, didn't care that it was like being stuck in a world war 2
bunker with the windows, the interior was great and the engine sounded so
sweet! just wouldn't have one because a) not RWD and b) it'll only break
sadly

You're worried about an Alfa breaking, but you're buying an E36?

Jesus, you have so much to learn.

Ferrari is too girly, Zonda is too expensive and doesn't look that good.

It's an ST, not an RS; The modern day equivalent of an XR.
6.8 seconds to 60 sounds more than reasonable for that.

gimmie a civic type r for that!

Bad vamp, naughty Vamp.
Please remember that they are shite.

No they're not. You just don't like them :-)

It's not really the cameras I have a problem with - as like he said - you
have to be a bit dumb not to notice them - just brake for them. Its the
hidden vans that get you before you see that i dislike...

Indeed.

Not sure that a Charger in subLIME and matt black with carbs doesn't
shout louder though...

In a gift I'd take the Zonda...

....and immediately[1] chop it in against a 612, a B5 Touring and an Atom
or similar radge track toy.
