Well. The City Rover bit made me cry with laughter, the DB9 was MAGNIFICENT and the Exige was simple awesome on the track. Nuff said really  |
france, sanitary towells and an apache gun ship. Its the sort of things you
dream up when you're half cut with a bunch of mates!
But the Exige, WOW! Thats the sort of car where a VTEC type engine belongs!
Would be interesting to see how the VX220 R thingy would do though...

TG really is a great programme. How i've missed it. A race to the south of france, sanitary towells and an apache gun ship. Its the sort of things you dream up when you're half cut with a bunch of mates! But the Exige, WOW! Thats the sort of car where a VTEC type engine belongs! Would be interesting to see how the VX220 R thingy would do though... |
magical wonderland where every roadsurface is suitable for concorde
take-offs and speed bumps are just a horrible memory?
It may not be made out of bits of Lexus, rubbed between Mercedes Benz's
(the daughter) thighs, and lovingly glued together by French artisans,
but it is built to be driven in a country where road maintenance is
heaving the dead Elephant off the track, and cows have right of way. In
a small, cheap car, I want robust, not class. IMO, it is the real 21st
Century Panda.
ST. Erm, ST170? ST220? ST24? TG are a little late with the chance to
make that joke, sadly. My girlfriend has never heard the abbreviation
ST for Sanity pads, so I guess it's a recent, southern, contrived to
make the joke thing. Rather like the Ka Si.
Anyone else think of Airwolf when the Apache came on screen? Now /that/
would be a nice Sera replacement.

hand, Bentley GT /and/ a Phaeton for running about in).

CityRover: Have you driven in the UK lately? Do you live in some magical wonderland where every roadsurface is suitable for concorde take-offs and speed bumps are just a horrible memory? It may not be made out of bits of Lexus, rubbed between Mercedes Benz's (the daughter) thighs, and lovingly glued together by French artisans, but it is built to be driven in a country where road maintenance is heaving the dead Elephant off the track, and cows have right of way.

priced it in. It should have been set at a £5,000 starting point
maximum, not £6,500 without even power steering. There are variants
costing over £10,000 ffs, who in their right mind is going to pay that
considering the publicity it's had over it's origins...

Heard a gorgeous deep V8 type rumble, looked round and there it was, a
vision in a kinda sharky grey colour.. J 007 was the reg plate.. fucking
sumptuous it was.. his girlie was worth a triple scuttling an all...

In a small, cheap car, I want robust, not class. IMO, it is the real 21st Century Panda. It's certainly a decent car, just not for the class that Rover have priced it in.

It's more of a competitor for the Perodua Nippa, rather than the new
Panda, Micra etc.
I've seen a couple out and about - they look very dated compared with
the competition.
For £6.5k, I'd take the Panda.

the new Panda before passing comment..... makes a new Fester look
undersized, shoddily build and underspecced.

I saw a Bentley GT yesterday when I was waiting for a customer in the limo.. Heard a gorgeous deep V8 type rumble, looked round and there it was, a vision in a kinda sharky grey colour.. J 007 was the reg plate.. fucking sumptuous it was.. his girlie was worth a triple scuttling an all... -- Pete M |
kid you not. About a month ago around 8.00am there was a transporter
delivering six Bentley GTs. When I was in buying my paper in the filling
station I casually quipped to the bloke behind the counter " that new
Skoda's a bit tast y looking, isn't it " as I nodded in the general
direction of the transporter.
If looks could kill............:-)
