    True, I have an Opel and hate it. Not a chance of me buying an Astra.

    Keep an eye on the bangernomics thread for a clean Alfa 156 with NCT. Going for very little these days but try find a 1.6TS. Lovely motors and I don't think you would regret it once you drive one really. Huge amount of car for pennies. :D

    Considering new ones were going for less than twice that and couldnt sell I'd take that price with a pinch of salt. Nice car though.

    Excellent let the Boards 1.2 8V FIRE engine appreciation begin now!

    What was the reason the gaskets went in the first place? Something to do with airlocks? And are the 8v or 16v's the bad ones?

    Ford's are over-rated shítboxes!!

    I feel better now!
    And I should have bought that Bravo HGT that I saw 3 years ago with 1 owner, 48k miles and full Fiat service history in the UK for ST£850 asking... because nobody knows how cool they really are.
    Also the 205 GTi isn't the best Peugeot hot hatch, the 306 GTi-6 Rallye is.
    There... I said it.

    I disagree. My reliability has been rubbish tbh.

    Also, they are surprisingly good to drive in the right spec for what they are. And I'll stand over that despite the p1ss take. I didn't even have one on the radar when I was looking.

    By 'right spec' you mean vRS, right? :D

    Yes, the non-vrs models are very soft. There's a sport pack available which is better apparently.

    Clearly the only Skoda to buy is a Roomster because of what it says about the driver - keep well clear of me, my eyesight is so bad I can't even see that the front and rear doors are completely mismatched. Clearly the car to drive if you want a clear road to yourself.

    Onto the intro/history part, name's Marcus (hardly a surprise). History is bizarre, learned how to drive 4 years ago at 35. Cars so far: Vauxhall Signum 1.9 cdti (8v) then 6 months later added a Mini Clubman Cooper S and in July gone past, swapped the Signum for a RR Supercharged 4.2 V8. Clearly I'm having a midlife crisis but at least my cars are going in the right direction.

    (Just joking about the Skodas, I'd seriously consider a Superb for the legroom.)

    Hi my name is Gus and I just bought this.

    I'm very happy.

    Extra hot tobasco sauce is not to be used like Ketchup

    My head, throat and stomach all BURN.

    Still it makes me wonder would it be good for a few extra BHP if I put it in the diesel tank

    With your luck at the moment I'd have to say no...
