Lads...

The electronically controlled autobox in a pug 508 is pure unadulterated shíte. It's one of the most confusing things i've ever come across. You have M mode, you have flappy paddles (which is also funny cos its a 112bhp diesel) but it takes about a fúcking week to change gears.

The most annoying thing is its the only thing wrong with the damn car at all... Otherwise I'd seriously recommend one to anyone. >1000 miles range :eek:

Was driving a 3008 with that set up for a couple of months. Horrid, horrid gearbox and you can't trust it not to get you blown off the road when you leave it in auto. Not unknown to make multiple stupid gear changes entering a roundabout...

CianRyan

Well they say opposits attract but I will not give in to Euro diesel.
That's an out standing result all the same. :pac:

YbFocus

Yeah but could you convince him the other way??

CianRyan

We would definitely have to get hitched in the Church of Petrol.

Have you ever seen his car? It's called the smoke box for a reason and by fcuk does it go for a "90bhp" Peugeot.

Max Power1

anyone fancy an ultra rare beast, the vw golf m3?

Ded_Zebra

Not strictly motors related but I can't stop laughing at this (and yes I stole it from the gifs thread)

No I've just read about it here but from what I've gathered it seems like a rather nippy home brewed machine. It was poorly presented sarcasm in that last post

It's ridiculous how fast it is as well.
The burn feeling some people (mainly felt speccers and tarted up civics) must get as dgt flies by in a 406 must be devastating.
Seeing it go would make you wonder what the hell Is under his bonnet.
Not to mention the plumes of smoke he leaves behind to rub it in.

Mr power should look into getting a similar setup with his 535d to deal with cyclists who annoy him.

SSShhh or we'll have another ban on our hands, that right max

I want to get a look at all these cars now the next time a meet is organised, never got going to one before

Would there be anybody here interested in doing a trackday? If we got 40 cars it'd be viable and great craic it is. You don't even need anything particularly quick, I went out in my bangernomics Accord on Thursday and had as much fun in that as others were having in infinitely faster cars.

All you need is a car, full license and a helmet

How much would we be looking at, and roughly when?

No idea when, we'd have to trash that out and check availability etc but you're looking around the €150 mark give or take a few quid

Far as I remeber it's 180 ain't it, Bart O shea had a drift day there lately it was only 130 to get out why ever.
