Oh yes, that was just before he told me about someone he knew who punched a brick wall through when a customer was shouting at them.

Honest to God he actually said that

Was he that bloke from the office with the gokart?

I hate that little spoiler, it totally ruins the whole car, fuck knows who designed it, but they can't have been older than about 15.

I agree, plus the ends are cheapish looking plastic with a carbon style weave pattern. Looks terrible

The Office, the computer geek bloke who had all the bullshit stories about doing a barrel roll in a go kart. Was it him? sounds like it was.

See what you mean now Robin

He was proper talking wet the whole time, apparently the turbo in the Corsa VXR will throw you into the nearest tree if the turbo kicks in half way around a bend. Even though the Clio is much faster of course.....later on in the convo he admitted he's never driven one.

Oh & the 197 beat the Mini Cooper S around the track because the of the lag on the supercharger. That was a goody

Explain yourself, because I think you don't understand what's in the Clio cup

I wasn't impressed with the Cups interior at all. The standard seats seemed better than the recaro's!

Corsa VXR I think, but not one I'd ever buy as it's overpriced!

I'm not sure about the VXR colours either, red is very red & blue doesn't do it for me. Maybe a silver one, but I've not seen one of those in the flesh yet

Might test drive a Cooper S too, the SC version

Grey is only the newer ones, it's a kind of gunmetal grey type colour

I was looking over the picsw of the one Ollie took for a test drive, it looked nice in silver

Just shows the intelligence levels on here if that is the best argument you can come up with

In standard trim, discarding remaps and Abarths which aren't even avaliable on the second hand market, the Puntos are slow compared with the VXR & 197.

It's not rocket science is it? I wouldn't spend 10k on something average when something better is avaliable for the money.
