He took a wrong turn then tried to rejoin the M25 spinning across the dirt and cutting up a big lorry in front of me causing me to have to slam on the brakes and prey the convoy of beetles behind didnt hit me.





He hit the barrier and the lorry managed to miss him!!! He was fine and didnt even seem to bothered - idiot

Civic - I like a car that can do 65 miles without having to stop for repair



We had 3 beetles and another mini in the group. Mini had a hose split so we had to use electrical tape on it. One of the beetles ran out of oil, then another one of the beetles had to keep being push started lol. Lovely looking cars and it was amazing seeing all these cars going along in a line but the hassle and not being able to go over 60 mph

Oh dear cupra R owner alert *hides*

CTR isnt a slow motor if you know how to drive it which if you watched that 5th gear link I posted earlier you would have seen tiff needal giving one some stick round a track.

I was after an RS focus alas the CTR was more affordable. I cant afford to run a 4 wheel drive beast so for now the ctr is a nice quick front wheel drive car.

Thought so.

I'd rather have the CTR over the earlier Cupra R's, the later style (225bhp :cool like my old mans though would be a hard choice!

CTR's are not a bad motor spoiled by too many chavs/tossers owning them, although im personally not a fan of how VTEC engines deliver the power
