Hey wavers
Hows the car doin?

 

[wavers]

Brill thnx - still love it. Done 5,000 now - in this wet weather i'm giving the big chap a breather tucked up in the garage. Agree, sadly, with Jeremy and Richard - it's a very "human car" - makes you happy.

Bravo

1st page was crap, was there any need for such a lengthy introduction/comparison? Review of the car was a thumbs up tho

 

[ducks butt]

Anyone got this months Top Gear mag? Chap in work said it had a Hot Hatch section in it.

 

[strike]

Yeah I have... I was expecting a nice Trophy bit in it. BUT it seems to be a rush job. They basically reviewed the 182 Cup I think or even just the 182 in about 5 lines, and slapped a Trophy pic in there. If you are buying the magazine just for the Hot Hatch thing thinking it might have a nice Trophy section in there, don't bother. As far as other hot hatches though, not too bad. It mentions the Renault 5 turbo!

Thats one of the best reviews yet. The first reviewer who hasnt jumped on the band wagon and pandered to reno marketing department. Basically the car is good, we all know that. But he didnt use hyperbole and become overly verbose.

 

[hyb]

It did make a change not to read the same blurb on the dampers that pops up in everyother review. Less of the cut and paste

 

[mr StinKa gob]

Yes refreshing.

But he didnt use hyperbole and become overly verbose.

Goes off to search for a dictionary button for the forum :lol:

I'm reminded of a scene in Con Air.

"... how about chatty?"

 

[ducks butt]

Did anyone get the cool wall with Top Gear mag? I wish they did a clio trophy tile so i could add it under the DB9 and Range Rover Sport in the sub zero section.
