What's beaten you in your C....?

[VR6]

Lost out to a Mini Cooper S a few months back, only cos the missus started screaming at me to slow down though!!

I'd take the car to a garage to get it looked at. Sounds like a serious problem that you're probably best getting fixed sooner rather than later....

If only that was something the garage could fix!! I suppose I could do a DIY job with gaffer tape though!!!

2 snails, a lame donkey and a lada riva.

Yeah them Lame donkeys are right Fecckers...

Tbh if it's twisty then can keep in there, in a straight line fight not a busting lot.

It comes to something when your (albeit 15yr old) 2.0 16v "Sports Coupe" gets bashed by almost anything small & modern & 1.4+... Mind you if I cleared out the junk (Tool box/ Trolley Jack/ Axle stands.. can you tell I drove air-cooleds before?) in the boot maybe it's go quicker...

Slaxo VTS's are good fun TBH, ex had one and was quietly impressed (but would never tell her!)... Mind you Jim's right.. how many will still be with us in a few years... The C2 replacements quite raid too.. and I still have to learn what externally tags it as a VTR/S version... just so I keep a little pride...

Beware Novas.. remember there's a big thing about slipping Calibra Turbo's into them... only good thing is that they get to a corner and head for the nearest tree!

Dinkus, if it was an old-shape TDI-130 quattro I wouldn't be that upset, 6-cog box/TCS and 4wd.. allied to diesel torque means they boogie.. I know I was trying to get one as a co car a while back, I even got TCS to flash in first 3 gears when racing a Supra bi-turbo on the test drive... Almost had him too... but it was damp...

I had a fecking clio 182 cup up my chuff yesterday, at higher speeds i started pulling away but it was bloody quick and right up my arse lower down i wont have that problem for long though i will chasing M3's soon

Beaten by a Fiat coupe 20vt, man they are quick little buggers!

Was looking at them before I got my C but every one I saw had thousands spent in the last few years.... Little did I know Cs would only be a little better

Been there with the aircooled, only bonus of having a splitty was the amount of room to keep every tool I owned!!

Will have to agree with the VTR/VTS thing. We just bought a Xsara VTS for our daily (it was veyr cheap) and it is rapid, passive rear steering too so handles very well. Just gonna slam and maybe mess around with the throttle body, ECU and managment and have some fun!!

i always find in my VR its either settled once your going over 80mph against most things

off the line i reckon alot of smaller cars are quicker, but i don't like accelerating hard in 1st

Notches & Fastback rock in this repect too eh Claire? ... all your tools under the bonnet still leaves a decent boot in the back...(that'll confuse some!)

i once came down a large hill doing a fair few leptons, and out of nowhere this sparrow (could of been a blackbird, was all a bit of a blur) came zooming past me as if i was going backwards

pigeons are no probs, they normal veer off and let me past

Hell yeah, we had a 65 Notch and it rocked. Only problems was it was 100% original and immaculate that we never dared take it out!
Saw a nice square on Volkszone the other day and was tempted but a quick run out in the G60 soon got rid of the temptation!

True, mind you Pheasents are nutters don't ever take one on.. if they look liek tehy're going to lose they'll have a go at forcing you off the road!

Oh and Rabbits just brake test you!

If I still had my 1776'd Notch that would have soon cured it!

My best attempt was to sit up the arse of a Boxster S on the A303 down to RTTS... he was seriously NOT impressed that some nutter in a 30+yr old motor was on his bumper to 110 and waving!

Awesome. Think a Aircooled appreciation/picture thread needs to be started!!
