"pay the price and stop your fecking whinging". Brilliant, LOL. I think some of those politicians would prob shi* there pants if they had to get on the buses with some of the scum bags in london.

Exactley, as much as I agree with the cause of pro actively doing something about this issue, the statement about boycotting the petrol statioons is seriously flawed. I do think Labour are pretty bad particularly tho, they've raised taxes in total something ridiculous like 70+

I do think proabably 99% of politicians are scheming little wan*ers! but obviously we need some kind of system as opposed to utter chaos. I think fuel tax is something like 80% anyway, so as was mentioned, why are the fuel companies getting penalised? I know it's easier to boycott the fuel companies but it's hardly the best solution. And the guy who wrote that can't honestly think petrol will come down to 69p/l! what a joker!

OK- so what is the normal rate for a 140PD? and for that matter, does anyone know of any good lease deals out there generally speakig? It is nice to own your own car, but like yuo say the benefits of 0 depreciation, and not worrying about ragging the nuts off it kind of helps too.

Guys, can I just say, we are all getting well and truly fcuked up the ass by Gordon brown, hmmm nice thought! LOL. Seriously tho, the cheapest unleaded where I am is ASDA @ 89.9 and they are knocking out diesel at 93.9 I think, I can still get 34mpg on my commute in my VR tho so when u factor in the increase in price of diesel, it ain't too bad. But as I work a lot on building Sites, I think there may be some red diesel go missing soon, coincedently just after I start driving a derv.

Pah! If I spend under £300 a month that is a good month for me! LOL. Well Diesel engines will prob be approaching 90bhp per litre very soon and if you include twin turbos then very achievable, I personally love both for different reaons but to get a diesel as exciting as planting your foot in a VR up to the redline you have to go into 330D territory.

Yea, don't take it, far better deals out there, I'm sure there must be some cheapish 150 Leon's knocking about on the forecourts, they look nicer aswell. I can't say I really like the MK5 that much either, infact the build is good but no better than a mk4 as was suggested. I am most intrigued by the 2.0 TDCI Focus tho.

I don't think the 150PD unit is over stressed but I think it runs a bit more boost than a 130. (The 160 unit in the Ibiza is 1.55) As much as I love my VR I think for my 100mile a day commute, a 6 speed 130/150 Leon would be better, but also try a Bora! I have been driving the MK5 140 at work and it is nice, very linear due to 16V head and apparently a remapped one is easily as quick as the 2.0T. If economy is an issue I would say get the 150, especially if it's your money as second hand values you will save, then remap it and have some fun. What I really want tho is the 330CD, ah well, wishful thinking.

Can't say I particularly like the bumper but the doors, oh yes! part of the reason I got my C was my child hood infatuation with the delorean and back to the future, lol.

Oh, forgot to mention, I moved from Orpington area, and yea, your right , there were quite a few round there, used to always see them by the Orpington town big round about, the A224 bypass and quite often on the A20 around Swanley, Im in Sittingbourne now and haven't seen one here in over a month!

Ay! oh, it would be a sight to behold, I feel so lonely someimtes in the C, I can go weeks without seeing another one! LOL.

I met Robbie Williams a few years back, he was watching a christmas style play in Notting Hill, where I'm from, he seemed a pretty cool dude aswell. Apparently Clarkson got his job by asking the producer of TG who he met at a party, so I think if I ever see him, I will just try and blag it, nothing to lose ay!

Sorry, just read the dates of the posts aswell! ah well, my mistake, never mind.

yes, just thought as this top gear researcher has been asking about Rado's. if one of us (CF) provided the car, maybe more of us could go again? and get loads of people to go there in convey down the motorway(all in C's of course)! lol.

wow, Fiat Coupe 20VT Ay? good stuff. The Corrado VR6 will also see off the 325i no probs tho. What would be really cool tho, is if someone secretly slips them (top gear) a vr with schrick & 268 cams, I would like to go to the studio aswell, to bring down that JC down a peg or two when he starts running his mouth off to the audience, as funny as it is to watch.

Surely the Corrado VR6 will be king of it's 1990 competitors, it beat the 200sx and Probe V6 handds down, and the MK2 MR2 no probs. I guess not everyone knows that tho, since it is becoming a rarer car all the time. Mine tidies up pretty well but there are far better examples out there, on this forum. Can someone give an example that has a couple of undetectable mods so they think it's even better than it is? LOL, you know, uprated bushes, short throw gear change, up rated pads and top tyres, that sort of thing.

I had an Ashley on my 205 1.9, and just remember the mechanic calling me up and sounding all chuffed, I said "How does it sound?" he just said "Get down here!" LOL. But it was a bit too loud for my liking, it was for some reason, impreza like, especially with the filter. CURRENT EXHAUST- OE CAR- CVR6 (141K) It is starting to blow a bit now. I have read endless pages of exhaust stuuf here, all very good. But can anyone suggest which is the most similar to the OE VR6 exhaust? I am thinking maybe Miltek/Magnex, but if possible, I want something even more subtle with the sound ie like the OE one I have. Cheers.

Isnt miltek supposed to be slightly quiter than a magnex tho?? anyone concur/deny.

yea, he likes it. Don't expect any noticeable gains, also consider Miltek or Blue Flame are getting good reviews, not sure if they do a MK3 VR tho.

haha, nice one, if only it was that fast

well there's a will there's a way n all that. Can't say that look is really my cup of tea tho.

Err, yea which is why I said "about" 50k more ie roughly speaking. but yea 200 pounds =90k

I've driven a Zetec S, i really like it but it actually weighs 1tonne so probably less than 20% lighter than a Corrado, would be very similar to a Corrado acceleration and it has good handling too. But gearing plays a big part. People on this forum have said that a 350Z non FI) has toasted there 200+bhp VR which only weighs about 50k more than a G60 so lets just say it comes down to the driver and be donw eith it.

LOL, fair do's. you would think they could develop a compund that is stronger tho in this day and age

So why do they use alu block if it's not as strong as cast iron? obviously it is lighter, but any other benefits? I'm sorry but this side of the pond we are a cynical bunch and I find it hard to believe your 200bhp G60 beat a FI 350Z! And despite what you heard, that isn't really evidence as such, it doesn't even matter anyway but keep up the Corrado enthusiasm stateside! aaaiii
