Mave 0 Posted January 9, 2007 When I first bought it, my dad drove it back as I didn't have my license at the time! When I first drove it... I couldn't stop looking at the reflections in windows in town.."damn she has a good shape" Oh, and the ragging up and down the 4-6 dual carriageways + bypass about 30 seconds from my house :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted January 9, 2007 When I got my very first Rado, I just couldn't believe I actually owned one. To see it sitting out in the street just made me grin so much and when driving it around, I just felt like I was so darn lucky! Then I had the Saxo and went up to my 207BHP G60 and remeber sticking my foot down on the way home. It was quite evident that it had over double the power of the Saxo and god knows how much more torque.. it actually frightened the crap out of me! This time around it was just "i'm so glad i'm back in a Rado again!" :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A-J 0 Posted January 9, 2007 Why did I sell a cheaper and more reliable car for something that needs so much work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Sands 0 Posted January 9, 2007 The noise. Oh God, the noise. Put it into third, pulled out to overtake a turgid people carrier with a quarter mile straight in front of me clear of traffic, and put the boot in. The power came smoothly up to 3000 rpm and then the noise and the power... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neil VR6 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Wondering why you would ever want a pair of gauges in the centre console that have 7 different colours of LED and why even when you set each gauge to the same colour- why there were different to oneanother! And the noise- oh the noise! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tifun 0 Posted January 11, 2007 My first thought...honestly.....Well the first one didn't run well and my buddy was there when it showed up. We took it for a drive, he kept asking for like 3 minutes, "What's wrong with it? What's wrong with it? What's wrong with it?" I finally snapped and yelled "I don't fucking know!" So yeah that was my first real thought of the car once I got it, and yeah as most can figure it's been the same thought for pretty much everything that goes wrong with them. I just can't understand how some things affect other things on these cars. It just doesn't add up lol.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyman9000 0 Posted January 11, 2007 Thinking "It's not as fast as I thought it'd be" :( Then "Ah sod it.. How cool does it look?" :D Gotta be honest that i thought this too, sometimes wish i'd paid an extra £500 and go a G60, especially as then a good example was fetching £2500, it seems to have jumped up by a grand since then!! Oh well, at least i have turbo/16V G60 options when money gets better! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
