Makes me laugh when people that think they are nothing like the max power lot meeting at mackie dee's thinking somehow they are better, when most have fast cars with uprated engines, wanting more power and mods etc like the max power lads do, then having meets driving in fast cars together etc, having a blast. I dont see any difference really apart from their tastes of mods, same boat different cabin Very nice looking 6 you have there though, Astor is my second favorite colour to the black 6's ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

Pretty bent, in my opinion! I remember a bike meet I went to (before realising what they actually were). Just loads of s**t 80's and 90's sports bikes with chrome crap and s**t paint. Much like the cool boy racers who'd go race down a dual carriageway, these guys went and tried to get their knee down on a roundabout Sad c**ts in every scene I guess ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

I guess the only real difference is maturity, young max power lads showing off being pricks but you all still enjoy the same sort of thing on the roads, going fast doing up cars lol. Looking on facebook its quite a big thing going out meeting friends and that talkng about cars etc being sociable, some of the cars iv seen look trick yet quite a few look and drive like s**t no doubt lol.Do you see much more of a difference? ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

I think it depends on how often you use a car, as an every day machine i think their are better options out there, as a weekend cheap frills im not sure there is much in the same price band.________________________________________ Just Drive It |

Literally all of those reasons are due to it being modified, and if you do the same to another car it will be the same.However, I can fully appreciate that you'd like a change. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

I realise that, I have just had enough of driving around in a little car. I just want something I can cruise in doing 40+ MPG sat in a nice comfy leather seat with no rattles, no bangs, nothing to worry about just drive it! Chuck my bike in the back with no bother! If i ever had enough money in the future I will be sure to get a 205 Gti6 ________________________________________ Astor 6 |

To be honest I don't think you know what you want ... You have had the 6 a long time and its prob doing your nut in at the mo just stick with it and as said raise it up a tad some cyclones and your away  ________________________________________ "Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks.
