330Ci M-sport ftw.  Turbochargers / superchargers are no substitute for a lovely 6+ cylinder engine. Loved mine and miss it now.  ________________________________________  You feed beefburgers to swans.

And you choose right my friend LCR is a great family mong wagon/hot hatch but the Megane is just better. Jimmy hows the Golf looking these days? |

 I'm rennovating a house at the moment as I figured it's a better investment than wasting money on cars and depreciation. It makes a good builders van as it's enormous (not to mention rapid ) with the seats folded down. Can throw whatever I like in the back and park it in car parks without worrying about who is doing what to it. It's actually quite refreshing. That said, hopefully I'll have something more interesting again in another year or so. ________________________________________ You feed beefburgers to swans.

Cheers mate. Joking aside, they don't actually drive too badly. Sure enough, I frequently encounter sweeter sounding engines in pieces of farm machinery but they drive ok. Good handbrake for use in the snow too. I dare say the ST version is probably quite a bit better too.What's your excuse anyway? ________________________________________ You feed beefburgers to swans.

Yeah the ST is suprisingly "sporty" and will go better with the dreamscience remap ive bought.I'm doing 20k a year so I had to buy a diesel I guess. |

Yeah, that makes sense. Should be a decent enough car with a bit of extra grunt too.Any injector or high pressure pump issues? ________________________________________ You feed beefburgers to swans.

My dad bought a mondeo last week too i spent my day off on sunday cleaning it 52 plate 2.0 tdci 130bhp jobby, full leather interior, cruise, parking sensors etc, covered 100k miles for £400. Proper billy bargain for what will be a nice replacement for his rover 75 ________________________________________ keep the machinery between the greeneryR766JKV nile blue gti6 - sold V634DLR black gti6 - sold Now driving a skoda furby vrs - for sale Currently piloting an Audi a3 sportback |

Yeah, will need a few pennies thrown at it but on the whole its a decent daddy mobile and a bit more street cred than the rover methinks ________________________________________ keep the machinery between the greeneryR766JKV nile blue gti6 - sold V634DLR black gti6 - sold Now driving a skoda furby vrs - for sale Currently piloting an Audi a3 sportback |
