[Titto]

my mates just phoned me too and said watch the rally at atgentina - marco martin has one of the worst accidents ever and is lucky to be alive - any info guys and gels?!

[TheNissanMan]

not sure about the accident, too busy watching myself on top gear lol....

[Titto]

Think i spotted you!!!

That 747 action was the best part!

[GIDDLEPIN]

What a blow job!!!

[Paul C]

Well i've put my order in for xmas for one off the new GT40s now I did like that well smart

Thought the end bit off the program was amazing didn't think it would blow a car to bits like that probably the best thing for a Mondeo though!

[Radtoy]

Anyone like the Skoda Fabia? It completely wasted the mini cooper!

Its 130bhp TDI. I know people who have spent £500 on a software change and have an instant 190bhp on tap......Then they easily keep up with 95% of cars on the road to

I saw a lad who took on a type R civic at Santa pod in his Fabia and beat it by a couple of car lengths! :D (it was only 3 weeks old when a company called REVO put a Golf MKIV programme on it to give 192bhp)

Oh and if i had a bit more cash i would be driving one instead of my Yaris today

[gordypix]

Forgot, but remembered at 7.55, quick call to my GF and all was sorted. Will review tape tomorrow

The thing about the deisel vs petrol ..

erm, the deisel had a turbo lads ??

[Firthy]

Thats a good point bibbs, they should have put the fabia up against the cooper s

[Fidgits]

well heres something to consider:

The mini starts at £12,100 on the road...

The Skoda is from £11,990 on the road...

So, I'd say its a fair comparison, since they are almost identical prices...

The cooper S is from £15,180!

(which incidently is a grand more than the 180bhp octaiva Vrs!)

[Fidgits]

So consdiering they cost about the same..

mini cooper:

1.6 N/A

115bhp @ 6000rpm

149Nm @ 4500rpm

0-62 9.1s

40.9mpg combined

Skoda Fabia Vrs

1.8 Turbo Diesel

130bhp @ 4000rpm

229Nm @ 1900

0-62 9.5s

52.3mpg combined

[Bibbs]

But the Mini .. is overpriced BMW tat ..

where the Skoda is underpriced VW tat ..

Look at the stats above, due to the turbo the torque differance is massive ..

[Calisto]

OK I am pausing it and I can see both of you, I think Fidge has his arms crossed and I can see a bloke behind him in a black shirt.
