Those are nice. I can`t think of much else in that class, except for

maybe an Audi Cabriolet (older, but that doesn`t seem to be an issue).

Ugh, just... no. They`re horrid to drive, a waste of a good engine.

*yawn even more*

Reliant Robin?



No... I mean. Argh, such a wide remit. How about a nice Triumph Stag?

Early 80s Mercedes SL?

Is it broken?

Just don`t get seen driving it.

Well, it will have a sense of occasion about it: Occasionally it will

work enough to make a return journey without incident, and occasionally

it will break down so catastrophically that you won`t want it back.

Yeah, but no.

Fair enough, but the depreciation that has brought it within my reach will

not know to stop after I buy it. The motor trade would love me...



A quick Autotrader search shows 2005 cars at 14 grand and 1999 cars at 2500.

Six years - 10 to 11 grand in depreciation.

That`s maybe ok, but not for me unfortunately.

Title: Volkswagen Golf R
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:36:24 +0000
Author: symo

Primo: bisogna trovare una vera erede mk6 della sempreverde R32. Secondo: non è possibile che la Ford Focus RS sia sempre cosi avanti anni luce da tutte le altre (o quasi), bisogna trovare un modo di avvicinarsi alla concorrenza. Probabilmente questa può essere la volta buona, in Volkswagen sembra abbiano pensato davvero a tutto nella creazione di questa Gof R.

Dal punto di vista meccanico la R è mossa dall’ormai famoso TSI 2.0 litri 4 cilindri che abbiamo già visto su Audi S3, TTS o Scirocco R. Questo motore permette di erogare la bellezza di 270 CV a 6 mila giri/min e una coppia massima di 350 Nm in un range di 2500 giri/min (da 2500 a 5000 per la precisione).
Le prestazioni sono di assoluto rilievo: la massima è limitata a 250 km/h e l’accelerazione 0-100 varia di 2 decimi di secondo in base all’adozione del cambio manuale (5,7 secondi) o automatico DSG (5,5 secondi).

Title: Declaration of Improper Parking
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:34:53 +0000
Author: Nathan Schmidt

When in the Course of my normal day, it becomes necessary for one person to consume more resources than anyone else may choose to consume, and to assume my greater importance on this earth, that I have more rights than you to which the Laws of Nature and my God entitle to me, with no respect for other opinions of mankind requires me to declare my superiority of choice over everyone else.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that my need for parking is greater than thou, that I am endowed by my Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are proximity, convenience, and the persistence of apathy.  That to secure these rights, I institute my vehicle among others, driving just powers from the tons of steel and plastic, that whenever any parking space could hold my girth, it is my right to take it despite the vehicles around me, and institute my will, for my convenience of consumerism and disorganizing others, so that I may be most happy.  Prudence, indeed, is lost on my will long established should not be changed for guilt or logic; and accordingly all entitlement hath shewn, that mankind is disposed to suffer, for my evils are insufferable, than to park in another spot by eliminating my convenience to which I am obviously entitled.  But when a long train of cars and trucks, pursuing invariably the same intent evinces a wrath to extremes, where it is my right, it is my sole entitlement, to throw out common courtesy and decency, to create my own opportunities, and provide new parking for my needs.  Such has been the impatience and greed of my life; and now is the necessity of my ego which constrains me to do nothing else other than my own choosing.  The history of my fenders and doors is displayed in dents and dings, all having direct consequence of my actions of absolute superiority over a parking lot.  To prove this, I dare you to park next to me.
