This thread is now about leaf springs. Discuss.
After lambasting caravans over the years, the team embark on a caravanning holiday in Dorset. With the help of the Totyota Formula One Team, The Stig and a very large building, the lads try to find out how fast you can drive indoors. Film star Brian Cox is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car, plus there's test-drives for the Vauxhall VXR, Mazda 6 MPS and Mondeo ST220.
Me too, but a Caravan holiday is just as good!Buba said:I really was hoping for the Kitcar challenge with their significant others...
I agree with you but for the same price, you'll probably only get entry level engine choice in a German.Byte said:The MPS was just recently reviewed by the Times (http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,12929-1470520,00.html). Personally, I'd rather have a lower-performing german car than any of the above mentioned ones. The Vectra might be a VXR, but it's still a f#?@ing Vauxhall/Opel!
Where'd you hear that? The star is film star, Brian Cox.BerserkerCatSplat said:I hear that this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car will be Ron Jeremy.
I think a medium sized car would just steal the Falcon's sales, and the Vectra is already EXPENSIVE enough as it is. How much would the Vectra VXR cost over here? 70 grand? :lol: Hmmm, a Turbo V6 Vectra for $70 grand, or a GenIV 6.0l Caprice? Hard one that is.SL65AMG~V12~612BHP!!!!!!! said:I agree with you but for the same price, you'll probably only get entry level engine choice in a German.Byte said:The MPS was just recently reviewed by the Times (http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,12929-1470520,00.html).

I think apart from the MPS - Australia doesn't get any of the cars being compared. I haven't heard anything of a hotted up Holden Vectra, not that I want one, and the Mondeo isn't even sold here in our market.

:lol: - probably only those built in a country that absolutely refuses to use any technology that has been invented after the wheel when it comes to motoring products.FATMOUSE said:Do caravans use leaf springs, I wonder? 8)
