7/10 I like ordinary car based segments to be fair (fave episodes are used car challenges on budgets), and the hot hatch segment was alright. I think kia must be paying for airtime in the way of wasting a load of new cars on rugby (never that entertained by car sports matches). As long as our...

For me, small engined cars like hatchbacks best suit a central exhaust outlet. That central exhaust can be split slightly, and it seems to give the benefits of symmetry without the perceived 'fakeness' of dual outlets that are on the outer extremes of the back. Examples: note: I know some of...

wow, this topic went right off.. I was just going to chip in with Merc and the clk55 amg, which, for something with a 5.4l V8, only got a single side.

Yeah i meant looks wise, which lets face it, looks sell, as does a bit of uniqueness (something to show that your debadged 550i is the big V8 without having to badge it as such, and anoraks like us can give a nod of approval) That why its strange when manufacturers dont really show that its a...

Its just something I've noticed which I can't understand. Now from a design perspective, dual exhaust (outlets on both sides) do balance the back out and give a sportier look that tends to differenciate higher models from low ones, but there are some makers what make their higher models not...

Thought I would bring this thread back as it will be interesting to see how the prices have already changed and will change even more with the VAT increase coming in on tuesday. I filled up at 124.9 on new year, and then passed a station selling diesel at 132.9! and this being before the VAT...

many thanks people!

Cannot figure this one out. By the rear intakes it could be a mid engine car which should narrow it down. Rebodied celica 5th gen??

Wow, excellent mystery spot, get it sent to autoblog/worldcarfans and take credit for spotting it. Only ever seen round exhaust like that, with a number plate between them, on an f430 scuderia. I thought it was an artega at first but nothing like the back of one... [searching italian small car...

Seriously, invest as little money as humanly possible (you must learn to love scrapyards!), and just enjoy thrashing those bicycle wheels! My first car was a 98' clio, cost me ?250.. my mods consisted of going to the scrapyard and getting new central locking sensors, and some engine parts to...

so much for the price hike being attributed to the easter bank holiday weekend because 1 week on and its gone even higher now. 121.9.. an extra 2p in 5 days... This is always the same Shell station I use which previously has much more stable prices and tends to be the cheapest of the 'proper'...

I was going to say.. its high was around $148/b in mid 2008, but it is at thios present time around $87.. yet the pumps are the same. Not even with the weak ?-$ exchange does it make sense. Are we just so used to being shafted and the price of fuel rising that we dont give a toss anymore? I...

UPDATE Reviving this thread in the midst of another massive price hike (in the space of 12 hours, diesel went from 124.9 to 132.9) with seemingly strange timing; new year was preceeded by 3 normal business days that were pretty much snow free, so no excuses of delivery fuel not getting to the...

Still making videos of them exiting the lot? or have the police now started to wait at the exit to ensure noone reaches top speed in 1st. I loved the sounds they made! especially crazy was the little dragster and the exelero!

Just one small thing from me Next to the threads page count in the forum view on the old theme you used to be able to click an arrow which seemed to use a cookie to take you to the first unread post relative to when you last looked at that thread. I know there is a link to go to the last post...
