Openings ok, its closing the sodding thing aftwards thats the problem

With regards to the original question, i did (and still do) get the odd dig at me. Mainly from my parents and Caz. My mates had an initial laugh until i left them for dead and took them for a ride in it (and that was when it was totally bog standard). They love the car now Main jibes were because of the colour and the size of it (in comparison to the size of me), but it was an improvement over my grannymobile uno!

Anyways, i love my yellow shoebox so dont care what others think

Try jacking them up on the wishbones, door open and closed no problem.

My mates took the piss too, when the small cars handling had me behind and overtaking them they were amazed!

Oh and they were silenced when with 5 up we sat at 105mph nearly stock trim!

Oh BTW this was on a private runway!

Re: your first cinq - what did others think of car choice?

Got a cinq 899 originally just because it was £200 and i needed a car, everyone took the piss out of it but mainly cause it never got washed even after ragging around in a field, and it had 'dirty edition' and 60v quad turbo on the back written in the dirt. To be honest, i really didn't want it, i was one of those pi55-taking b4st4rds before. After getting it though i thought it was ace fun and as soon as i could i started looking for a spoorting, ended up with a Seicento instead but I love it.

Re: your first cinq - what did others think of car choice?

Okay I've a Sei not a cinq' but it's a yellow 'cento. My friends and I have always had mutual friendly pi** taking of each other cars, but I think there was a genuine wonder at why I picked the car over tuning my Punto 60 right up till a friend in an A4 1.8T was having to red-line the car to keep up with my Sei on the way back from S'waldon.
