(G) GP Courtesy Car

The Orangina is in to have a new tire fitted, the fogs de-misted and the wheels refurbed and sprayed black!!!! Thanks Desira

They have given me what I assume is the most basic 1.2 Grande and it is weird. Its so smooth and quiet at idle that I kept thinking I'd stalled it. Not having the Hill Start function is weird and the interior feels much cheaper dispite it not being all that different. I miss the torque so much already and I've only driven several miles to work.

haha yea it is very quiet when idle i still sometimes think i stalled it also

Yeah it is very quiet at idle, I remember my friend getting in the car and I started it up and he didnt hear it, it was in gear so I started to move and he was like "woah your car is moving by itself".

Post up some pics of the alloys when the dealer is finished. Will look nice especially with your linea race grill!

Will do mate. What is your infinity basslink like and where is it fitted?

Infinity Basslink is perfect for what iam after (Small in size but delivers alot of bass), It is fitted into one side of the boot (see pictures) and comes with a remote to control the level of bass.

Looks good mate, I fancy getting one of the little Alpine ones for under the seat.

Yer, anything. Just the extra bass helps with the sound system.

My 1.2 ain't quiet... anymore.

Because of your exhaust? or sound system?

My GP MJ was in the local Fiat dealers last week for a few days (getting new carpets fitted under warranty) so they gave us a 1.2 and i thought it was really quite too. The ride and acceleration was very good i thought.

I`d have a 1.2 if i didnt have the MJ Dynamic without question although my MJ`s higher spec is great

Everyone knows that the fastest car on the road is a 1.2 courtesy car

i put a halfords ripspeed copy of the alpine unit in mine not a lot of out right power but it compliments the music fine

It's harder for me because the 1.2 has 65 bhp, exactly half what mine has.

yeah DTP i can see where you are coming from...vvvrrrrrroooommmm lol !!!
I`d like a drive in a 1.9 MJ to see how fast it moves and compare to mine.
Personally though i like the excellent mpg of the 1.3 which is one of the main reasons why i bought it, the others being styling, great drive and cost.

Here's the Courtesy Beast for those who are interested...

It goes back today, I'd like to say i'll be sad to see it go but I can't wait to get mine back.
