General I LOVE My Punto Do You?

[H2DaE]

Got the derv back today, going like a rocket.

Yep, happy with the car again, can't think why I would want to replace it!!

Glad to hear that mate

I've got a remap booked now, but I'm going to keep it as a surprise Nobody will know until they see the huge grin slapped across my face All I will say is that it is within the next month :slayer:

18 psi of boost with 160 odd horse's to whoop pretty much everything on the road..


nuff said?

i'd pay to say you keep up with my dad's R1 lol (motorbike) for anyone who doesn't know lol

 

[H2DaE]

That might be why he said "pretty much everything" and not "absolutely everything"

 

[Martyn_Sporting]

ok i will race him in the middle of winter in the rain, that ok ?

 

[x Alex x]

lol! he's leave you in the rain, 0-60 in little over 2 seconds. not many cars will match that. he'd be at 100mph before you'd reach 50mph

 

[H2DaE]

And if he tried to go around a corner at that speed in the rain he'd leave the road

 

[Martyn_Sporting]

If he manages to stay on a bike in decent wet weather he deserves a medal, my cousin has a gsx-r and thats near enuff impossible to get full throttle in the dry, let alone the wet.

Plus if i wanted to keep up with a bike, i would have bought a bike, i didnt and just wanted to have the king of the hot hatches.

 

[CinquePunto]

Yeah but he'll beat him because he can drive without having to get changed into leathers, golves, helmet etc...

lol who races a a car on a bike in the rain round corners??

 

[serin]

who races a car with a bike

thats as well matched a race as me racing a bicycle and a yacht

 

[x Alex x]

my dad races many ferraris and porsches when hes riding you wont ebelive how many cars try to keep up with him, you see it all the time!

I love my baby she corners like a beast,
Looks great still and shes quiet and cheap to run can I say more,
Oh she has never let me down.

Course i love my car! lol 05 Punto as a first car... whats not to love haha!

I just love the body of the car in general. Would love to have the sporting bumpers though but thats hardly crucial! lol

I just think it feels like its been made properly. Whereas you can get cars like the old saxo and cars like that which just feel like tin lol

The Punto is just a nice car and fairly nippy for the size of the engine... Nice big boot for an install...

It has what every car needs.. as well as a bit of italian attitude!

Oh wait a problem.. the blooming horns stopped working haha think the fuse has gone so easy to fix

 

[x Alex x]

yeh mk2b's are great, got mine as my first car too mates are well jealous with their P reg saxos LOL I would have had anything but who'd turn down a free car

Glad to see this thread again, made it ages ago!

Mine is my first/ second car as well- i bought a 93 panda fizz to learn in and got rid the day i passed due to a few problems. I love the fact that mine being the HGT Multijet it is faster than most of my friends cars while also returning better economy, and cos it is black looking pretty damn good as well!

Really bizarre thing, compare a quicker, faster diesel with a petrol that's not too far behind (GP sportings, V70 2.4 petrols & diesels, Alfa Romeo 159 2.2 JTS & 2.4 JTD, etc), and I've tended to find that the diesel will be cheaper to insure!
