Tris's New Car

[Tris Harris]

Shame

I bought mine when i was 21! The sports pretty mental itl make you feel like a kid.

Meh ill give up, just want more bravo owners

well i'll be going into that size car/ class next when i get a company car so no point now...

saying that, a Focus is a bit grown up but i still like them too...

But bravo has passion and its a fiat

a bigger engine could be just about the same to own as a smaller (ish) engine in the ford to

and you dont see as many of them about on british roads as you do focus's

and you dont see as many of them about on british roads as you do focus's

there is a reason for that.

 

[Tris Harris]

there is a reason for that.

:yeahthat: i have driven a Bravo (m-jet) and it was nice, especially with all the red stitching in seats and trim etc, but it just didnt handle or feel as well put together as the Focus. Sony sound system in Focus sounds great too

i need new car..

my Fiesta flew through it's MOT on Saturday though

only had a couple of offers on it that im not willing to accept,

heres piston heads advert: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/759623.htm

they'll take £3k for this, and its near you, and tbh they're fantastic cars, and its only 4 yerars old! i'd have one. they handle mint and the engine loves to rev. have a test drive and i can guarantee you'll have a big smile. insurance group 11 too!

shame its the 6 speed semi-auto, but you cant have everything in life.

it ends today!

 

[Tris Harris]

can't get on ebay at work... but cheers for the link. to be honest, i need to sell my car before i get one, i think if i had 2 cars on the drive i wouldnt put as much effort in to selling it... or want to keep it, strip it and turn it into a track weapon...

astra would be 1.7 or 1.9 (120) cdti or 1.8 petrol

A Tjet will eat those as i proved tonight against some lad who thought he would beat me in his 1.7 and then my mate had the 1.8 petrol SRI and he got eaten alive aswell much to his displeasure

not into black GP's really... 8k for an 07 plate seems a lot aswell, i can get a 58 series 2 with 5 year warranty for 9k

£9k for a Series 2 M-Jet Where is that from? Even Fiat SupaSaver want £10495 for an S2 M-Jet

Nah you cant get Mjets that cheap, they are still up around the 10k mark. Tjets start at about £9200 from places like Fiat SupaSaver.

what you geting a 1.2 or 1.4sporting?

 

[Tris Harris]

what you geting a 1.2 or 1.4sporting?

1.4 mk2b, would have to be an exceptional mk2 for me to buy it tbh. No point in getting something thats no faster than my current car, handles worse and is in bad condition.

Just need to get mine sold now, anyone want a Fiesta?

nice dream but its time to wake up.

t-jet 0-60=8.6sec topspeed=121mph

1.7cdti 0-60=13sec topspeed=101mph

1.8sri 0-60=8.5sec topspeed=127mph


the SRi is slightly faster than your sporting so you can't have eaten him alive. its as simple as that.

1.8 SRI is 0-60 in 9.4sec not 8.5

sorry i thought you meant a mk4 astra, not a sporthatch.

Astra specs can't be right. I was glued to the back of one when I was in a 1.4 500.


Edit: Seen above post so understand now.

yeah the sporthatch suffers modern car syndrome, its too big and heavy to compete with the model it replaced.

its weird these days. cars keep getting bigger and engines keep getting smaller.

 

[SeiSporting]

You wont eat my Ashtray sporthatch alive
My company sack of **** is a bit quick only a couple months now
1.6 16v Turbo SRi
couldnt believe how nippy it was with the size of the thing!

 

[punto_matt]

Maybe not but at least im not in an astra

 

[SeiSporting]

Think my Cento will be quicker though too
Well to 60 anyways.

 

[punto_matt]

I need to get mine on a proper timer to see how much quicker it is to 60 now than when it was standard.

unless you use the same method to measure it as you did before thye remap then you can never really know. the book figure will be very different to your actual figure so you cant use that to compare.
