Bloody Northerners coming down here and nicking our women...Big difference between weathered and green slime. Out patios are York stone and now look like the year they were laid.Bloody southerners, coming up here, pinching our stone.
Why does C-L-I-O become clit?Remember Nicole? Well, she had both
Cars from 30 years ago that had less power, also had a lot less weight to pull along. So yes it is relative, but imo its much more fun driving a 1 ton car with 150bhp than a 2 ton car with 300bhp.1.3 Polo and 1.4 106 both attest to that. The trolley was a hoot in spite of being a lardy arse with 100 bhp. Near 400bhp in 1.8t is a different sort of progress but still quite effective on a fast twisty road. Much like the Omega.
A 2.3 Granada with a heady 114bhp used to be enough to get the job done on the quicker side of safely. Now it requires about 300bhp and commitment..
M40 - M25 has too many cameras for such shenanigans .
And this is the problem wherever you drive these days. When we travelled back from Wales recently, I commented to my Mrs that, apart from brisk overtakes, theres not much point in having a fast car these days. We were in her car, which is well capable of north of 150mph, but the traffic flow, average speed monitoring cameras and the sneaky camera vans etc made it a painfully long journey.The days of playing beat the sat nav ETA by half are a thing of the distant past now.
By most, you mean the Cavalier, Early 90's perhaps with the shift away from K Jetronic injection and carbs.By the late 80s, most 2l petrols were getting thereabouts. Thats 35yrs ago nowAnd to think it wasn't all that long ago that 150bhp was considered to be pretty decent.picks its heels up when asked.All things are relative. I consider 150bhp to be a sluggish dog. Maybe when I'm (even) older....

Touch wood but the Yeti has just cost service items and MOT for the last 2 years, does about 10miles per litre in comfort. Handles well and 150 HP 2L oil burner picks its heels up when asked.My Altea didn't cost much in maintenance terms...tyres, brakes, rear shocks and servicing over 2 years/135k miles... Probably about £5k, not that it was particularly reliable... it wasn't and dealer ineptitude meant the cambelt service was free amongst other things. Plus £10k in depreciation. And £22.5k in fuel along with £600 in rfl, £3.7k insurance and £7,200 in payments.
five tyres, two suspension arms and an oil change cost about the same on the S Class.
The C1 is a Toyota Aygo with Citroen badges on.If that helps you feel better
All the parts have the Toyota logo and part numbers on them.
