I was having fun with a Clio Sport 172....

I think France for cheap thrills is fair though.

Saxo VTS, 106 GTI, 205 GTI, Renault 5 (although now all rusted, crashed or blown up  ).

I'm not a fan of french, probably just the stereo-type that comes with them to be honest i'll post a picture of the renault 5 from hull a few years ago when i get home, worse then some of the stuff on barryboys, actually.. might even be on there!

I love how your all publically admitting to racing to Mr Police Officer Mikester

Well he's admitting to 0-60 timing which is classed as dangerous driving

Only thing with the civic is its not easy to get big power without spending silly money -unlike all the turbo cars, a remap and its easily faster than the civic as my mate found out the embarasing way..

He had one brand new and ended up throwing  A LOT of money at it and had a turbo conversion done, it was fast but still lost loads of money on it

Id get a new S3 or focus RS if i was to get a new car, as much as i like civics, they are not quite wild enough for me to go new skool

Think you missed the point, lol. If we are talking new Focus RS or S3 money then of course i wouldnt have a Type R, the new one is rubbish.

Here we are talking the reasonable priced hot hatchs, eg around the 8k mark.

I didnt know anyone mentioned prices, but for 8k

Older S3 or golf GTI mk5 are better all round IMO and much better image, for 8k you could get a high spec GTI, or a very late S3, or a cheaper S3 and some choice mods, either way thats where my money would go. I like the civic alot, but just not enough to want one. Plus they are gonna end up been worth less than older S3's soon lol.
If i was to go jap, with 8k, id be looking at Evo's but thats just me.

Point i made which you obviously missed RE the new S3 / Focus RS. thats just what id like if i went new skool. that said, the MK5 GTI is a great all roiunder and tempting at the prices they can be had for.

Its funny you say you don't red light race Bellend! With a name like that

Init I thought I was gonna be a right chav.

Think it's price of petrol, police and CBF with driving half the time that puts me off.

Who is?

I cant see a post from anyone talking about nailing there car from 0-60 and timing it, only posts about the stats of each car from parkers?

Although i must admit i havnt read the longer posts.

Although to be fair you guys probably all got GTI golfs for the extra trim and not the BHP. Same as i got a type r civic rather than the eco version for the stickers on the side and the big spoiler rather than its BHP. 

[Khare]

I'm not too bothered about trim 

I like to drive my car

Still curious as to who is 0-60 timing? lol
