I got to drive one of those saxo's as we were doing something to it at work. it's so slow and the brakes are scary to say the least!

they should save their money on buying a Y plated VTR and just buy a valver for half the cost, but twice as fast!

I have to say I that nothing makes me smile more than accelerating past a kitted up corsa/fiesta in my battered old cabbie and to have them catch up at the next set of lights and find out that not only was the car that has just trounced them is over twenty years old but is also being driven by a woman. :evil:

I had a Turbo'd Saxo VTS 16v 6 years ago, and one of the first I'd seen lowered with 17's (there not very easy to get on you know)

With 15" alloys could push my mates STI scooby on the twisty stuff ( I kid you not, it used to piss him off)

Was one of my favourite cars I've ever owned. Poor build quality (the panels were made form plywood I think!) but amazing cornering with Koni's & home made strut brace.

I sold it 4 & 1/2 years ago, once the boyracers started buying them ... oh, and also I think something was about to blow! (I had to double check the water on every journey)  :grin:

They're a great car, just got a crap image, and I wouldn't be seen dead in one now!
