Gasoline version 130hp?? That should be fun. Very nice supension, I used to love driving my dad's 1.4 break, because of how fun it was turning.

I've sold in August my Peugeot 106 1.1. I now own a 207 1.6HDI 110hp, which is starting to give me too much fun driving it, to be honest...

5 year old Mitsubishi Space Star
1.9 TDI, ~75HP
pretty fun to drive actually, responsive steering and you can have some good fun if you know how to handle the engine. friend of mine with a 200hp bmw couldn't lose me, only advantage he had was beyond 150kph.

Seems as good as any place to start

Megane 1.9Dci, nice torque, wicked turn in lol...

Hello Fan Solo, welcome to F1T.

Just out of interest, did you buy the Renault because of their F1 team, do you support renault because you bought one or was it just coincidence?

I think it would be interesting to see which way the advertising works.

Hi Tom thanks for the welcome, Ive been browsing for a while here but the RB comment really irked me lol hence the apperance

Its a company car actually, chose it as it had the best power to tax ratio quite handy actually as the reliability leaves a lot to be desired lol, BP ultimate diesel & Eagle F1's seem to make steering modification needed hehe.

More lucky coincidence than anything else I think

Car has been updated from last time i posted.
next year, nice turbo with FMIC for around 400 bhp.

1983 Toyota Celica Supra. I guess I'm lucky that I get to own and drive my dream car! 193500km, motor never opened, 167compression on all cylinders with 2% leak down. Still makes 157bhp (its not a lot, but its only 1 or 2 shy of what it was new). The biggest selling feature is that it has zero rust, which is amazing for a car its age.

The town and shopping car is a 2002 Clio
The fun car is an immaculate 1996 Impreza Turbo

1995 Toyota Starlet GT Turbo

2006 350 (Fairlady) Z, 36K miles; 10K of mods. Will most likely get rid of it soon for something more daily drivable.

MK2 sierra 2l dohc
all new underneath but sufferes from tin rot in places

great fun tho

97 Alfa Romeo 146 1.6ts(120cv) & (mine)
98 Alfa Romeo 145 1.4ts(105cv) junior (my mome's)

an alfa 75/milano would do a great adition in the fun part tho

picking this up at the end of the month


the car 95 linclon mark viii 32 valve 4.6 V8 on good fuel and decent altitude ill call if 300 hp


my baby began life as an 86 honda 250r there are maybe 5 stock pats left on it

My car: 1998 VW Gol 1.6MI - 92cv - 180kmh topspeed (factory data) but speedometer tells 190kmh
It´s the best car my little money could buy. Good mileage and reliability. Has got 106.000km.
The car is similar to this one, but 4 door version


My father´s car: 1998 Peugeot 306 1.9 Diesel - 70cv - could handle a 3.200km trip from buenos aires to patagonia and return at 160kph all way with no problem, plenty space for 4 persons, 4 snowboards and big luggages


Company cars:

sometimes a 2007 VW Suran 1.6 (feels like driving a truck after using my car, driving position is very high, and so it is CoG, I dont like the way it rolls when you are doing more than 150kph in the freeway and take a long turn)


othertimes a 2007 Renault Clio - 1.5dCi - 85cv (turbo diesel direct inyection commonrail)
the car is good overall, very low fuel consumption, reaches 170kph easily
similar to this one:

Quite interesting topic. Ehem... be ready for the worst contribution

I don't own a car yet, but sometimes I happen to drive a piece of reasonably priced junk just like this one:

...and it has an Opel/GM 1.6 to make it worse...aaand its suspension keeps falling apart for about 9 years of its 10.

And somtimes some offroading in a 1970s Lada of my grandad which is 1.2 so it has just a bit more horsepower than myslef. Ladas were built to be quite reilable at that time, so it'll keep going forever
