Random Irritations

[GreiginFife]

Best car I had when I was younger was the Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi. That was a beast in black with red trim

Had a white 1.9 GTi a couple of cars after the XR2i. Drunk driver ploughed in to it while it was parked up on the village main street. Heart broken I was.

I didn’t say it was a banned member.

No need to report anything to anyone.

It’s a personal random irritation, as per the thread title.

It wasn’t aimed at you specifically.
It was more the hysteria when this happens,which is quite regular.

Just take a breath & remember it’s just a golf forum

[Pin-seeker]

I trust you always stook to the speed limits tho Phillip

 

[GreiginFife]

Whilst not a hatch, my modified M340i is the best car I’ve ever driven and anyone that says modern cars are boring is talking rot.

I think I’d have cried if someone did that to my one!

Another car I had when I was younger that was immense. My dad actually gave me, a 1989 MG Maestro 2.2L Turbo they were limited edition 0-60 in 6.7 seconds and Top Gear had one on a few years ago racing a 911.

That was a phenomenal car ran on 4* leaded petrol was a beast of a machine. Gutted I ever got rid of it for sentimental reasons as much as anything. Couldn’t find one the same colour mine was Atlantic Blue with the white alloys

I had an MG Montego EFi. The entire range was notorious for rusting wheel arches, and don’t get me started on the red paint oxidisation. I spent my entire life polishing it, until the head gasket went and I scrapped it. Oh, and the heater didn’t work.

Dreadful car, remembered with as much fondness as some of my football team’s summer sales will be in the years to come.

 

[GreiginFife]

Yeah ok

Yeah it’s dead boring when the car spends 90% of the time trying to kill you.

Rear Wheel arches by any chance! That was one of the issues I had with it. Had to strip them right back and have them remoulded with fibre glass.

I also remember an issue with the boot lock as in the whole barrel would literally just fall out so you could open the boot with a pencil

My dad had the Montego EFi as well in a metallic red he spent more time polishing that than he did with us kids

Yep, the rear arches were a disaster area.

sounds like the car is too much for you

It’s not discriminatory, it will try to kill anyone.

That was VERY quick back then.

That was VERY quick back then.

It was a literal beast of a machine. The steering was so heavy on it due to the performance and sheer amount of power it had to be. Put your foot down and it was unreal and corners like it’s on rails. That’s one of the test they did on top gear against the 911 due to its power to weight ratio and how quick off the line it was.

Put in a low gear or reverse and trying to park in a bay, then you needed forearms like popeye to manoeuvre the thing!

Edit: genuinely surprised I never killed myself in it

Loved it
