Pashley26 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 But unlike you I don't spend all week sat on a soggy beach wishing my car wasn't 200 miles away parked up. I get in it every morning and have a wonderful drive to work and back every single day. when I go to bed at night I think to myself "Tomorrow will be a great day: I get to drive the audi." Sat in my lovely comfortable S3 leather Recaros, with my beautifully sculpted S4 steering wheel, my TT pedals just urging me to experience double the torque and double the power of your Renault Megane. And you know what the best bit about it all is? My phone doesn't cut out when I change to third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Been there, done that, got bored, grew up. And your half baked Prawn Wanabe isn't double the torque or double the power of my free brand new company car, so yet again you've dropped a factual bollock You need to stop turning everything into a comparison or competition all the time, you keep losing and it's not good for moral Whilst you're getting more and more wound up spunky and I are laughing at you via text message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 It does! I promise... (A) I did a manifold - turbo gasket today, and cleaned the tb. Pretty certain it's sorted, just need to get this bloody front dogbone bush sorted. I'm not wound up? if i was wound up i'd be on my way round to your old mans to torch his house. Half baked Prawn wannabe! It's better than yours ever was as a road car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Its exactly the same lol, its got the same bolt on mods (literally THE same).

Pashley26 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 They weigh SO much! What do CR seats weigh? Any idea? The cloth S3 Recaros weighed a ton too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Take Danny (for instance) and put him in my car, then an LCR. The only things the un-trained driver will ever notice are the slightly shorter rack, the brakes and mine being faster. Are you one of these 'trained' drivers?

Prawny Baby Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 TB, 8-9 months was 4 cars and a totally different a3 ago man!

MadManMike Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Still don't quite get the whole "too many doors" thing. Making people climb in and out of your car is a f**king massive pain in the arse, I MUCH prefer having rear doors. The whole thing about it looking better, well, to me that's invalid as the LCR is stunning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) The last person to sit in the back of my car was Prawn on New Years eve 2012. The last person to sit in the back of my car before that was Prawn on the 7th of November 2009 when Lou came to Basingstoke and we went to the cinema. Before that the last person to sit in the back seat of one of my cars was my dad on the 25th of April 2008 when I passed my driving test. I don't use back seats for people; but I need the space for convenience and so that nothing has to clutter my line of sight when in the drivers seat.

Tom Booth Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Keep up TB! Since then I have had a Volvo 740, a Clio 172 and an E36 BMW. I try to, but I get lost in a sea of detailing, stance and fastest Audis in the woooorld. Then I just sorta loose interest and watch porn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing about it looking better, well, to me that's invalid as the LCR is stunning. The leon is an exception on the whole where a 4 door car looks fantastic. On the whole, where a car is available in 3 or 5 door, the 3 door always looks considerably better. I don't get into the back of my own car, so I'll never struggle. I put things in the boot, not the back seat, so I have no issues with making rear seat passengers struggle. I'd much rather have a better looking car than make life easier for the 3-4 times a year when I have someone in the back of my car. It's a petrol head thing....

Pete.M Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Jardo had a Volvo 740 Why didn't TF see this? Related news; brick is now boosted to around 11psi. It's faaarrrr too much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Yeah man I had a 262C and a 240GLE back in the day too. - It's pretty high spec,fully polybushed, diff, BC coilovers, Hi-Spec floating brakes front and rear, some silly titanium race exhaust cams, omex, buckets, half cage and jazz. Goes well and handles great, not too stiff. It will be great on track. Edited February 28, 2013 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well I guess it depends how you use it. I have passengers quite often and hate standing around while they clamber in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 That MX-5 looks great fun, please tell me he's going to close the bonnet properly though! Having it like that looks silly and achieves nothing. I'm feeling the want for a daily driver again, but I really fancy something stupid. I'm thinking some sort of '60s, '70s or early '80s estate. Anyone got any suggestions? The quirkier and more characterful the better. (And yes Pete, I have considered just getting another 240!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
