Well actually the reason I pointed you all to this thread so you could f**k off over there and leave this thread for posting your cars.
How much do Canadians charge for a smile again?
Get a satnav with the Mph readings, speedo's mean shit, mine told me I was doing 115 once, the damn thing wouldn't even go over 106mph when it was first produced, why would it go so far now? 
I had a knock hill racing experience voucher for my 18th, all in all for £100 I only got to drive 10 laps of the circuit, which was quite a let down.
To begin with I got the Leon Cupra R with an insturctor who was very lenient on how fast I could go, but the only real fun I had in that car was on my 3rd and final lap.
Then it was a 1.2 formula thing, the only thing I disliked about it was that the gears are operated by two buttons up the steering wheel, 1 above the other, so going up and down was done with my right thumb. I had 7 laps in this little thing, however I knew that it would go by quickly so I set straight to having some fun, getting it sideways through the last hairpin was a blast.
Then after 2 laps I was stuck behind about 4 cars, 3 of them let me and the guy infront by, but the guy infront clealry had 1 of those egos, so I had to wait untill he was blue flagged, then I got 1 flatout inlap in which I braked far to late for the second right hander and went sideways into the gravel. 
Just kept my foot in it and dropped a gear and it came out ok, I thought it was broken tbh coz im sure when I was full sideways the front wheel was bent..
I wouldn't like to pay for a ferrari experience or something of the sort, having an instructor there would just be off putting and a waste of money.
I'm glad to see someone is complaining, I was quite annoyed after my day, but mine was only a £100 voucher and I was more annoyed at being stuck behind such slowasses for most of the time, but I'd still go back.

More like firefox fail...
If your going for a corsa B then your just aswell going for a 1 litre, most of the 1.2's are only 8v, the 1litre has 12v meaning they are actually a little faster.
They are both group 2, however the 1.0 get's 50mpg when the 1.2 only does 41, it would actually be quite pointless to go for a 1.2 when the 1litre beats it everywhere.

If you want something that's going to have a bit of go about it then it's gunna be a 1.2sxi corsa, or a 1.4i VSX saxo. Both doing 0-60 in around 11 seconds.
The saxo is group 5, the corsa group 3, but if you want the cheapest to insure then your better getting a 1.0 12v corsa, it's a group 1, 0-60 in 16 seconds. My first car was a 1.2 corsa trip, 0-60 in 16.8 seconds and that felt nippy enough, had it on some long journeys and it overtook cars ok, was easier with a run up though.

Motorsport in Switzerland is non existant is it not? That's why Michael Shumacher lives there, because when he was an F1 driver, it meant he didn't have a job title over there, so he could sign on for benefits and his house tax and stuff would be paid for him.
The thing with those cars is their popularity with young drivers, so the insurance still wont be cheap enough for you not to grumble at it, beggers can't be choosers though.
As for FC over FPTF there really isn't that much of a differnce, when I was looking for my first insurance the differnce was no more than £100.
On elephant it was actually cheaper going FC, you really should be going FC anyway, you do a lot of backroad driving, which no doubt are going to have farm animals and deer running accross them at night, and they sure as hell aint gunna be able to give you their details after you send them 30 feet through the air.
Backroads also suck for other idiot drivers parking, only yesterday I went over a hill on my local backroad to Falkirk and there was a van and 3 cars pakred on the road with car coming the other way, only doing 60mph and I couldn't stop before the van, so had to slip by the van and between the parked cars, not fun.

So its a fail back at him?
Same picture....:S
"dpalonso" ie Martin Kronke uses clutch and H-shifter all the time, he's hellova fast in LFS, but more so he still holds records in rFactor using this setup...When he uses the padels etc he is slow because he's not used to it.
Well, if you find a rover which has a replaced head gasket then your in luck tbh, it's performance pisses over the 316 anyway..
I'm close to taking a green 214 16v, only because moneys so tight atm, but still, i'm at the stage where I don't care what I drive, i'd rather have money in my pocket.

Older ones are just as awesome!
A friend of mine borrowed one to go onto Mull last year from his grandad, took some mad videos of him drifting it around the single track roads, they rolled another one too, pulled into what seemed like a massive grass verge to let a car go past and it just sank into the ground and topped over, was totally fine though. Diesles are actually easier to learn in, they can practicly go in first gear without any throttle.... My big brother learned in a very old audi 80 diesle with over 200k on the clock, was the easiest thing in the world to drive.
316 or 1.9tdi A3, is that a test? A3 all the way, though the prices of them start rather high, if your looking for something like an A3, look at seat leons or ibizas, practicly the same car but cheaper.
In XFG I wouldn't really think it's going to help much because it's front wheel drive, though it might help your corner entry depending on the type of setup you have.
Heel toe is more helpfull in RWD cars that will break loose under braking.
By all means learn it and see what it does to your driving, because it's a good habbit to have and will mean learning the higher powered cars (Like XRT, LX6 etc) will be much easier and faster to get comfortable.

Well 700 miles using 57 litres of fuel (Generally the red light will have about a gallon or so in the tank) gives 55mpg, which is good.
On parkers at 110bhp 95-02 A4 says 53mpg, and this is usually a general mpg, not long journey stuff, so i'd say your getting what you should be out of it.
I had 47mpg on my last £20 of fuel, because it was all long journey stuff, but generally it's about 38, which is good considering I do lots of short journeys. (Parkers has mine at 41)

I know what it is, but what i'm saying is, remapping the car can be done by plugging the VAGcom in and changing values, perhaps someone without a clue has tried this. I'm not really sure but i'm guessing that you either get the car re-mapped, or plug in an ECU chip, as they both achieve the same thing from the engine?
If not, ignore this.
This thread rocks.
My 1.4 produces 75bhp, which is about average for a 16v 1.4, but you get all these other cars like MG/rover 1.4 16v's producing 100bhp, which is why they're allways in garages having new head gaskets fitted.
If you do happen to find a way to push 20bhp out of your 1.6, (Which is going to have what, 100k miles on it?) then your gunna encounted the same problems.
Cars are made as fast/slow as they are for a reason, that reason isn't to give 17 year old wet dreams before they pass their test.
As for the audi getting better MPG, work out how many miles to the gallon it gets in comparison to what it should get (Check parkers) because you might find someone without a clue has allready tried to remap it with a VAGcom and done it wrong.
