Awww how cute. The two greatest and most "famous" spammers competing who has the better 50cc moped. Awwww 
i'm not a spammer, g'ah at ye
I haven't even bought the thing yet, a 50cc moped is the only thing i can ride at 16, and something like this just looks crap imo
Mopeds are such chav symbols now I don't want one. Shame because they are pretty useful

I see mt wellington in the background
You sure do. That pic was taken out Brighton way (bit further).
i want a car, but i also want a job - and living in the middle of nowhere and being nearly 16 makes a moped an attractive offer.
Plus when i'm 17 i highly doubt i can afford a car, and at least i'll have something to use.
you would be suprised LOL it used to get abused 24/7
dragging it 4 years or so back
sponsored by my mates business
and after i took over a carwash franchise and sponsored it by my business LOL
cant beat some snow donuts on your own land, the used car dealer next door was going nuts PMSL
having good grip does not hamper "fun" and the adjustable rear swaybar can be set harder to give a pretty much RWD drive when needed
yea flame me for rocking an mx-5..
Zandvoort ? Nice MX5..looks good
yep, zandvoort
hmm mr2 beats all them cars ?? well i think its kinda hard when the supra tho lagging until 4 gear stock would bat the mr2 mainly because of its clearly poor gear ratios
also i could just go and buy a Volvo s50 or maybe a merc 190e cosworth for the same money as an mr2 but the fact is . There Good but not good enough to hold them selfs against the real pre-supercars such as the evo bmws etc
they can handle upto about 700 hp with about a 1200 kg mass ( you gotta stiffen the hell out a that car or you lose tons of power like all Toyota's )
but still if you buy say a old 316i bmw , it will eat the mr2 before hitting 3rd gear
also Please don't post youtube videos i can find ones where a mini cooper beats a top fuel dragster in a race and it just makes you look like a fool
and another bomb shel upon that one i sold my project cars
no more rare bmw , hello 25000 euro yeah ive seen mni's beating things.
i also said its not always about the car its about the driver, if i can find that vid i was talking about ill post it and yes a supra would beat an mr2 both stock down drag etc but not always true on a like tsukba

Feeling threatened by any chance? Why else bring it up? Maybe you've never driven an MX-5. Maybe you like understeer? But fear not, because I would put money on an MX-5 keeping up with you in twisties (although I suppose this depends on your definition of 'twisties', but I reckon a road where you'll rarely get above 60mph when driving fast might count). In a car with just over half the weight, less than half the power, no silly ricer mods [edit: I'm not saying all your mods are btw. Some are very very very sensible and against the grain of most ricers], half the price (when new), and half the driven wheels that's not bad.
But as you will claim not to feel threatened by it (either in terms of status [don't want a hairdressers calling your car a bit rubbish after all] or in terms of financial sense) I won't expect you to answer. And as I check this thread about once every ~6 months there'd be little point (unless you feel worried, as I said).
Yeah, it's always funny to see people bashing Miata's and just goes to show how little they really know about handling and true "twisty" driving. I do respect scooby's, but as somebody else said, where they really shine and belong are off the tarmac. Of course they'll launch good in a drag , being AWD and whatnot, but true driving involves more than going in a straight line.
I think it's quite funny how people get all worked up about how one car is better than another, or not. Which is best, 4x4, RWD, FWD, 8 cylinders, 6 cylinders, 4 cylinders, japanese, european or american, and so on. What does it matter? Each car has good and bad points, and which one is best depends on how and where it's used, no one car setup is perfect ...
Anyway, here is my car ...
It's a 1990 Ford Sierra XR4i MKII, RWD with a 2.0L DOHC engine.
Quite a few mods have been done, but nothing worth boasting about.
It's not fast, it's not in the best of conditions, it's not even clean, lol ...
But I like my car, looks good (in my opinion) and is a pleasure to drive ...
There are plenty of better cars out there, but I'll never be able to afford them!
Having 600bhp would be nice, but my crappy 145bhp gets me to the shops just fine, lol!

I completely agree, and also that the driver is the biggest factor. Regardless, it's funny to see people bashing MX-5's and shows just how little they know about them. Nice XR4i! By the few who really know about them, those are fairly coveted over here in the states. My two cars are the same - definitely not the nicest or most powerful, but tons of fun as daily drivers and they're my babies.
(and I too will likely never be able to afford much more :razzAlot of the hot fords never made it to the states for some strange reason, you got the Merker XR4Ti, but that looks strange compared to the Sierras we have here, and it's nothing compared to the RS Cosworth models. But as I said, the one I got is nothing to boast about, just a mid range model with a few tweaks, lol ...
That's the most important thing!
I went out in my MX-5 with a bunch of Subaru guys, some with 2.5RS's, some with latest model WRXs, some stock, some modified. We were on some fairly twisty roads and I was constantly slowing down on straight bits to let everyone catch up after I pulled away in the corners. After we pulled over, one WRX driver said he was happy we stopped as he didn't have any brakes left. When he commented that the Miata must have good brakes, I told him I didn't really use them I wasn't pushing that hard on that day anyway, as I never do when I have other cars following me that might not know their own limits. And in autocross I'm pretty much always quicker than WRXs and usually faster than most STi's. A lot of people underestimate the Miata...
Anyway, I'm sure some of it comes down to driver. If you had put one of the Subaru drivers in my car on that day and me in a WRX perhaps I still would have pulled away from them on the roads we were on, who knows.

Those old GTT's (scooby's) understeer even more then my '89 FWD Corolla. Unless you have one with a DCCD, they are CRAP. period.
Good attitude! I like.
lmao different cars handle different adjust your driving style to suit the car
I guess you've never driven one (on the limit) ? They really understeer without the DCCD, and not just a little. Yes you can adjust your driving style, but that doesn't make the car understeer less. You're just trying to hide it's shortcomings. On tarmac the old GTT handle really bad, they just belong off-road. But you don't have to agree with me if you don't want to, I'm sure the people with a bit knowledge about cars , or these cars specific, know what I'm talking about.
