Chaff 3,619 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Got to say I had a passenger ride in a cosworth turbo around 500bhp in a mk1 escort 185 x 13s all round that had no carpets the noise was deafening I thought the car was just going to fold in half needless to say rear tyres were done in a few miles lol. I would pick a nice bimmer every time comfort speed reliability economy they seem to have it sewn up 20 year ago not sure about recent years tbh 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And you've just nicked it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
