Forget it, its obvious that this forum is exactly how I thought it would be and is filled with chavs, boy/girl racers and general dicks who couldn\'t give a shit about anyone else who is having trouble because all they care about is themselves.

Ah yes, it is a wind up because cock\'s like yourself who cannot accept criticism about something have to lower themselves to insults.

Pathetic.

Not really as you promote dickhead driving wheras my points were given because my car suspention collapsed on a road.

Right, quick question for everyone with an opinion to answer;
Why are saxo\'s so shit to drive, expensive to own and rot worse than the shit that rover were selling?

I ask this because I have a VTR and it has to be the worst car I have ever owned, does 22mpg on a good day(I have 5 points so drive 2mph under any speed limit), the steering is vague at best (my old volvo had more response and feedback) and I saw somebody\'s saxo the other day that had more rust than paint on it.

Any idea why or is it just that french pieces of toss cars like citroen and peugeot are cheap shit cars which just end up costing a fortune?

I\'m running with 5 points myself and wouldn\'t even contemplate doing an undeclared engine swop because it voids everything when you do one and if caught, you could be looking at a legthy ban if caught. Yes, you WILL get caught eventually.

Has anybody(pref in the NW) got some standard vtr alloys OR a set of alloys that would fit my VTR, pref as cheap as possible and doesn\'t matter if they have tyres or not.

Thanks

Hey all, as you can prob tell by my post count, I am very new around here and wanted to ask some questions and get some opinions from you all.

I have recently come into ownership of a \'99 VTR and after coming to it from a heavily modified metro I wasn\'t too sure about it and was pleasently surprised, even with the horrific chav reputation that they seem to have...

Anyways, as I am new to torsion bars and the general handling/suspention setup of saxo\'s, I wanted to know what people have tried and what they suggest an what is a big no-no(like letting fluid out of metro suspention instead of individualisting it and lowering it properly). I am not too bothered about the speed of the car at the moment as I prefer to get handling and stopping sorted before booting in 130+ bhp.


Sorry for the essay, I am sure you are all fed up of people like me asking dumb questions like this....

Fair enough, from my experience in computers and anti-virus\' I wouldn\'t use or advise any home user to use anything other than AVG and wouldn\'t reccommend anything I don\'t use myself

Hey everyone who reads this, if nobody had guessed, my name is CJ and I am from the sunny(har har) north west of England in a town called Southport.
Currently I am a student and have been a rover fanboy(mainly metros) for the past few years and after a couple of accidents I thought I would have a bit of a browse around the car market to see what else was out there.
I had a volvo which was bloody comfy but was scary as hell on the m\'way(tracking and balanced wheels yet drifted around like it was on ice) and then got a rover 25 which was a pile of crap(no wonder rover went down).
So now I have a Saxo VTR which I was sold at a cheap price but it is not looking it\'s best atm with dents and scratches all over it but its got a 12 month ticket and has a very torquey engine which did surprise me after years of slagging my dads 206 hdi off about being french shite!

Anyways, for those who are still reading after that little essay just hello and I hope I fit in here as well as I did with my old metro club. Oh and here is a quick picture of it, you can make out one of the dents by the door!
