Have now decided I don't want THIS nad anymore though, will have to find something else shit...but something safer!! Locked it again today and nearly wrote it off, never had so many near misses in my driving career until buying this............and anyone that says it's my driving.....it usually isnt, its the lady gardens that cant read give way marking who pull out infront of me and don't even bother booting it out of the way! :mad:
tom that was me in my 1st metro, as they dont have any street credit at all.
the amount of near misses i had, i have lost count.
people pulling out on me at the last min, cutting me up and sitting off the rear bumper. it got to the point where i was going to hit someone over it! safe to say the horn on that car worked well.
i do get it with this one now and again too, but with this one been highly strung they dont really get the chance to tail gate it or cut me up or under cut.
i have a wife pull out on me at the last min, she couldnt get her car way fast enough. she got a shock as i just over took her with out any bother. sleepers are great fun
Tbh I got it in the golf too...but the golf has working 288mm ABS brakes............or 180bhp.........so either way can avoid issues there lol.
I really can't see how a car that has no ABS and brakes this small can still be deemed safe on todays roads, let alone the lack of overtaking power. And they're still making cars with an equally bad 0-60 these days, just so they pay no road tax and do 88mpg. :? :think:
