Because I cant drive.

This is why you shouldn't buy a nice car.
Speedo dying was what happened to the EAC Fiesta we had too, so don't expect just a new ECU to fix it Smile

And whoever is trying to say a civic is superior to a cooper didn't even.... Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
Also note the 2002 Cooper S fitted with the lighter wheels only weighs 1120kg. And if you really want to compare your "top of the line Honda" the Cooper GP only weighs 940kg and has a stock 0-60 of 5.9 seconds with a mere 218hp.

My Chubby Cupra did 5.6 to 60mph with full interior/spare/tools. With a mere 211 bhp. Ladies put your Epenises away and have a discussion, not an argument. The world would be an awful place if everyone like the same things. I like Civics and Coopers. I can see merits and disadvantages in both. Its all down to personal choice. But really, is there need for all the "your cars shit" "no, your cars more shit"

Could be RIP fiesta by the looks of it. just hope it survives its journey to northampton wednesday.

Bad times Tub's =( Hope you get something nice if it is bye bye fez and dont bump the new one so much.

Update to my Cupra. Taking it down a few 1/4miles soon sooo took the rear seats/bench out the otherday. Jesus! they weight a tonne!- Okay.. just under 50kg's. Results will be better performance, better mpg(though its pretty good as it is) and no taxi jobs ahaha. Wonder what its "bragging"(0-60 1/4mile) times are now. . .

Says its just stripped vs non stripped. Imagine what an extra 30ish bhp will do like mine aha

Not good looking but does the job Smile

Heard from the Police yesterday, no CCTV footage unfortunately Sad

Also, as the car only had about 10-15miles worth of petrol in it, I thought the best chance of a sighting would be at a petrol station. However, it seems the CCTV cameras at garages are not linked to the police national computer Sad

What a joke.

Sent all the various forms to my insurance company today, will get there tomorrow, so hopefully that will get the ball rolling. From asking people, and some stuff on other forums, it seems the likely method of theft is somehow getting a duplicate key - which is scary.

**[RDSR] Roba** · 2012-03-20, 20:46

I think that's pretty decent idea from Tubby Tongue

Tubby · 2012-03-20, 20:48

its a bloody bargain. been looked after and serviced every year, 2001 60k miles, hes going to scrap it otherwise he just wants rid because she picked up the brand new fiesta today and he gets his company car in two weeks,
