Tonight:
- Quentin reveals some amazing classic car bargains.
- Tiff puts the new Range Rover through its paces.
- Vicki meets some boys who just can't leave their 'Saxo's' alone!
- and Adrian takes a look at the new Nissan Primera. Has it broken the reliable-but-dull mold?



He he...should be good for a laugh.

Maybe we should try to get a feature on us lot, I'm sure Tiff would love the handling characteristics of a 200sx on a wet track!!

It's fuuny you should say that. I've just been on their web site and sent them an email asking if we could get on the show.

I was just about to put up a post.

Would be more interesting than watching a bunch of scrabblemiesters :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Though i must admit that some of those Sexos had been nicely done.

The bloke in the 1.0L jobbie though was just about the saddest person I've ever seen.................scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble and scrabble :D :D :D :D

Ohmygod!!! What was going on in that blokes life when he woke up one morning and thought "I know what I can spend that spare £30k on, I'll get me a Saxo!" Don't get me wrong, it was a nice looking car and and I tip my bowler to him but THIRTY GRAND!
Think of what sort of Skyline,Scooby,Supra or Mitsi you could build with that sort of money!!!! BONKERS!:eek:

30k on a saxo is stupid. You could get so much more for 30k+initial cost of saxo vts (12k?)

And when the average bod on the street sees your car they only see a Saxo with a bodykit, big wheels and a big exhaust... which doesn't cost 30k.

And chances are they'd be left behind by a 42k car (if this is important)... (Hmm TVR Cerbera 4.5 RR, anyone?) (LHD 993 Turbo 4?) (Nearly new Noble M12 GTO?) (TVR Tuscan?) (TVR Tuscan race car? muahahah)

Put it this way I know what I'd rather have and all the above cars would still turn heads (if that is important, which is what it was to the guy)...

Still, each to their own!

The bloke with the Saxo that he spent 30K on works at R-Tec in Hatfield. I spoke to him the first time I went up there. I reckon he has 30K's worth of kit on his motor, but may have got it at a discount for working at R-Tec. Did you notice the logo was quite visible when the did the in-car shots? Gotta be worth a couple of free subs at least:D
