stevewes 14 Posted October 19, 2014 ...I'm using this 1976 Honda Civic 1200 instead. Didn't the article say it was a couple of years older than the plate suggested? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dockertrigger 2 Posted October 19, 2014 Yep, it's a 1974 built car but sold in 1976, it has a few bits that only 1974 cars had like a single column stalk, vent in the B post and smaller strut tops. It's thought that the car sat in the dealers showroom for the 2 years as a display model before being registered and sold off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Messer 2 Posted October 19, 2014 foooook me that's shiny :) ...and You washed it earlier that day :juggle: you know me I like to keep my cars shiny :) plus that was the day I picked it up only had about 15 miles on the clock so hadn't had a chance to get any scratches or swirls on it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danish 294 Posted October 20, 2014 Here's mine. Golf R. Quite a spritely little thing with 300 horses :) Spritely? My Clio has 200 horses and it's verging on insane, so 300... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messer 2 Posted October 20, 2014 Spritely? My Clio has 200 horses and it's verging on insane, so 300... well its a 4wd so traction is pretty good. Think the official figures say 0-60 in 4.9s. Pretty good on fuel too I'm averaging 28 mpg round town with some spirited driving and late 30s on the motorway. I'm a fan of the clio sport though had a few of the phase 2 172s and 172 cup which was brilliant fun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the-ford-cortina.com 225 Posted October 20, 2014 . Pretty good on fuel too I'm averaging 28 mpg round town with some spirited driving and late 30s on the motorway. I wouldn't call that " good " on fuel - my Cortina does nearly that :headscratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messer 2 Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't call that " good " on fuel - my Cortina does nearly that :headscratch: for a 300 Hp 4wd? I'll take that definitely. My 105bhp cortina does about 25 mpg. My delta integrale running 260hp used to struggle to break 20 mpg on a run! Suppose I'm used to pretty thirsty cars, my bmw 330i m sport I just sold used to do 26 mpg and the golf would leave it for dead Edited October 20, 2014 by Messer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strangely it gets within 1 or 2 mpg whether I'm driving sensibly or caning it. :headscratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsley 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Bumping the thread with my daily hack, 2008 Suzuki Swift 1.5...had it since new. Great car and never had any problems with it. In hindsight I should have got a manual but the auto goes alright. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
