Chris

a rover 200 is too fast? may i suggest a robin reliant, or a bicycle?

Might I suggest you do a bit of research before placing your foot quite firmly in your gob?? Ever seen a 200Vi?? Ever driven one?? Well I can assure you that I can spin the wheels at 50 mph in 3rd gear in this one!! How about yours??

Chris

Am I allowed to answer this one?

Rover 2000VI too fast?
My little Renault still manages to spin its wheels in second gear when pressed too far in the wrong conditions? Given a greasy road I can manage to do the same in third gear.
Chris. Try roadworthy tyres!!! Or try taking the diving boots off?
Paul.

my 6.9 litre s class mercedes will spin the wheels in top (3rd actually its a 3 speed auto) at any speed you dare try it.

spinning wheels doesnt show how fast a car is, its the ones whose wheels dont spin that are the fast ones

Sorry Paul but it's only a 200 Vi not a 2000! And if I had a 6.9 litre motor car I wouldn't be trying to spin the wheels either? But then again that's why I have a 200 Vi for sale!!

Stop Press!!
Car now has a full years mot!!

Chris

Ps. Ever driven a R/Robin?? Now there is a fst car - seriously!! for size to weight ratio, plus the fact your Arris is closer to the ground too

Chris sorry to "hijack" your thread but i figured you might like to read the following (check out the kent police bit)


On the road to fame

• The Robin appeared in the 1977 film Star Wars. Luke Skywalker's hovering landspeeder was built around one.

• In 1989 a Cheshire firm was reported to be giving Robins to sales staff who failed to meet their targets.

• In 1992 traffic police in Kent were overtaken by a customised Robin, fitted with a 1000cc Nissan engine, at 102mph.

• In 1997 repair and delivery staff at the the US embassy in London introduced a fleet of Robins to get around quickly.

• A 20 stone Yorkshire trucker said this year he had two sacks of potatoes in the passenger seat to stop his tipping over.

I actually really enjoyed driving my mates Robin. It had a cracking gearbox....really good fun. The pillock did the inevitable though and 'capsized' it into a Lake District dry stone wall....

P.S. (Whispering) I once had a Skoda Rapide and also really enjoyed driving that beastie. Great fun thanks to it's engine location.
