...you have a blackpool bucket of rust that drinks petrol like a plane...mini size wheels....well i get 32mpg i think you get erm 16?....oh and I'm .4 of sec faster to 100 (where it counts sweetie)....mines limited to 155 and yours is 160 MAX!

This is the rambling of my friend Gel is drives a...wait for it a 1.8 TT SUPERCHARGED!

In a sec I will point the hairdresser in this direction but whilst i get him ready to pop over to the Pistonheads pub can you please explain to him why my Chim is faster than his 1.8 Audi

Who gives a shit, bloody Golf based shitboxes are 2 a penny. Is he a sheep?

[lemmonie]

I get the impression he is a bit of a girls blouse

the stereotype TT owner then with vast knowledge on car related matters. Like what a TVR body is made from.

Hmm, don't know the stats for the 1.8 (the asthmatic one) but certainly the 2.5 one is pretty quick.

Personally, I wouldn't get hung up about it. There's plenty of bland soleless euro-shitboxes kicking around that will probably eat a Chim for lunch. But at the end of the day, they're just bland mass-produced tripe bought by people with no imagination.

Anyhoo, take him out in the Chim and frighten him shitless!!. Mind you if he did the same in the TT you'd be sea sick.

Think its because they have never actually got close enough to see.I take it a TT is one of those irritating little silver dots you get on the rear view mirror.

I quite like them as long as you remember they are rebadged Skoda's and not 'proper' sports cars
And there is one opposite the office with a number plate that I can't help but read as W4NKA although it's actually a bit different

If you hear the engine, remark how it sounds like a sewing machine or a washing machine (or maybe a knitting machine) ? Or should that be a hair-dryer ?!?

Amazing design idea - mounting the engine in front of the front wheels. Tech-bock-wurst-von-bollox as the saying goes. But then make it four wheel drive to compensate for it being a fundamentally bad design (VW Golf). This then makes it nice and overweight which gives naff acceleration.

Something I have always had a problem with the looks is working out which end is supposed to be the front....

[lemmonie]

Strangly enough the last two cars he had were in fact VW Golf's.

hmmm

Are you sure he's not just swapping the panels over

[M@H]

The engine is the same as goes into the Audi S3 isn't it..?

[bridgdav]

IMHO...

Its taken over the JELLY MOULD badge that the Ford Sierra had in the 80's / 90's..

Isn't it modelled on the Skoda Labia because every xxxxx got one....

And some Audi A4, A6, the Seat Ibiza & Leon, and some Skoda Octavias.....

Believe that the Skodas and Seats handle better than the TT, and they just stick to front wheel drive.

[gerbel]

LMAO.. I'm the TT culpit.. and I challenge any of you corsa/saxo max power masturbating losers that my very very quick (highly tuned hair dryer, golf like dark blue TT) will thrash any of your poxy cars round brands... any one in fancy a track day?

April 12th I will be there and they are timing laps..

Gel

Ps - TVR's not a bucket of rust just a bucket, do appologise for the rust comment.

[lemmonie]

Let the public thrashing commence!

Ha ha, that's hilarious! Being the owner of a Chimaera 400 and having a best friend who drives an 225bhp TT I can say for certain this is b0ll0cks. The guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

Oh, and I've spanked a few TTs not driven by people I know too - if he knew anything about cars he would just look at the torque-to-weight and power-to-weight ratios and know he's talking shte. He's either winding you up and you've fallen for it big-time or he's an ignorant moron.

Of course, in the wet, it might be a bit closer up to about 60mph...
