I honestly think that if I'd owned a quicker car' date=' I'd be dead by now. Just ask a certain person who was behind me at the C&F meet :D

Shame the number 291 bus doesn't go as quick as a 2.0 Fabia mind :([/quote']

Mate, you should be dead by now. I don't know how you made some of those bends

Clearly you need to fly Mil over, to set up your suspension, then imagine the things you could do. You could take me like a king

Changed my mind - this IS the best thread ever. Only made it to the 220th post though. Tired now.

Since when do you feel the need to make fun of me like that? I remember a time you used to be on my side.

Shifty, can I take you like a king too? And then we could go out in our cars for a race!

Amid the confusion over the phrase "take like a king" I thought I'd do some research.

Google diddnt produce much of use until I clicked to do an image search.... here are some images associated with "take like a king"

What's the 350 got to do with it? :confused:

:rofl: I doubt I'd get much out a car with similar power figures to him, yet more torque. The suspension needs working true enough, but then again, if I started off with the 2.0 :rubchin:

Im not making fun Mil. You should come here to England and start a suspension tuning company.

If you can make a Fabia outhandle the impressive list of cars you provided, you are onto a winner.

Have the Red Bull WRC team not been in touch yet?

Ah, I keep coming back to this post from time to time.

Has he got a video of his Fabia pulling a couple of G's around a corner yet?

Thats not as far removed as you may imagine. I easily pull 1.25 g on corners, it goes off the scale then though. No joke either.

I think the record for a production car is an M3 CSL at 2.9g, but the Subaru Prototype (Or was it Nissan) does a bit more.

He won't be able to spin, he has Firenzas

I'm with Shifty, you should find a nice town in the UK and start a suspension tuning company.

You'd need a ch*v filled town with lots of roundabouts and short dual carriageways to test the cars on. Theres a new town in north Bucks that would do nicely - but I cant remember the name of it :(
