Hot hatches and homosexuality go hand in hand don't they????

 

I never thought they did....until you bought one

 

Oi!!!! It's supposed to be a secret!!!!!

What happened? Why not stick to your word rather than coming back on here to bang on about your crappy old Porsche, ringing and the birds french shopping trolley?


Anyway back on topic the Civic is better in every way than the 182 except perhaps outright 'fun' for want of a better word. As an ownership proposition there is no competition though the Type R wins hand down unless you are on a tight budget.

 

...what......your gayness.....

Sorry about that

 

Charming users such as your goodself, well, I just couldn't keep away could I, I mean how could anyone!

 

I'll re-phrase it. Owning a hot hatch for any other purpose than to simply rag the bollox off it is gay. Having one, shining it up and saying it's the best car in the world is gay.

....come to think of it, it's on a similar gayness level to most scooby owners. Only difference is, their hot hatch has a boot.

Chill people, this thread is a question on the 182. Wicked car. The CTR wasn't involved - was it?

 

We know you have no self discipline, aren't a man of your word etc just wondered why you came back after posting such a load of self aggrandising old tripe like that.

Anyway explain how the 182 makes a better choice that the CTR because I really cannot see it. Unless of course one can't scrape together a few more pennies to make the step up?

 

...but it still looks like a breadvan though.

 

Unfortunately for most people owning a car merely to "rag the bollox" of it isn't an option. This is why they want something that will be reliable, have good dealers.....the whole package really.

To use your crappy parlance what is 'gay' is owning a hot hatch just to 'rag the bollox of it' because if that's all you want to do there are far better choices than a hot hatch. ******* amateurs.

 

Agreed but the Clio looks like a bog standard shopping trolley bought because the owner can't afford to run a real car.

BTW I have neither.

 

CTR isn't a Hot Hatch imo - I consider it slightl;y a touch above.

So, what's better than a hot hatch to rag the fooock out of for 3 grand?? please do tell cos I fear I've made a TERRIBLE mistake buying a GTi-6 to hammer the bollox off.

 

We weren't talking about tired old 3K hot hatches,typical of a *** like you to try and change the goalposts when your argument is blown apart. In any case if it was my 3 grand I'd spend it on track days and drive around in a decent car the rest of the time.

 

"a decent car" ?

Tread carefully, you have NO IDEA what I have owned <blows own trumpet>

.....and subsequently realises "decent cars" aren't all they're made out to be.....

 

I guess it is inevitable that if you are asking peeps opinions on iether the CTR or Clio you are gonna get the other one brought into the conversation at some point. They are very comparable for performance (in the real world). And both have their advocates. The Civic has a cracking engine, a gearbox to die for and a chassis that grips amazingly well. Yet the Clio has the sort of steering feel that CTR drivers can only dream of.

The only two points I would make are:

Whilst 'Civic' is hardly an inspired choice of name, whoe'd want a car called a 'Clio'
And Hondo DO NOT offer silly white go faster stripes as an option .

 

The Civic is a Hatchback and the Type R bit makes it a hot hatchback!

If MickyQ is considering a Clio he should also look at the CTR cause for a few extra quid it is the better package. And you can Rag the bollocks of it all day long and bits wont fall off it!

Anyway hot hatchs were never designed to look outstanding, they were designed to be fun driving machines that dont cost the earth!!

 

This is now way off topic

 

Agreed - but it's back on track now.....let it run unless it gets crude or properly abusive please. As yet, it's only banter.......on my part anyway

Ta.

 

Easy tiger!! lol. I prefer the Civic myself over the Clio, I considered buying one however I considered 12k too much money for something that is designed to be hammered. So, I have a cheap car to get me to work (110 miles a day) and a 306 GTi-6 for track/'Ring usage. Thus far, I have said nothing that is negative towards you in the slightest.

You are a stressy blighter aren't ya!!!!

Chill Labour boy - it's only the internet....

Oh, there's nothing tired about a 1998 R plate GTi-6 soon to be running a decent suspension setup - or do I need to spend masses of (borrowed) money to go fast Mr New Labour??

The irony in your "amateur" comment is undoubtedly un-equaled.

 

I'm just having a laugh couldn't you tell? Or was it not obvious?

Why not get something a bit better than a GTI-6 for the ring? Like a 306 Rallye for a start or was that a bit too much money for you?

 

"Something a bit better" - elaborate?? What would you suggest?? Seriously, I'm keen to have any input on this point.

P.S. Bearing in mind Rallye's are cheaper I'd think twice before posting that.

 

Enough is enough
