What pleasure would you gain from this Mega?

To keep the scooby folks in the picture this guy infests the Lotus BBS going on about how much better his Civic Type R is than Elise, like anyone there gives a **** about whether or not a hot hatch is faster than their 2 door convertible sports car down a dual carriageway.

He's also been going on about Longbridge closing as if he gets some sort of pleasure out of thousands of people losing there jobs.

He's also the guy who admitted that the only reason he rode bikes was to escape the law after nicking stuff.

There are some vile species of amoeba on the various BBS's but apart from those that gloat or are "holier than thou" at accidents, this guy seems appears to be the saddest and lowest lifefrom out their.

W@nker

Hi Gang
Just wondering if anyone has a guess at which of the following is going to go "Belly up" first in the next year or so.

MGR
Fiat
Vauxhall
Lotus

They all make pretty **** poor cars, but my Money is on MGR, their sales figs for last month did a dive. There adsvertising like mad, but old designs, **** poor build, bad customer services etc is likely to do for them.
Any thoughts?

I liked to see Fiat get the bullet.

Lotus & Vauxhall deserve to stay for various reasons.

The Vauxhall/Ford thing must be an inherited Gene.

because my dad had one of the very first Cavalier SRi - A reg. Two tone Red/Antharcite. I must have been 8 or 9. It went very well. I remember Dad doing 120 on the autobahn with the entire family and roof rack on the way to camping in Austria ( I mainly remember it for the right argument My Mum had with him about it )

Dad had the car for over 10 year so I grew up with it.

I progressed from Mini to Nova SR and loved it. Wouldn't have touched a Sierra or Fiesta with a barge pole for no reason I've ever really been able to work out other than we were a "vauxhall" family.

Bizarre

They are going to die or shape up. I think die in most cases!
If they where great cars or just well built they wouldn't be in the trouble they are now.

Don't know about Lotus, might make a come back.
Vauxhall:- GM needs to inject some pace sytle etc, might win though
Fiat:- DIE!
MGR:- DIE NOW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
