How are scooby drivers getting on or not, with the hideous fuel prices. It must be a killer as an everyday user. And the wonkers are trying to hike it up again.

not bad i accept it really at the end of the day if i wanted good fuel economy i would buy a diesel not a sports car

Diesel for me 75% of the time

All the same and i understand what you say, but it must still be harsh having to fill up more often now. You can get diesel sports you know, and some very quick ones at that, but the touble with them is when on full blat they are thirsty even for a diesel

not using the right foot as heavy as i use to. getting about 260/270 per fill up so only costing about £140 a month but god is it boring
glad i only use the car for work at the moment, but if the fuel goes past £1.50 i will be looking at using the train and only using the car at weekends.

Im working at Bob woulnough or whatever his name is (reads the central news) house tomoz. Any luck he'll have one of those polish maids, short skirt, big **** type, yaaahooo if so i might put in some overtime,lol.

deanb1980

lol yeah they do have sports diesels but there not really a sports car a diesel porsche is wrong thats like going to maccys and having a salad just plain wrong and as for the dubs there rubbish now compared to the olden days a mk2 golf is the bollocks and the new golf is just bollocks jap cars are the way forward more reliable for a start oh and H if your in the market for a ford i work at bristol street could see what i can do for you if you want one but not the rs i wouldnt let you buy one of those bags of ****.

You must be the only one on this planet then to rubbish the RS, apart from the mk4 escort rs and fiesta rs, Ford generally dont get it wrong. As far as jap cars being the way forward, in what, mid range family saloons, and reliability are you for real. you work for ford so you should know all the issues mazda cars and nissan are pants, as for toyota, read the recalls The new skyline yes, is a great car but theres not much else going on for jap motors. Id rather be running around in a 20 year old dub than a welded together rice box. When youve had the amount of motors ive had and built then come back and put a sensible argument forward, not just spouting off for the sake of it. Ive had **** loads of scoobys and modded them all, so im pretty sure i know what im on about, and my judgement is not clouded about japs or germans, i just know what i prefer and trust. You should'nt be so judgemental on another marque unless you have actually owned or driven them. Do you work at BS FORD on the bristol road, if so tell selby, webby said hi.

deanb1980

the rs is pants bad turning circle, inlet manifold has a thing for exploding and not much better than the st for far less money and as for the amount of cars i have had loads of differnet cars including fiesta turbo's vw golf gti's pug gti's and wasted money on them all ive worked in the motor trade for 15 years and as for your vw it is nice and im not spouting off just making a point that a real sports car is never a diesel and toyota's recall is nothing compared to the 27 that were on the c5 on the first day of sale so i do know my stuff and if you actually drove a rs focus you would understand that it is horrible and way too expensive for what it is

DB i think a turning circle is not going to be my ultimate decision on not buying a performance car, unless i live in camden. And actually i do have access to an RS FOCUS as well as several others including an electric mongole car (it is a special car) as my old man works in the trade selling specialist cars and its a cracking piece of kit and saying the ST is better is, well lets say a bit clouded. I really did'nt want to mention that, but you seem bent on slagging anything thats not jap, Lighten up dude, weve all got our choice of cars and have you ever seen me on here slagging scoobys off. Eeeerrr i dont think so

deanb1980

i dont slag everything off except jap this is my first jap car actually i prefer citroens or french cars but spent too much on reliability issues my vw golf was reliable apart from the starter seizing and as for the st comment the rs is 15k more than the st if you look closely at the rs you will notice the scoops are cheap the front bumper trims are all in different places and the quality of the production is very poor so i would buy a st-3 for 17k spend 4k on it and have a faster better car

I meant old skool Fords BTW

deanb1980

lol im yet to drive a mk2 rs2000 thats the only car i would pay good money for in the classic section and as a rusty shell is 5k may take me a while to save to buy a nice one

well i got all 3, the fuel prices are stupid at the moment and my scoob thinks it a fish im sure!!! my mk3 escort will soon be passed on to my nephew so we needed something else as a cheap reliable everyday runner and when a mk3 golf came up cheap as chips a deal was done, it is mainly for the missis to use (keep her out of mine lol) only trouble is i think the modding bug as hit her to, set of coil overs on the way and a set of 15" multispokes with stretched tyres this is just to start apparantly!!! so the money i would be saving on fuel she is spending on her new toy!!!

I usually get about 220-230 miles to a tank, but if I'm only going to and from work it's about 20 miles a week. Went to London this weekend and managed to get 260+ miles and I've still got just less than a 1/4 of a tank left

CREWJ

I usually get about 320 miles to a tank. With the prices going up it looks like a second car is the only way.
