Nice one XRS!

(If a lairy looking Impreza can be a Q Car, this is it folks... you won't get anything much quicker than this with 4 doors.)

I was looking into a Litchfield Imports special myself, but in the end decided it was a bit too insane for my ageing bones.

Embarrassed any 911 Turbos lately?

You should try one - they are incredible. They also have adjustable suspension for those of us getting on in years and who need a softer ride

As for 911 Turbos - I couldn't possibly say

although i havent personally got one drove the parents new megane F1 R26, cracking little car to drive, very quick and the handling is fantastic.

also it surprisingly comftorble for a hot hatchback, one day i do hope to own one, i would definetely recommend it if you have £19,000 or around that to spend on a car.

Personally I wouldn't bother, the car has pretty simple, clean lines and I don't think I've ever seen a kit on one. It would look great with a nice set of rims & lowered (especially in a darker colour)

I'm with you John. They're a good looking car and a very nice to drive. I wouldn't want to ruin/devalue one by messing about with it.

2003 Mini One, Chili Red and with so many options I can't remember them all, and a 1997 Rover 216 SLi in Nightfire Red. Yes, I like red cars.

Yep its a Commodore, i think though we know that shape as a Vauxhall Senator/Carlton. Think early/mid 90's big police car.

Yeah its a Holden.


The design was based of the opel at the time i think (car is a 93 model) but even seeing the opels in pictures, you can tell there isn't much difference.


Even our early commodores like early 80s, look identicle to an opel coupe i saw a pic of.

Yeah, Opel and Vauxhall are the same thing really, plus Holden. All owned by General motors, and even today they all share many different cars rebadged as Vauxhall, Opel, Holden.

I have certainly seen the old 80's Commodores sharing the same body shape as a Vauxhall/Opel Carlton. Stealthy's model looks like a Vauxhall Senator though, which was a slightly bigger version of our Carlton, with the added rear quarter window.

Vauxhall Senator

Vauxhall Carlton/Lotus Carlton a car i would really like to own, and its the former fastest Vauxhall saloon we have ever had here in Blightly, that was untill Vauxhall start to bring the Monaro replacement in, which incidently is a rebadged Commodore HSV.

haha, go off topic!


But yeah, that Vaxhaul is pretty hot.

The doors on that Senator are the same as mine, but it looks more like the model after mine, with a refined front and rear (still not the same, but closer than my car)

Just a side note, Senator is a name of one of the Top HSVs also, probably where most of their model names come from.

Mmm i'd love one of those new Commodore/Monaro XVR8's

Probably will be a second hand bargain (taking running costs out of the equation) in a couple of years time?

Bought an ex demo Clio 197 recently and still getting used to it.

It's a strange beast in that it feels quite big inside and other cars look very low by comparison when you pass them.

Nice and smooth when pottering about but it certainly goes when put foot down, almost don't realise the speed i'm going.

My previous car made a right racket all the way up the rev range and the Clio is quiet by comparison.

It absolutely loves A and B roads and the grip is very good, hardly any body roll.
