    my recently purchased daily drive

    i sold the 147 gta, it was a bit too much to run on a daily basis, with the gta getting 15mpg and the maserati getting 10mpg i seemed to be spending more than i wanted on just petrol and i sold it to make some money

    so i went on the look out for a new daily drive, had to be cool, fun but diesel! really like this car, it is standard but it is quick! its the 2.4 jtdm 20v, 200bhp (remapping/de-dpf takes them to 260! tempting) but atm im loving it that said im about to blank off the egr valve, that should make it a little more responsive.

    Beau, i just had a flash back of you joining PSC owning a Punto before you had a licence... Pretty sure it was you

    If it wasn't, soz, but if it was, look at you now, Maserati's and Alfa's, go on lad!

    Looks a nice ride! Such a fugly rear end to them though!!!

    Was the GTA really getting 15mpg Beau? That just some quick estimate or the car telling you that?

    Haha! My memory's not as ruined as i thought then

    I'm a fan of them big bootayyyys! Can't fault any part of the design on that car, its flipping lush.

    Obviously a cheeky 30mm drop will give it some stance, but why fuk with it!

    Lets see some interior pics tho!

    the in car computer thingie was saying 15mpg, and people say they over read... either way, i did seem to be putting pretty much the same in the gta as the maserati, and i worked that out properly as me averaging 10.2

    gtv cup 001 has just come up for sale! £10,000 though.

    indeed! lol seems crazy that i joined this forum almost 9 years ago though !

    i really love what it looks like, it really does get quite a few looks out on the road !

    would love to lower it!, but it wont happen, i only buy/spend on cars an amount i know i can sell it on for profit, and lowering wouldnt help re-sale
