    I drive neither a van or truck so I don't know who that was aimed at.

    Didn't refer to the Chav comment though did you

    I drive to work in my GT. I wear a suit

    Only the older ones are considered "chav". Can a chav afford a £16k+ brand new Premier? I don't think so. All older hot-hatches are considered to be chav these days

    We had a poll regarding rep-mobiles anyway... the CTR lost, even with your editing inputs

    Well I still see a lot of rep's in them

    I agree, and prefer the face lift version.

    As I say, a person wearing a suit in a Type-R, doth not a rep make. Reps are usually lazy people, who cannot be arsed driving on motorways all day in a car that a) is s**t in traffic thanks to a lightweight drivetrain and b) has too many short gears with little torque in-between them!!

    I can only imagine that in your simplicity, you wind the window down at the traffic lights next to them, and ask what it is they do for a living?



    Now let that be the end of it, Puntogirl. I say "Puntogirl" because I see many women driving Punto's, thus it must be a girls car, surely?

    You are only jealous because you can't drive your because you blew it up

    I say rep as a generic term for people who drive around in suits all day.

    I'd go for the CTR mate, its a two year old car, your GT is coming on for ten years old.
