Lexx Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I wasnt going to admit to this, but I need to know what was going on! Driving through town the other day, I was following an old school Saxo. I was a little confused as it had French Plates on, but was a RHD model. Then noticed a PistonHeads sticker in the rear window. Ah I thought, he probs go to Le Mans, and its his effort to get the rozzers over there to leave him alone. So we pootles through the traffic to the edge of town. As you leave town, the road goes dual carriage way, and national speed limit up a hill. So, I comes round the roundabout behind him, and he pulls into the outside lane and hoofs it. "I'll have you" I think to myself, you chavvy ****er And there was error #1 I was in 2nd, proving the Zeds 0-60 time, and I could only just keep pace with him! WTF was he running under that bonnet!?!?! I was had by a Saxo! Got to the end of the road where I turn off for my estate and he gave me a quick wave and smile. So I dont totally hate him. So there is my confession. A Saxo beat me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Happy with your £30k now ? Could of bought a saxo and spent £29k on booze for next two years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 ha ha they do surprise people but a turbo/charger conversion is not getting uncommon on these and it pushes them into the 225 to 250 bhp on on a car weighing 950kg its makes for quite a little weapon. I had a 160bhp pug 106 and that used to surprise (annoy) many people in their posh sports cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 You will have made his day! But at the end of the day he was still in a saxo - know which one i'd rather be seen in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Be safe in the knowledge that a Saxo is still a Saxo and has the aesthetics of of cat urine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Had the same with a 2.0 Turbo Corsa - sometimes you come across a proper stealth weapon. No shame in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
