Well i've put my order in for xmas for one off the new GT40s now I did like that well smart :drool::drool:

Thought the end bit off the program was amazing didn't think it would blow a car to bits like that probably the best thing for a Mondeo though!

Anyone like the Skoda Fabia? It completely wasted the mini cooper! :thumbsup:

Its 130bhp TDI. I know people who have spent £500 on a software change and have an instant 190bhp on tap......Then they easily keep up with 95% of cars on the road to

I saw a lad who took on a type R civic at Santa pod in his Fabia and beat it by a couple of car lengths! :D (it was only 3 weeks old when a company called REVO put a Golf MKIV programme on it to give 192bhp)

Oh and if i had a bit more cash i would be driving one instead of my Yaris today :thumbsup:

well heres something to consider:

The mini starts at £12,100 on the road...

The Skoda is from £11,990 on the road...

So, I'd say its a fair comparison, since they are almost identical prices...

The cooper S is from £15,180!

(which incidently is a grand more than the 180bhp octaiva Vrs!)
