Of course, you know the difference between Lotus38 and a Polo mint don't you?
People like Polos.

So, in the case of the OP:

In the above example:
X = Polo

Wrong algebra answer:
Lotus38>w (wan**r)
Therefore > wan**r = Stimpy (
http://www.lamborghini-talk.com/vbforum ... rs-139489/) so for those who want to continue being entertained follow Stimpy and see if he is boasting about having more money than the rest of the world who haven't worked as hard as he has

Maybe Stimpy/Lotus38 or whatever was right about the ladies! When I click on that link, indispersed amongst all the chatter is a never ending pastiche of adverts for Russian, Ukraine, Thai, and other Asian women and you certainly don't get that on the LEC!!!

Best handling FWD car? Well coupe, anyway..
S version - flatter torque curve than the 'nutter' R version
160 b.h.p. in a 1200 kg. Car. Goes well!

This would be my choice as the best handling front wheel drive car
Beautifully balanced and compliant and as with most great cars not too much power to overwhelm the chassis.
Unfortunately not fast enough to outrun the tin worm

Good call. I like the idea of a lower powered car - I ran a 1043c.c. Polo 'breadvam' as my main driver for a couple of years (saving money whilst my sons learnt to drive) It was a hoot!

GT86? Now that IS ugly. Way outside my NZD 5,000 budget in any case.

Not sure how many BTCC Team Championships the GT86 has?

I second that; well inside my Top Ten classic cars. How about a day trip from the Isle of Wight to see
this one?
