Pfft, even the "lowly" polo 1.2 Turbo has more than enough go and capability to well exceed the limit but since when is that a reason for NOT buying a car?

There are 2 kinds of car people, those that don't give a **** (aka A to B) and people that love them.

Sorry I don't want a Ferrari 458 Italia cos I won't be able to do 200km/h. Pfft whatever :rolleyes:, I'd sell my left nut for one, hell why not both. Not like there is room for baby seats anyway.

I'd have a Veyron Super Sport but driving around everywhere in 2nd gear would be irritating. I'd rather just have the race track and a limitless supply of tyres :D

As potentially 'irresponsible' as this may sound - I have always gone to great pains (esp. to my wife :P) to explain there is a vast difference between what you are 'allowed' to do and what you 'can' do.

Not that I am at all advocating flouting our fair and responsible road rules in any way.

Exactly, and the fact that people crap on like they mean otherwise, is just awesome.

"Hi, I like high performance vehicles - as long as I have them in my possession otherwise they are ****e"

Dont be a lying to yourself, and don't be a hater!

And yes I'd take a Carrera 4S in a heartbeat, even If I can only do 110km/h in it :)

But I believe I will never own one of those!
