I hate them, a vile cheap and nasty vauxhall of the worst kind fitted with a 1950s lorry block
no thanks
Staggering ignorance on display thereno thanks
"Cheap" - I don't think £48k was cheap back in 1990
"Nasty Vauxhall" - You do realise it has Type allocation (Type 104) which officially makes it a Lotus
"1950's Lorry Block" - Despite being told before this hedgehog idiot keeps posting the utter drivel that the block originates from a 1950's lorry and it is simply not even remotely true.

cheap - the materials its made from, i.e. the trim made from recycled plastics, £300's worth of car before it was modified
its registered lotus, so what, many Audi RS's are registered quattro gmbh. It does not change the fact that the carlton was a budget rep wagon and particularly nasty one at that. LOLtus made it go fast, so now its a nasty budget rep wagon with a boy racer body kit that went fast.

Or that over a decade later it would still worry 99% of most fast cars available. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/classiccars/10...
'The faster you go, the better it gets, feeling so wonderfully long-legged that you could drive it all day. Then at lower speeds it’s a docile as you like, only that long-throw gearchange giving away the car’s age. It’s also slightly unwilling to pull top gear at less than 50mph, but you can forgive it that as the engine is still tractable.'
Seems like you're in a room all by yourself?

No place in the "hedgehog" world for a balance opinion or constructive reasoned discussion unfortunately. Shame really cos I like a reasonable debate as I'm not so blinkered that I can't have my opinions changed by good discussion from another point of view.

I haven't driven one and, undoubtedly, it'd be faster than most Civics or Citroens (unless bends were involved), but I wouldn't want one, personally.
Although, I wouldn't say I hate it. Really, it just doesn't even figure on my radar.
