Where do I start, itâ??s not the pinnacle of designing nor is it the fastest car. But never the less itâ??s a car whom many are passionate about. But I end up asking myself whatâ??s all the commotion about it? Itâ??s only a 1.3 turbo, okay so fuel economy might be one and depending on your situation insurance perhaps is inexpensive. Maybe even the fact that it has a turbo with such a little engine makes it appealing. But in truth, thereâ??s some air of mystery that surrounds these cars, and I want to get to the bottom of it. Why you ask? Thereâ??s so much passion that engulfs theses cars yet itâ??s barely a Ferrari or a vintage Aston Martin DB5. I really want to get down beneath the layers that cover these cars. And so do my superiors who are also egger to find out.... and in true James Bond style give me an assignment, which I acknowledge with open arms. So how should I go about getting in the clan? Couple of suggestions cross my mind, do I go undercover and emerge in with the mob of owners, purchase one? Well the best solution I came up with is to get out and drive one of these rebels. But how hard is that going to be getting hold of one hmm... Itâ??s about 10.45 p.m. and Iâ??m getting ready to watch sexcetra, which gets interrupted. I get a phone call from a Glanza owner, with precise location details and time to meet up. Eventually I turn up at an abandoned factory; my pulse is racing quite a bit. Iâ??m left wondering if Iâ??m going to be another stab victim like those others lately or is it going to end up pleasantly well. Suddenly Iâ??m thrilled, even traumatized to a certain degree by the noises of those deafening exhausts and headlights hauling my way. I decide itâ??s a smart idea to lock the doors and wind the window down for an appropriate no contact chat. Surprisingly a short bloke steps out accompanied with two tall but somewhat stocky blokes and approach my car. The conversation starts with the urban word â??â??Yoâ??â?? guess that means â??â??helloâ??â?? in the ordinary world. We start talking, once Iâ??ve developed a sociable atmosphere and get courageous enough, taking into account sense a stabbing may not be imminent, I step out. I commence my integration around the car. I struggle to prevent myself from calling it a pretty car. But honestly it is reasonably pretty, and minor cosmetic modifications can make it look like a right brute. For some reason I begin comparing it to the Toyota Supra, despite many people insisting to me the Celica is its older sister. Yes I refer to cars as women, frankly whoâ??d want to sit inside a man and drive them about all day long? And nope I donâ??t swing that way either! For those who do youâ??re more than welcome to call it Jeffery or whatever tickles your fancy. Back to the rebel, now from a cosmetic point of view taking its age in account itâ??s fairly decent. As well as the fact that modifications are easily to come across or so Iâ??m told by the small bloke. I wouldnâ??t have speculated the car was a 1.3 turbo to be truthful it sounded more like a 1.6 turbo with the dump-valve! Hmm, so the mystery is starting to unwrap itself. On to the interior note, I wasnâ??t expecting full leather, heated seats etc. But damn its basic, my son could get his crayola crayons out and craft a better design to sit in. It could get quite depressing to some, but I did come here in a SL55. Putting that aside you really need to have an insight to the history of its development the car was never made for luxury function therefore, there was none specified. Thatâ??s quite a common trend in the Japanese market. But later models did consist of luxuries such as air con, abs, power steering, electric windows etc. So the exterior and interior have been covered. Now the only thing left is how this baby drives! So I approach the short bloke once more and ask him if I could take it for a spin...He happily said â??â??no.â??â?? But after some persuasion I managed to get some time driving it, while the guys built a â??â??joint.â??â?? Whatever may that be? First impressions count and this certainly left a stain. Itâ??s quite a rapid car I knew it was light weight, but it picks up speed fast and the dump-valve well that really caught my attention. Itâ??s in all honesty a great city car without a doubt, even a track car with some handling adjustments. The seats are defiantly a problem though, my arse felt like I had been sitting on a bouncy castle! But that most likely down to the suspension set up and that can always be fixed. All in all, it wasnâ??t the mystery that surround the car it â??â??wasâ??â?? the rarity which unfortunately is dying as the popularity of the car increases. The passion will always be there am sure of it; itâ??s a great little car for beginner drivers or Japanese enthusiasts. Itâ??ll never let you down; the Japaneseâ??s engines are always built solid as well as parts are quite reasonable. I always like to spend some cash improving my cars, itâ??s essential even if I had a Ferrari Iâ??d do the same. But this is definitely an excellent candidate, if youâ??re looking for a Japanese car or not donâ??t pass a chance before you drive one. All I can say is Iâ??ll be a part of the growing mob extremely soon. ------------------------------------------------------------- Valentino R

Yeah there fast, anyways! :| has someone got some info to help me! LOL I really need it sparky you really post everywhere LOL!

Theses scammers really need to get some sort of legitimate job, as well as an education if they havenâ??t already. Theses petty low life quick money making pricks really piss me off! While the people who actually work hard for a living end up losing our money to their â??â??2 minute ideasâ??â??. ---------------------------------------- Yeah Marcus, thatâ??s a great idea. They do a similar thing over at puregrime forum, the more post you post the more places you can access, download etc. Good idea takes the piss though! Valentino R

Yeah, that was a good race and Hamilton really showed why he is rated so superior to the other racers. To all his fans and haters, I really donâ??t like the fact that people use racist terms such because he is better than their countryman in the F1 races. Good one Hamilton I really hope he wins it all!

Experience wise I have around about 100 hours, may be little less on various karts mainly the easy kart though. I think am ready, I wouldnâ??t mind joining a team or anything like that just need to find some information 1st. Thanks for your help

Hey, Just wondering if anyone does any Go-Karting on the forum? If so Iâ??d just like some information on it. Mainly information regarding - how to get into it, what league etc to enter, kart to buy and the basic set up stuff. Another thing that would help me if you go recommend a forum with this information, as am very eager to get into it. Thanks Valentino

Yeah I understand, the problem but i haven't got a clue to be honest am sure someone on here does easily able to help you! sorry!

Easy, Thats lookin' really nice! Hopefully it was worth the effort!

I just read what I believe you ''wrote'' it, it was great it was a very in-depth article covering many of the features really improved my knowledge of the model! Thank you!!

Dam, that really takes the piss. I hate theses pathetic scumbags, am sure youâ??ll be able to get your money back, but it does really take the piss. My dad had around £15,000 that had been taken out of his account. But he got it back and the scumbags got caught as well as compensation was paid from the criminal side and Bank Company! Long process though, it really should be done quicker. All the best!

Hey thanks for the info and yeah a fresh look is really needed will post soon!

That is so ture, I've got family up there aswell!

What’s up, ladies and lads As a few of you may know am kind of a ''journalist'' in the making process... as my previous post was related to a review I had done. I’ve partly completed the Glanza review and the only thing holding me from posting it is due to the original spec details of the model onwards of 1996. The information I’ve found has been varied, I’d like it for you guys just to help me on this. Please if anyone knows the precise details of the model spec I’d appreciate it. Thank you! Am also very drunk! Have a good day and good bye!

Itâ??s no problem, bluebear. Am pleased you like the review, yeah itâ??s short mainly due to SEAT not releasing any engine spec data to my knowledge, because it is a only a concept. I tried to get the reader involved and wanting them to create this rather then slapping spec down! Trying some other ways for the reader! Thanks P.S! The Glanza Review Completed! Will post later today

dam thats nice! wouldn't mind having my eyes on that while am driving...Of course the road as well!

I've started, the review lads ill post it soon

Enzo just wondering, were have the reviews of the starlets been placed? I'd like to read them

Yeah thats great! The add is valentino.rattan@live.com - its hotmail don't worry its there ''new'' thing any of you other guys and ladies are more then welcome to add me thanks! look forward from hearing from you

Thanks Sparky! I just wondering would you guys/ladies like to see a Starlet review? if i was to create one later on today if i get some time...

Yeah youâ??re right, thanks for noticing that. I appreciate it! Criticism & corrections always welcome. Enzo - I somewhat get what you what me to do if you like you can add me on msn? If you have an account and we could get the ball rolling from there!

;) Oh! I really thought there was someone on here called Jezza, yeah good ole Jeremy Clarkson. He is one unique reviewer almost certainly the best in my opinion. Enzo, that would be great I wouldnâ??t mind writing some reviews for the forum at all. What did you have in mind?

Thanks for the compliment and thanks for reading it too, itâ??s much appreciated. Iâ??ve contacted Mark Guest from modifying guruâ??s Max Power with various articles and am in general waiting for a reply. I havenâ??t applied for any apprenticeships, partly because Iâ??m completing my A-levels. I donâ??t write for anyone at the moment, but thanks for the idea about the local paper! I never really thought about that itâ??s something I should be looking into defiantly. Is ''Jezza'' still around on the forum? Iâ??d love to read a few his reviews. To Others - Please Read - Its Much Appreciated! ;)

Okay, so basically I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks and am sure you guys haven’t missed me! But I was just wondering...is anyone here a car review journalist? I’ve been writing reviews for cars as well as gadgets for quite a long time. Since I was about 14 years old and wanted to get the ball rolling. Getting recognised is my main goal and I was just wondering if anyone on the forum is a journalist? Below - Is my quick review of the SportCoupé Bocanegra - Tell me what you think be honest thats the only way i can improve! What a concept! Okay it’s not the most outrageous out there, but the simpler approach gives us mere mortals some kind of faith they’ll produce this beauty. The features I’d like to see if they do manufacture this. To begin with, on the exterior note they definitely need to keep those lights! They challenge you for a scrap every time you have a glimpse at them. Imagine parking this car, the cars would literally leap out the way for it, GREAT parking for days, and for those pesky burglars they wouldn’t dare touch it with a barge pole! The outlines of the car are great and defiantly are becoming a SEAT trend. But what truly attracts me to this car is the interior, I worship those seats and the minimalist dash really makes it feel special the black luxurious piano effect is brilliant, we really don’t need those pilot functions thank you very much. The only thing that would let this baby down is, if the engineers make it sound like a wet fart, let’s cross our fingers and hope it also sounds like a demon and goes like a bat out of hell. A true villain’s car, now let’s just hope to see it rolling off the production line as close to the concept as possible. A message to SEAT don’t let them accountants get in the way, yeah so what if it’ll cost a few pounds over budget! It’ll seriously step SEAT’s game to a whole new level. Dare I say it? If production happens it’ll be better looking than the Astra VRX coupe! Valentino Rattan!

The red ones are unquestionably a bold statement I think thatâ??s why a lot people on here fancy them as well as being a true â??â??japâ??â?? style. I find the blue ones more appealing though, probably because most people around near me have black starlets with those red alloys. They do look nice, but the style as been rinsed maybe thatâ??s just in my area. Be unique go for the blue! ;)

Unmistakably the finest program to ever hit our TV sets! I want to see more I canâ??t wait another week! Arghh its going to be one of the best seasons yet! Could watch it all day long
