Dodgey drive?? WTF wouldn't you hit the skids to if someone turned across your path? i couldn't swerve to the right because there was a car behind the cab, couldn't go to the left cos thats where he was headed, i only had one option, immitate ABS with my foot on the brakes and hope like **** i didn't hit him.
Anyway...
Holden Cruze = Suzuki Ignis
To clarify this:
Mazda is owned by Jaguar which is in turn owned by Ford.
Dont laugh though, Nissan is owned by Renault and apart from their F1 engines, they make crap cars.
Ford have the biggest Car Industry Market share in the world, with GM close behind.
Ford outright own, or majority of:
Lincoln
Mercury
Mazda
Volvo
Jaguar
Land Rover
Aston Martin
If the new Mazda RX8 doesn't meet expected sales, Ford will be putting a stop to the Rotary engine (or at least, a big partion of the budget)
Ford are also in more Racing Championships then any other car manufacturer in the world.

Renault once had the best Formula 1 engine, but due to other comitments they pulled out of the F1 scene. How ever, this is their first year back and The Benneton F1 team that uses the Reno engine is going better then they have for quite a while.
They also make great cars. But just not the kind you'd see a 19yr old P Plater drive...
I don't think the majority of you VL drivers realise there's more then straight line speed - which is just about all a VL is.
Mate I can appreciate acrs from all over the world for what they are. Ok so having never driven a Renault it might seem unfair for me to judge them but they dont do anything special with their cars to make them stand out for something that is supposed to be a bit exotic.
PS - I DO realise there is more than straight line speed in case that was headed my way.

is that true about ford owning mazda or did they once upon a time own it or something???
They're giving you sh.it because they're older then you and still driving some wreck of a V6, while you're boosting past them in your RX3.
There's nothing better then brother rivalry. My car beats my brothers, but my brother bike beats mine.
i'm his brother
he is a little homo, i drive a VR, but i know it wont go fast so i'm not going bother with it...
which is why i have to make up my mind about something...
a vl turbo
a vl with a 355 stroker
or
a datsun 1600 with a vl turbo driveline (if i could ever make it work)
and i only hang **** on him because he really doesnt like ford, and he is 14, and if he pisses me off, i'll pound the **** out of him
