Seat or MG ? Depends whether you like driving or being driven...

**tfboy** · 05-01-2004, 14:48

Just to prove a VAG car can be more fun than a MG...
clicky

Definately better "pulling" power with the Seat, i have to say! Seems to handle pretty hot too!

Dunno about anyone else, but i think that ad sucks

*Edit*..

Just an afterthought, but i was surprised to see that the Sportier Ibizas & Leons are not the first Seats to come with a blower....

Interesting to see that the MG driver grabs his knob after the lights turn green....

***DGW*** · 05-01-2004, 15:41

He'd dropped his comb on the floor?

redbaron · 05-01-2004, 16:03

it does however prove that red cars are faster than boxy white ones... that look a little tatty.... :detective

what do you think Ian?

Tavia4x4 · 05-01-2004, 16:04

Oh I don't think it looks that tatty? Granted it would be in better condition if you could keep on the road, but you got away very lightly considering.

EDIT: Just seen the ad - proves that the bloke in the family looking white motor will always pull while the owner of the flash red vehicle is spinning his tyres - clearly the only rubber he'll be burning this year.

I agree with the red car bit, but i'd go for the bird and SEAT?? panda combo over the MG (maybe not a vRS) anytime especially if she looked like that. If she looked like vanessa feltz, then i'd be 100% behind you.

***DGW*** · 05-01-2004, 16:33

I did a quick Google search for Vanessa Feltz and made the mistake of opening the third hit listed. Add me to the back of the queue - as long as it puts me after everyone else on this planet (and Briskoda)!

It's only that someone seems to like you (two green reputation squares???)

Faye · 05-01-2004, 16:49

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a *FIAT* Panda? When did SEAT start making FIATs? Did FIAT sell them the design? or has it been Photoshopped?

Before SEAT was brought by VAG, it was part of FIAT. So it must have been building them under liscence or importing them for the the spanish market and placed below the Arosa as a bargain bucket car. (FIAT have only just stopped making the original Panda at the end of 2003)

I think they are a reward for long service and good conduct - a bit like the LS&GCM (aka Long Service & Good Conduct Medal) awarded by the military - rather than having anything to do with popularity in my particular case.

Well you're obviously more popular than me, but i'm used to it from the abuse i get from work for owning a Skoda (even though they think it's great)

SEAT and FIAT shared the design.. altho the SEAT version was called the marbella.

I suppose. I can't say much about the lovely Dynamic Blue as there is a non-4x4 Dynamic Blue Octavia sitting in my drive at the moment (not mine thankfully)

Either that or he has half of the registered users in his name and give himself the points, let alone the 5000 posts.

The latter point is incorrect to the best of my knowledge, and I'm not going to argue the other two!

PS 4999 posts, Jeff, since I am standing still at the moment by legal trickery.

**roo** · 05-01-2004, 17:15

Denis, what happens when you go above 4999 posts, as you have had that now for a while and still been posting. Is this a bug in the system, or another moderators scam???

ps saw the ps after posting this. so it's the scam then!!!!!

**roo** · 05-01-2004, 17:23

Denis' posts:going down!! 4998th floor: lingerie and dynamic blue paint.
