smiffy 99 Report post Posted August 4, 2012 What's the point of a diesel convertible? Saw a jtdm spider the other day also a Audi A4 convertible!!! Why do people like to listen to a bag of spanners being thrown around. I tell you what I will do........ For being such an arsehole about crappy shitty diesels I will make a recording of the GTA going through a tunnel and going through the gears and burn some CDs for you to play while driving around in your tractors. See I can be nice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kev Bassett 1 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Nah I'd prefer a soundtrack Of a 2.4 JTD 150 with a few mods.... Also GTA's are for show offs and people with teeny testies! Edited August 5, 2012 by Kev Bassett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sphinx 7 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 Smiffy, can you burn a soundtrack for me? My exhaust is fucked and makes a worse noise than a diesel tractor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sphinx 7 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 Bah, just wait for the twin turbo 2.0 JTDm that they are fitting to the Insignia VXR, no doubt will be fitted to the new Gulia... Giulia will have it's own engine range...or rather, Alfa will by the time the Giulia comes out. Sergio has spoken, and apparently no more Fiat engines with Alfa badges.

Morgan 46 Report post Posted September 16, 2012 If you do serious mileages, then a DERV will pay dividends. I have a 100 mile-a-day commute, which I do in a diesel car that returns 60mpg when I'm not paying attention to fuel economy, and 70mpg when driving like a vicar transporting Fabergé eggs over Belgian pavé. A small-capacity petrol engine makes bugger-all sense for me, as all my miles are on the motorway, where a piss-weak petrol engine suffers on the hills.

Guest Tony156 Report post Posted September 16, 2012 Proves a point!!! diesels are shit and slow that even scooters are slip streaming them Diesel drivers should be shot, revived, run over, shot and then made to listen to Lady Gaga *(I use the term loosely)* songs, until their ears bleed..... End of! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morgan 46 Report post Posted September 18, 2012 I was only getting 40mpg(ish) from a 1.2 petrol Fiat 500, recently. In fairness, it was mainly because I spent all my time wringing its neck to extract even a modicum of performance. PS: For those who think I'm a devil-fuel lover, if I didn't have a 100-mile daily commute, I'd be driving something with lots of cylinders that runs on petrol... Like I used to.

Kev Bassett 1 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 well I have a new car after being single.... just need someone to jump my pole now... anyway I purchased a Fiat Marea 2.4 JTD 130 HLX Weekend, pics to be posted asap. she needs some work like new flywheel (£425 EACH) and has a notchy 2nd gear and front suspension needs looking into. But apart from that she does 53mpg and puts other cars to shame. and the sound of the 5 pot JTD when on full power... drools 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
