What shops would people like to see put in the old ATS tyre & exhaust centre in Thatcham Broadway that's supposedly going to be redeveloped into 3 shops and 13 flats?!

Automotive tuning is no longer about BHP and MPH. Now it's more about MPG with gas at over £6.50 per gallon and amid the growing menace of climate change.

I still get 50mpg and my car is quicker than an R32. I have a 1.9 engine... there is a replacement for displacement, it's called forced induction!

QUOTE (Exhausted @ Mar 15 2013, 06:15 PM) At the end of the day, it's still a Golf with the comfort level of a skateboard and tyres that must wear out for a pastime. 50mpg, not the way you suggest you drive it. And sorry what exactly is wrong with a Golf? Further to that; have you ever been in my car? No, so I offer you this delicious cup of steaming cup of something that's probably censored. You are making assumptions and I'm just laughing away at you, because you have no idea about anything on this subject at all. (much like me on anything council related). You clearly drive a Hyundai. QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Mar 15 2013, 07:26 PM) Out right performance is only one of several factors. Not that I think the adage is strictly true anyway! Oh, no that's true - But a larger displacement engine is normally Heavier (thus negatively effecting handling) More expensive to run (Fuel and road tax) More expensive to maintain (eg if something goes wrong). And excuse my lack of understand of English (I was originally born as a boy from Reading) but adage means....? (I refuse to Google words). -------------------- :p
