    I would call that uber-cool. In Wiltshire.

      Just been looking at a Subaru Forester XT, it looks a bit sedate and boring but it does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds... enough to embarrass the barryboys at the lights.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        i was next to an TDi Audi A3 this morning, he thought he was going to burn me at the lights so he takes the right lane. I was 3 car lengths away before he was off the line. It never ceases to amase me how little people know about the (lack of) performance of their car.
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            The Subaru Forester has long been the car of choice of the aristocratic landed classes.

              Stands to reason if you’ve got lots of land and need to get about quickly, not for me then.

                I thought everyone grew out of this kind of behaviour after 17?

                  Have you actually had one?
                  For a cheapish, fun, fast, long distance commute the Mazda 6 MPS is well nigh on perfect, according to mate who's had one from new for 2 years. He does about 11k miles a year.
                  I drove it and thought it was very good: comfortable, fast, nice cabin - and no doubt very reliable.
                  Know what you mean about the rear lights though - and it's a bit bland to look at (which may be no bad thing in London).

                    Really? why do 99% of people in the south east do it then? I don't spin the wheels or rev the engine
