If you want to get pedantic Cush, capital letters are not a form of punctuation. They're used with Proper Nouns, at the start of a sentence or following the full stop, which is a punctuation mark. Try using them, they're fun :wink:
Unfortunately, bad grammar, lack of punctuation, atrocious spelling and disregard for the much maligned apostrophe seem to be rife on this forum.
Do Minis attract the semi-literate and grammatically challenged?

I figured out how to beat a V6 commodore. Make it an even race, take off two plug leads to make his V6 into a V4, or better yet have 3 cylinders going on one side and one on the other. :D Then race. If you don't win then, well, your car sucks.

I agree with some of the earlier posts, straight lines really aren't all that fun, personally I would love to do this a lot more that a 11 sec 1/4 mile. I think I need better brakes though :lol:
I hope some members of this forum have a second car as most hooning laws now allow the permanent or temporary confiscation of the offending car. Not to mention how cool it would be to have to call your mates to come and pick you up all the time. :oops: Not to mention killing someone. :cry:
Just my 2c.

You cant expect a car designed for the nurses of the home counties to be as quick as a lamborghini no matter what you through under the bonnet.

Why are people so obsessed with making their Midlands-made Sainsbury trolley faster than the work of Sant'Agata Bolognese?

How did we go from a commodore to a lamborghini? :? :lol:

Whilst we are this wavelength, I've been thinking of converting my mini into 6 seater so that it can carry more people than a commodore, and yet be more fuel efficient. Has anybody ever tried this? :)

Did you watch Top Gear last night, a humble Astra diesel saw off a S/H Lamborghini Uracco on the track, as well as a 308GT Ferrari and a Maserati Merak. :lol: 8) :P
So some Lambos are not that fast... :lol:

Hmm, after seeing that, I reckon I'll start saving my 10 grand! (In UK pounds...bugger.)

The ferrari was the best, it only had electric dodgyness....LOL oh yeah and the ability to consume lots of fuel.
