Lol thought it might the thing about having a loud colour car is its usually watched closely by the police for instance if u drive a corsa in a 30 zone at 40 no one notices but if a fancy car does that they will notice simply because they expect it from fast cars so they tend to notice so in short u have to be very careful. Ps. Inconspicuous cars can slip away if they do notice u and turn around u can hide lol.

Yup, England is VERY cautious, security everywhere. when i was bout 9 we went on holiday and everyone apart from me and my dad were ill so he was trying to get there asap. and then on a busy bridge ( when he was going over by 10 mph in his Omega) and he got a ticket! America has best chases but dunno bout Aussie cause ive never been there and only police thing ive seen is Lewis Hamilton boy racing thing. And fair anough bout the fiesta Madster Madster

Mad, no, our chases here are crap. It's all too bunny-hugging, don't-hurt-the-bad-guy bullshit. So you can't do anything to them. All the police can do is just drive behind them. They aren't allowed to do anything else. And if the moron crashes, and especially if he hurts or kills someone, the police and whole chase is then investigated to see if it was their fault. There are no stingers, the police aren't allowed to touch the car, or come near it. And they are definately not allowed to shoot anything. I tell you, the laws here drive me up the wall.
And yes, speed tickets here have got more and more crazy. It used to be a 5km/h allowance with speed cameras and hand-held cameras to allow for mistakes in your speedo or the camera. Now they'll get you for 1km/h over. No joke. It's all money making, revenue raising. It's not about saving lives.
But as far as cars being more noticable, our performance Ford (Falcon) and Holden (Commodore) sedans and utes come with factory loud paint, bodykits, big wheels. So they're all over the place. We have shows for modified cars, but you don't see them on the road much. Just the usual boys in Skylines.
Saw a Supra the other day with the most awesome paint i've ever seen. It was like snakeskin, in various shades from black to mid red. Beautiful.

from cars on pictures FOCUS no questioning about it . Now to help u a bit with your struggle of getting new car heres something out of my own struggle of acquiring a new car , so heres some of my top choices from which I'm deciding : www.avto.net/_AVTO/ad.asp?ID=3333506&show=1211hp 4wd nice for youngsters due to its four wheel drive ,price 7500/6.194,25(only reason i proly wont be buying this one is because im to told for it,but theres still that young at heart/nostalgia for when i was a youngster feeling which made this car to get so far on my list) if your a bit more experienced driver with really faster car and/or are a father with kids family .... etc and you don't want all charade up car as impreza but still want to keep the power heres some European answer for the V8 lovers (my no1/2 pick, only consumption is against it) www.avto.net/_AVTO/ad.asp?ID=3740484&show=1m62b35 v8 engine inside means no further words needed, price 4500/3.716,55 and other no1/2 pick ,WARNING this one screams danger and its also for V8 lowers www.avto.net/_AVTO/ad.asp?ID=3799547&show=1I'm speechless , wife forbided me this one price 6.868/5.672,28 this one is marked as secret entry because of .. you'll see when u check it let it be a surprise plus it being an old timer makes up for 5k engine when it comes to insurance /consumption wages even my wife is for this one due to luxury of it regardless of 5k engine but you proly wont be for it because well lets say the reasons why i wont be buying impreza i guess www.avto.net/_AVTO/ad.asp?ID=3848357&show=1price 5600/4.625,04 this list of mine is long, me and missus are working on it for couple of months now really taking the time for it and i mean lots of cars with all sorts of cars these where just the ones that come first on my mind when i start thinking about it and out of them id say the impreza is the one that u might like others not so much plus I'm choosing from cars up to 10k euros(8.259,00£) tops so i ask how much money you are choosing from perhaps i could find cars on the list which would totally make you reconsider your choices since theres always that one car I haven't thoth of feeling just like i have right ..lol (prices€/£) Mr.M

Thats actually a gd car stig i had not thought of it will have to look into it more. Those are some good car i have considered the skobby but its a bit too loud for me, and the bmw is great i was gonna get one but the mileage on any of them is way over 100,000 miles lancier i dont really like the shape of that one and the merc well they dont have a great rep in england lol. Ps. What i really want is an evo but insurance laugh at me when i ask about it

Good choice, besides being SEAT, it will most likely give you more bang for your buck....and insurance could be lower too than for some more popular cars. Jussi

I thought you had a spelling mistake there, and you were going for a Supra! To which i would have said 'best idea yet mate!' But since it's the SEAT, i'll stick to the 'if you don't have anything nice to say...' rule

Vauxhaul Astra? Vauxhall Astra VXR? VW Polo? ( All either 08' 09' or '10 ) They all seem to be good cars, just some more ideas... Madster
