No, I'm bashing 130 in a 1/4ml. My M3 (390-odd BHP) did a mid-12's pass at 137mph, and that's a £55000 (new) car WITH mods. A Kia wouldn't do a quarter that fast, no matter what Kia it was.

137mph is an awfully high trap speed for a mid 12 pass.

I know, my start and RT were awful. Was having traction problems at the time. I'll root out the slip if you want :D

My dad recently put in an order for a Ford Territory Turbo Ghia. Unfortunately the car's being delivered in 2 weeks time and since I'm at uni, it's impossible for me to get a pic of it.

w00t!! Our first car with a turbo! (8

Air cooled rear 6-cylinder boxer engine. One of the first cars to have a turbocharger as a factory option. :)

Yeah he sold both of them and picked up a Volvo 240 and then sold that for a Pathfinder before selling that for his Hyundai. It was because his dad owned a garage when he was a kid so he had access to everything he needed to work on his cars. Too bad that he got his midlife crisis out of the way early hah. He's nearly 50 and he still hasn't bought a nice car to compensate for his age.

My dad may be trading in the Protege for an '06 MX-5 Limited Edition. \:D/ 6-speed manual, Velocity Red, black leather interior, black cloth top, Bose stereo system...

He has two custom license plates in mind: 1OF3500 (Because there were only 3,500 of the Limited Edition made), or RAREMX5.

My mum drives a 2004 model Subaru Impreza WRX with MRT Performance exhaust, Konig Unknown 19 inch wheels with Toyo Proxes 4 rubber, and my dad drives...um...a 1990's GQ Nissan Patrol, and he sometimes drives my soon-to-be car, the 1988 R31 Skyline.
