Always good to hear folk enjoying their 180s still, probably why I still have mine when only too easy to look at other cars for a change.

Even at that though, ide like to think ide wipe the floor with it. And i know what you mean about the Audi's. I was side by side with a 2.0T A4 at about
135 -140 mph up at loch lomond. The roads are so straight up there you really can streach the Zed's legs.

Dony really know if i should be admitting that but what the he ll

If it beat you then I doubt it was standard can see 200bhp out of them with a turbo intercooler and a remap
If were playing with 200bhp audi's then I doubt a 134bhp Punto would be to much trouble

And I wouldn't worry this aint the sort of site the law will be watching
no ones talking about Hams Hall (YouTube it)

Stev180 is on a distinguished road
The shame of it is that I didnt get to play with many cars during the journey at all, at most a VW Scirocco and a Saab 93 (both diesels) but did a mixture of driving/speeds and its a great car.

I should add I have only owned the 180 since Jan this year and have only been fortunate to take it long distance a few times.
