Technically yeah, but on the speedo it shows a mind blowing 55mph. To be honest, having been without the saxo for 3 months I've gone a bit mad and did 65 in places...

no cos there in the slow lane with him haha

Barry123
31st December 2006, 04:05
actually do u not get over taken by lorries?

Sometimes. Depends on the conditions really, mainly I slipstream a lorry doing normal lorry speed. sometimes I might lose one (it goes off into a service station or layby) so instead of wasting precious hydrocarbons trying to catch one up I'll just go a bit slower until another lorry comes along, overtakes, then I slipstream again.

djmartin
31st December 2006, 04:07
good idea makes pure sence really on a motorway plus your driving safe so respect mate :)

Barry123

Yeah but it tends to make me look a c**t too sadly :cool:

To be honest, I like driving my saxo, its suspension is really suited to motorway roads. I mind just sitting in it, chilling, plodding along listening to Radio 1.

djmartin
31st December 2006, 04:09
lol and u save money so you can put ur two fingers up at them and watch them burn there fuel faster lol haha

Baz
31st December 2006, 04:14
wish i was like you Ad! i tend to be hogging the outside line trying to get home ASAP! average speed of 75 MPH on my way home a while back, not bad going ;) and no i wasn't speeding at all!

davew
31st December 2006, 04:18
yeah im the same usually in the outside lane cos i just wanna be at home....


to be fair though the s is pretty good on the motorway for petrol.


pretty pokey if you put your foot down....

(note this only happens when someone in a big flash car cuts me up or trys to undertake me, see ya :))

DS_furio
31st December 2006, 05:06
are you serious slipstreeming lorrys to save feul whats the world comming to
davew and baz saxo are on the right lines. when i end up in a convoy going up to a meet or show some where. if anyones going slower than 120 you know theres a propblem. i dont even know if my little furio will cruise at 120 so saddly i wont be joinning them

Viper
31st December 2006, 05:41
i doubt your furio will make it up to 120, never mind cruise at it..

and yes, ads DOES slipstream. lol

i witnessed it :P its quite funny being on the Mway with him. its a nice steady poddle :)

oh, and my best mod would have to be the kenwood HU :)

Luke
31st December 2006, 09:27

SteVTR
31st December 2006, 11:58
best thing i did with my saxo was decide to try and sell it and get something faster (and better built) :)

ets2k9
31st December 2006, 12:10
The best thing I decided to do was keep it abit longer its cheaper.

I'd say the engine comes a close second.

SteVTR
31st December 2006, 12:11
mod wise its between the engine and the gti-6 brakes for me
