Why, oh why do some members of this fantastic forum like to rubbish others with modification ideas for there miggies.

Each to their own and everyone has the right to an opinion but here are my points.

1. The "OMEGA" is far more imposing in appearance in it's standard form than even the hardest modded "Paxo".

2. The performance of even the entry level "OMEGA" puts even the hardest tuned "Paxo" to shame as they are nothing more than French Peashooters.

3. How many "OMEGA'S" did the UK plods use in their lifetime. Now tell me if you ever saw even ONE UK plod "Paxo"?

4. Now we have the racing pedigree. The "OMEGA" won the V8Star series for the first 2 of it's 3 seasons in 2001 and 2002 and then went on to compete in the VLN series. What was the "Paxo" ever even entered in, let alone won.

In short 

OMEGA vs Paxo

NO CONTEST OR COMPARISON!!!!

N.B. The Paxo refered to, for those of little knowledge, is the Citroen Saxo.

?? What help do you need?

interesting subject - I believe that it should be "each to his own" ( or "to each his own" to quote the bard ).

there is an obvious exception in that if anyone is doing something that is plain unsafe or illegal, then it should be "open season". I'm thinking specifically about bigger diameter tyres and the single wiper, etc.

having said that, if someone wants to do something to thier car, then it's entirely their shout - it's a big enough forum for everyone to get on.

Viewing last posts does not reveal anything afaict.

So yes, which post?

There is an aversion generally to modifying generally I think. Possibly due to the history of oof, and elder members bad experience in the shed afaict. Personally doesn't bother me as long as it's an improvement and well thought out, which sadly is rarely the case.

Also there is a double thread in general help.....

You've really lost me on that one because all I can see is someone rubbishing Citroen Saxos which kinda shoots somebody in the foot.

If someone chooses to publicise their mods on the forum I guess they ought to expect that they will not all be to everyone's taste.

Many car enthusiasts feel that authenticity is the ultimate objective, others that stamping their identity on their car is top priority.  Those two opinions are never going to reconcile on any car forum unless everyone keeps quiet.

I'm amused that the top of my browser says "lets be nice for a change..... " in the News banner!

Or a stroppy newsnight presenter....

But as you say, why would one compare the two cars, there is no comparison....?

[Lesopc]

My point........Does this look remotely like a Saxo??
