dont understand wot 'wog' stands for but fair play as i sometimes prefer cheaper cars to huge cars.
ie: i'd prefer charade gtti or origional shape mini to a ferrari soley because they're such a barrel of laughs yet still dirt cheap with some decent performance (the gtti does 0-60 around 7.5 secs)

Sorry, just a comment in poor taste as an attempt at humour (you may have read we've been having our own little version of the French race riots down under).

Understand where you're coming from re: the GTI but frankly, if I had the means, an F430 would be parked in the garage in preference to a Mini.

-------------------------------

Wog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

As a racial reference in Australian English
Wog is also a slang term in Australian English, denoting non-Anglo-Celtic Australians, usually people of Southern European Mediterranean or Middle Eastern ancestries. Historically, the term included Slavic peoples from the Balkans (Croats, Serbs, FYROMs, ect.). Recently, it has come to be applied to people of Middle Eastern or Mediterranean ancestry, such as Arabs, Isrealis, Latins, Greeks, Roma, Turks, Iranians, and others of similar racial appearance.

I'm hauling this puppy up to add a YouTube link to a recent test Clarkson did of the Cadillac CTS-V, including a lap against an Audi S4 driven by the Stig. More smoke than fire, but that Caddy does move

Here's the link: Top Gear

I am sure this has been posted before but boy is it worth another view. Far more interesting than a cadillac!
