    Williams is 'Horrible'

    Was driving a car-ignorant mate about in the Williams on the weekend, and during a bit of manoeuvring - followed by the usual whines, whirs and groanings from the power steering and a slight knocking of the exhaust on the underside of the car - he came out with: "This car is horrible, isn't it?". Erm, yeah

    Which leads to the question - is it just me, or is anyone else embarssed by their car?! It's not just the noises... it's the boy racer looks and gold wheels as well.

    PS. Will a simple PAS fluid change help things out?

    No not all, for anyone that knows anything about cars it is legendary and the amount of people that point and stare is worth it. Everyone looks at you when you fill up at the petrol station and you can tell theyre thinking 'wow is that a real williams?!'. The PAS cant be any worse than the mini's, and they sound stupid! At least the problem can be fixed on a willy, the mini owners are stuck with that annoying 'whiirrrrrrr' every time they turn the wheel!

    I'd have opened the passenger door and kicked him out.

    i dont own a Williams at present but my PAS is loud as hell or slow hard steering. Also even though its not overfull i have to wipe down the top of the reservoir now and then.

    i know what you mean, my exhaust taps quite a bit, lots of passengers moan about that

    most of my friends are car literate and know though that although my old heap is noisey its still quicker than theirs.

    Tell him to passenger in a highly-tuned turbo jap car with "clunking" mech LSD and crazy-loud exhaust; 10 mins in that and he will say the Williams is silky smooth

    PS: I have made 2 passengers so sick in the Williams, that they had to take the taxi. Not my fault, the roads were bumpy and twisty.
