HI Hachi - I hope those roundabouts are on a private road cos that would be very dangerous and silly to do it on the public roads and we absolutely must not endorse any form of reckless driving!!!!  | |

I think Loxx was expressing his surprise at the power of this sleeper? (I Hope!) I wonder if Ferrari will ever bring out a diesel model that can be run on Veggie Oil? | |

Depends on my mood. Had a go of a Bentley Turbo R once, it was great! Like a big fast magic carpet. Best drivers car I've driven was a customers Porsche 911 Turbo, was so responsive and made me look a better driver than I am. But the car that makes me feel best when I drive it is my 1974 Mini. Don't drive it regularly but when I do I can't help but smile. You don't drive a Mini, you drive with one! | |

For me, it has to be a 1985 Tickford Capri Turbo 2.8 - Aston Martin did a superb job of the engine whilst leaving the chassis alone from the waist back - live rear axle, No traction control and enough torque to liven up a wet afternoon in true sideways style. Best not done on the public highway, but, well, err, we've all been silly! |

The Tickford Capri engines sounded great. A throaty purr when tuned to perfection.

This is going to sound arrogant, but my car. I have wanted a big american muscle car for literally as long as I can remember, and to have a "B" body Chrysler was something I never thought would happen.  Yes it is rubbish when it comes to corners, but it drives sooooo much smoother than any other car I have owned, it's plenty big enough to use practically for a day out or even a weekend away with the wife and kids, it's quick and its the coolest ride in town.
Incase anyone is wondering, Chrysler used to have different body types occording to their size. e.g. Dodge Charger/Coronet, Plymouth Satellite/Roadrunner/GTX were all "B" bodies. if you look at them all they are all similar in size and shape and some parts are interchangeable

Japs are good at autos that don't sap power.
Personally, I love modern automatics just as much as I hate old school ones. | |
