Remember the Lancia Delta?????????

[BUSHWHACKER]

Sorry, but Subarus just dont do it for me.

Its not all about 1 million horse power computers with wheels.

The best car I've ever driven was a Mk1 MR2. No kidding! About 130BHP, no power steering, or ABS, or any of that.

Some highlights of what Ive driven...

The exotics - Porsche 911 (both non-turbo and turbo), Porsche 968 club sport (thing with the roll cage in), Porsche 928, Ferrari 328GTs

Rally prepared cars - Subaru Impreza, Lancer Evo VI, 2 litre Vauxhall powered Mk2 escort, various other Mk2's, Cossie Sierra

Road cars - some Impreza or other, Mk2 turbo MR2 with getting on for 350BHP, Audi Ur Quattro, some nice Alfas, ohhh... etc etc etc

If I wanted something fast these days, I want something that gives ME something to do, some feedback, and a reason to turn round and look at what I've just parked when I get out of it.

I used to lust after the Vauxhall Chevette HSR.

But you generalise on the models.......... they aint all computer assisted.

Exactly!

Thats my point!

Hell, I've flown in a BAE Hawk at 450mph at 200ft!

Its much faster than a Skyline so there!

Who cares? I'd rather have an Alfa GTV 3.2. Its nowhere near as fast, but I'd sit and stare at it all night. I'd enjoy sitting in it. A Skyline? Oh yeah, another one of them dull-o-boxes with some guy who thinks his Almera is somehow better because its got a turbo the size of a wheelie bin.

Oh well...

With the 'my car has more BHP than your car' thing that seems to be important to the EVO / Impreza / Skyline etc crowd, there does seem to be parallels to the 'my cock is bigger than your cock mentality of the school showers I'm afraid.

Fast cars are gay. period

My mate bought a BRAND NEW RB320. Despite, as I pointed out, he could have had a two year old British Racing Green Jag XKR with tan leather for less. "But its not as fast" he said. At which point, I shook my head in disbelief.

I hope we get to have a few beers and a chat at Hop Farm. Sounds like you got some good stories to tell.

Have you heard the one about the cut finger?

[Apache]

I shudder when I think about that scalpel slicing through the fingernail on its way up my finger!

I woke in a cold sweat last night about half an hour after going to bed.

Euuuwwww....

Hop farm? What's hop farm then?
