Earthquake?

R5 Turbo had an ickle ~1400cc motor, didn't it?

However, I take your point in a way - a little car with
disproportionate power output is massively entertaining. One of the
favourites of my youth was a Spitfire with an Alfa twink and an Escort
axle in it, but the MKI Escort owned by a lad I knew that we fitted a
supercharged Essex V6 in pretty much took the biscuit - along with
many hedges and a couple of stright-over roundabouts.

Everyone's favourite, iwt. Has everything - looks, massive grunt, air
of foolishness and shit brakes. A whole dynasty of legends has
materialised about the Cobra, most of them invented by Carroll Shelby.

You need this

You can even go through mountains with it.

 

Yep, somewhere around that, and IIRC it's one of the old-school turbo
motors even though the lag's not too bad.

*class*

Yes, I've seen one before. They look like shit.

I found out that you're all wusses. There have been around 7
earthquakes in Greece since the beginning of this year, with the
minimum being 4.2 and the max about 6.4 on the Richter scale. They're
waiting for a big one...

 

Yup, and the same lump that went into the Volvo 340.

It's about the only Yank motor I like, but that air of foolishness is
what does it I think.

 

I'm with Ace on this one because no matter what you dress it up as a
Renault 5 stays a Renault 5 and it's only a car ffs.

I've never been in a car that's given me the same buzz as a big
motorbike. Given the choice between allowed to drive a 2008 F1 car and
a 2008 MGP bike and the car doesn't even come close no matter how much
faster it'd be on a flying lap and the same would go if I was offered
a pillion ride on a MGP against a passenger seat in an F1 car if such
a thing was possible.

I'm sorry but cars just don't give me any form of excitement and they
never will do.

 

Did I mention I have that on DVD?

 

They've been reporting it as a 5.2 all day oop 'ere.

There was drink involved in Pip's post, so he's excused boots.

Only that this wouldn't have been the model we're talking about

 

But of course!

It must be an age thing.
