Once she gets traction she can drag most stock Scoobies and Evo's whilst being bloody good in the corners (Best handling FWD car of her generation)
MPG is 30 with a heavy foot and 40 on the motorway. Its much more comfortable than modern Lotus and has a decent boot for a sports car. Build quality is suspect but that can be forgiven as shes hand built and such bloody good fun.
Only downside was that my first one tried to kill me!! Hence the hoops in the last picture.
Sensible car is a boring 2000 Renault Laguna.

Looks like you were a lucky boy dude.!!

I had a fork truck licence before I had one to drive a car - the fork truck course took a week -prolly lapsed, now??
I currently drive a Ford Focus 2.0 Tdi 'Titanium' supplied to me as a 'company car' - fuel consumption readout says 50.7 mpg atm.
Mrs Gaz drives an Honda Jazz - her fuel mileage is at least 48 mpg - unleaded.

Wow that brings back memories of my first car back in 1985! I had a 1.0L Metro and loved it but then most people love their first car although i'd cringe now.

The onboard computer crashed while I was driving at speed - shortly followed by me driving into racking.
It was quite a mess.
