& fuel cutoff at 9200 IIRC - like a brake being applied. TBH while it was fun, I'm now driving an Alfa 3.2V6 which would probably steer me in engine choice for the next car.
I have a real thing for the GTV 3.0 Thankfully they haven't run away in price. creeping up slowly though going back a few years and I'd imagine not a single car has them these days:
opening quarterlight windows. Its the simple things in life.
Oh and cupholders. I can remember a time when not a single car had one. having at least one, for yr drink on a long journey is a nice thing to have. I used to have to use a home made wooden box with a can sized hole in it to hold drinks.
or if you had the right dashboard in a car with round air vents that were vertical enough, you could pull the vents out and shove yr drink in there.

I'm torn between the weight or the 12krpm limit of my Indy.
That or the simple roof of a ND MX-5, very quick and easy to put up and down, far more reliable and lighter than any electric hood.
Pressing a button from the keyfob is just soooooooooooo much cooler though!! I know i'm a tart but plastic roofs, err, no thanks.That or the simple roof of a ND MX-5, very quick and easy to put up and down, far more reliable and lighter than any electric hood.

Supercharger whine ... from the Cooper S
Each to their own, but just no - found that sound really annoying when we test-drove an R53 some years ago. I love the idea of s'charging over t'charging (throttle-response, linearity, ability to keep a high peak rpm more easily), but the sound of them... :shudder:Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
