Well there I was enjoying my usual early morning cappuccino and apple pastry when I reached across and picked up my new Classic & Sports Car magazine. As I nonchalantly flicked through the pages I was confronted by the gurning image of the one who could only be the Evil Dr Fish. After I apologised to the young mother opposite for spitting hot coffee over her infant I dug deeper to find a well written article about his Diablo in one of my favourite rags.

I have to say Doc your car does look nice but I make no apologies for the gip I have given you over your love affair with your car. What I found really interesting is that the writer’s conclusions mirrored my own exp of driving a Diablo a few years ago.

As for you Robin just because your car dates from the early 90's does not mean that you have to look that way as well laugh Keep the faith brother

PS, loved the pics, do they give you any hi res copies for you troubles????

I think I have some on the way now biggrin

As ever - It all comes down to how you define a 'flaw' or 'progress'.

ie - it's entirely a matter of personal opinion / perspective.

Eg. a light clutch to many is a great thing - to me, it's experience 'dulling'. Ditto my usual barrage of complaints against modern cars - Power steering, Traction Control (that doesn't have a genuine 'OFF'), Sensationless Gear shifts or worse still playstation gearboxes!

yet to many those are great things that are huge features.

As ever - I don't want my supercar to feel like a day car that just happens to go b100dy fast - why the hell would I?!
