I have a Puma 1.7, its ok, but after being a passenger in a few TVRs theres no comparison (dream on not in my life time) but the Pumas the business for me at the mo, pretty nippy and runs well, so no complaints there

Don't have a car of my own (hence the user name!) but I do have a company eurobox, which I do look after as if it was my own - I even refuse to use car washes in case it gets scratched!

But to say that I love it would be going a little bit too far for me!

The Mercedes is not a car you love. It gets me from A to B, Its a fantastic car though.

The Subaru is a great car, and i could'nt bear to get rid of it.. when the engine is back in it will be a true monster, so i guess i will love it then.

I love my moggy - I must do or I wouldn't have kept it as my daily driver for 10 years. Now resting ready for restoration when money allows.

Now got a Rangie as an economical little run about and I must say it's fantastic especially over the speed bumps on the way to the gf's house.

Same with the Rover. Don`t "love" it - just thrash the tits off it and repair things if they break (suprisingly rare) !

Love my old MR2.

No traction control, no ABS, no PS. But I love driving it, especially when I get to use the t-bar and take the lid off on sunny days.

Also like the fact that it's just about simple enough to be able to tinker around with.

Puma is supposed to be a really good handling car .

My current car isnt a sports car but also no sh1tter. I think its the nuts, got some grunt when needed, lots of space, old school looks and great one make forum that has regular meets.

Currently have the following to fit K&W suspension with 60/40 drop, strut brace and chip. Going to the PH rolling road day to get it baselined before the chip goes on and take it further.

Want 16inch Alpina or Hartge alloys, Kenwood CD player, cloth sport seats, rear headrests, 6X9 speaker in the rear, rear m-tec spoiler (being made), uprated antiroll bars well that will do for now

Nah. poxy Cobra alarm went into anti-carjack mode when I left the engine running with the door shut. Had to use the "Whitehawk handle" i.e. a rock, to get in.

And whaddya mean, "almost"!

Most follwers-on dissappear into rear view nothingness in a heartbeat. You remained in tow, my man, for a heartbeat and a fart. Im talking a about little ripper, a mere toot, not some sloppy flabby-cheeked three phase cheesey creeper.

A notable experience though
