I reckon its the other way round - just. I've never driven a MK1 with a 16V engine in though  ;D The Mk1 with 16v engine drives like the original rev-hungry 1600 Mk1 GTI but on steroids!  |

Once drove a mates capri that he rescued from a barn only to find it had 2.1 engine, performance exhaust, twin carbs and an LSD... drove it round Slough Sewerage Treatment works at brakeneck speed and absolutly loved it. You think he would let me buy it? not a chance...  Other cars ive enjoyed driving are my warmed up imp, great handling and can really suprise people. Last but not least, I thoroughly enjoyed my Volvo 164- serious torquey power from the straight 6 3ltr and twin strommies. handled like the QE2, but I loved it- specialy the way the tail dipped down when you booted it and you could feel yourself being pushed into your seat....heh heh heh ;D |

An Imp is for life, not just the national

Mini of course  Mk1 and 2 Golf GTi 205 GTi Lotus/Caterham/Westfield E30 318is, 325i Sport and M3 And most Alfa Romeos especially the new GT. I worked on the GT press launch last year and loved every minute of it, following journalists around the 140 miles route around the Scottish Highlands as a support car changing buckled wheels, bumpers and front struts They are so balanced when set up properly  My G/Fs Seicento is also great fun to drive with IRS and sticky tyres and 39bhp  |
