licence. The 164 V6 sounds great, the 75 V6 sounds amazing, but a 147 GTA
with a race pipe is something to die for.
If you've heard a well tuned Ferrari 246 Dino at full cry you'll know the
sound, but the rate the Alfa revs seems a lot quicker and makes it seem less
stressed at the same time.
Impressive sounding things... but you need a less restrictive pipe on 'em.

pipe looked a bit peashooter. This is the problem, I want to drive one,
badly, but I know full well if I do I'll accidently end up buying one, and
either my wallet, or my licence, or my health, or all three will regret it
as I understeer my way to tyre smoking oblivion...

I fancied a mr2 but they're just to small as there's no realistic way to fit a mountain bike in one. Another point is you should really try a rwd car at some point as once you've driven one you probably won't want to go back to fwd. I'd say fwd is generally quicker but rwd is much more fun. Have you considered a supra? Well, as he drives a BMW, and has owned an Mr2 Mk1 and and MR2 Mk2 |

isn't more addictive than masturbation.
2nd gear and some beans will happily get you into trouble with the law.
Mind you, 3rd 4th 5th and 6th will probably happily see them become
small dots in the mirror. (c:

Therein is the car's problem. You can only legally hear that noise in four
gears. Reverse, neutral, first and second. Actually as I recall in second
it's not legal either meh.

is the best 2 seat cabrio for everyday use, or the SLK if you want hardtop.
Boxster seats and driving position are brilliant.
