We had a G.P.14 open to day and one guy ( he may have won) was towing his G.P. with one of those Toyota sportscar things , Celicia? about the size of a little MG. That all seemed a little incongurous bugger the Volvos!

 That's a question you need to ask Contender443!

He's very proud of his silver ZT-T and deep down, he's still very fond of the old Midget sitting in the garage. Where he sees a classic car in need of TLC, everyone else sees a growing heap of stupefying rust begging for the scrapyard.

It doesn't stop me beating him at the lights with my 306...

Les, I did not know you had that.  Mate In Geneva had An Integrale 'till about 12 months ago.    

It hasn't made it to the club yet!  Love Intergrales but they're a bit much as a second car

 

Indeed, he had a short wheelbase 3 door. 

 

If the Beta ever does make it let me know; I'd love a snoop around it...

Sold it for an Bimmer CSL and a Smart car as a daily driver !!!!!

I really liked Iain C's list. Here's a few more:

Contender - Audi URQuattro (the original turbonutter motor)

National 12 - Triumph TR4 - beautiful, makes all the right noises, their owners spend a fortune on them, not actually that quick.

GP14 - Volvo 240 estate - Big fat & ugly. Available in go faster form.

Scorpion - Mazda MX5 - Owners love it, invariably owned by tiny people.

Enterprise - Volvo C70 - Once it's going it has colossal momentum. Misguided individuals think its sporty

Javelin - Bentley Arnage - Huge, heavy, scary when its bearing down on you, astoundingly fast and beautiful in a traditional way

I14 - Porsche 911 Turbo - various generations, all classics, all scary.

BOSS - Porsche 928 - The be all and end all when it came out. Fat, overweight and misguided in retrospect.

Heron - Volvo 340. zzzzzzzz

For the record I sail an RS300 and drive a BMW 1 series. Controversial looks, great handling and goes reasonably quickly. Both have a fat arse...

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer.
