Ladas WERE bad & slow. Especially compared to a proper FIAT 124.

I still fried my discs chasing a P6B in a 124...

I had a few P6 Rovers. The best were an early 3500 auto and a late 3500S (the manual).

There aren't many cars I want to drive, but those I can think of at the moment would be:

An Isetta bubble car (no idea why - some fantasy about rolling it maybe)
Any 50's F1 car (wet dreams, etc)
A genuine old Shelby Cobra (over powered is always interesting)
The current Roller (I've seen them built from bare shells on the production line)

I like crap German microcars too - the Heinkel is supposedly better.

Nah

Her Messerschmitt rules

>70 mph in a TG500? That must feel like a BF109E with a Spitfire behind it!

i really can't think of anything that i think i ought to try? iv'e never driven any modern supercar so i suppose that would be someting to try if i could but just more curiosity than the need. i have driven some great cars (and some not so great) over the years though.

i'll see if i can remember some and will probably have to update the thread. being a mechanic with a passion for older cars, even when i was at a main dealership, i always got the oddball stuff to work on.
