Default Just remembered why I bought one!

After an overnight shopping trip to Leeds driving the Girlfriends 120,000 mile Concerto 1.5, I got home and uttered the usual words "erm, I'm just popping out love"
Jumped straight into my S (which is still in GT mode due to a lack of available storage space for now) and hit the road. It was dry and sunny but cold.

20 miles or so later and I was grinning like a chesire cat in a pair of Oakley glasses. The car felt solid and tight. Everything was close to hand and the steering was so direct. The gear change felt like a rifle bolt and the noise of the engine was F1 like!

I'd recommend you all to drive a pile of sh## every now and again and then you'll really appreciate what you've got. Wonder if the same applies to sex??

Just thought I'd share.............

Got the chance to have a go in a pal's Elan S2 the other night it's completly planted and goes as pointed, but the steering is sooo bland!
No where near as full on as the S2 which is nice

That's why it's important to always upgrade.
Seven years ago, I thought my 110Bhp Rover 400 was quick. Four years ago, I thought my 134BHP Astra SRi was quick. What's next?
