I’d much rather have a Compact PussycatThe Arkansas Chuggabug
Beautiful cars. I was torn between the XKR and XJR tbhXJR. The 1990s supercharged one. Lovely
Taxi for OtisNever, ever been interested in cars, past them being reliable and a comfortable ride.
Everything else can go swivel for me.
So, my dream car would have great miles per gallon and allow me to sleep at the wheel on long journeys.
Lovely cars, do they still have wooden floors or have they stopped that now?

You don't really need to touch the accelerator to move from stopped. Just tick over is about 10mphThey have a lovely bit of oomph.
I worked at Gaydon in the compound for a year or so, basically just parking cars and getting them for the transporters. They used to nearly take off.
An 18 year old in one of those in a car park was mental, looking back.
I like classics from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, I could fill a warehouse so too many to mention. If I win the lottery the only new(ish) car I’ve promised myself is an Ariel Atom 3.5. Drove them a couple of times on driving experience days, the best fun you can have on 4 wheels without buying a van with a bed in the back.
I ride motorbikes so there’s them too. Have a soft spot for 4 cylinder air cooled Japanese bikes. A Honda CB400/4 and a early air cooled GPZ 750 please.
Wood I understand. Why burn it first?They still use an Ash frame.
285 degree crossplane crank twins, KTM are the only company making them pretty much and apparently it’s the optimum degree on a crank for a parallel twin. Most modern parallel twin are 270 for mass production and cost. Not tried a KTM but heard they’re the nuts.I loved my Hinkley Triumph 900 Daytona. Not really a sports bike but a great tourer (based on the Kwak triple). The Suzuki TL1000 was a great bike but didn't suit the wife as a pillion. KTM have produced some great grunty motors

I had a white RS Turbo like the one in the picture. Lots of torque steer.Hmmmm tough question, for every day use? If I won the lottery I'd obviously have the super cars but these:
I had a series 2, that was bad enough. Would boost and just hold on for lifeI had a white RS Turbo like the one in the picture. Lots of torque steer.
