Johnnys stupid brother
Faced vega engines are shit, Buick rivieras are diabolically bad ( had one in St Louis 2002)
Whilst a Lamborghini Maura brings grown men to their knees weeping, and is guaranteed to nail even an over weight ugly ginger like Chris Evans or even me, a top bird, it's not...
I was a bit non plussed at first, but got into it . . theyre good cars . . I've raced at Goodwood a few times, Spa loads, Dijon, Chimay, Brands etc and Sillystone @ the British GP, but LeMans in a reasonably quick old tin box, in the dark, really does take the biscuit.
the Harrington Alpine...
mine was pretty good ( had been well restored ) but they are not brilliant cars by any means, the earlier griffiths/granturas are utter shyte. Although in recent years they have been completely re engineered for racing, so not really comparing chips with chips. an MG midget is a better drive TBH!
yes indeed, a 1954 pre A . . . 1500cc 170 BHP, 125 mph on the mulsanne straight . .. . . no f***ing brakes!!!!! one of the best weekends ever, we came 9th overall and won the index of performance outright. proper trophy too!
this was my last one, about 2000-2003 a very good car, much improved over the mk1, although not as light or quite as good looking. was a very reliable daily driver, did over 20 000 miles init in 2 1/2 years. took me to work and back, to albion matches and the first REMF game.
