Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

I was taking about the wheelbase..... obviously its rather longer overall. 86.8 vs 88.4 for the Metro.
 
I saw this today

The car looks so small to have a V8 engine
It must be fun :D
It did look immaculate








 
It might be a V8......but they were front heavy.....and only 133 horespower......so not very exciting. But excitment is added to by rubbish brakes and poor handling....so every cloud......:) Was also known as a TR8.

They were rallied though weren’t they? I think the results were so do.
 
Yep....too heavy at the front.....but at least they were 290hp!.



You could have bought one for just £55K!!

 
That's a great line from the Inveltcollection :
"driving the TR7 V8 was not the easiest - especially on gravel, it liked to take a direction, that was not always in accordance with the driver's instructions."
Sounds a bit like me when Mrs S foolishly allows me to take control of the shopping trolley in Lidl.

I did notice the tiny front brakes and rear drums at the back 😁

The highlighted bit🤣🤣
 
A few years ago I very, very nearly bought a white 10valve 2.1Quattro. Long story short, it was owned by a bloke who's car repair business was going down the pan and he was desperate for cash. I agonised for days over it and got through several sets of batteries in the Man Maths calculator before deciding against it. It was a bit rough round the edges but mechanically spot on. And that noise.....😚
In the early 90s I had a white 10 valve SOHC Quattro for just over a year. It was fantastic until things started to go wrong and it became ridiculously expensive to keep.

Yep, that's the conclusion I came to, despite trying my hardest with the Man Maths Calculator. I've often though I should have just gone for it, but ultimately it was probably the right decision.
 
Is it Gerry Rafferty's?
 
Did you know that Sherlock always had his front door painted yellow? It was his lemon-entry.
Already got my coat and I'm off.......
At least we don't have to phone for a taxi for you :p
