Tristan should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
"They are not driver's cars.They are meant to transport a family and all their stuff over long distances at 70 mph in relative comfort."

Over here we have cars that do BOTH!! Ford Mondeo. Is it the biggest selling car in the country?? Somewhere close. It manages both comfortably.

"Please tell me about the latest mass produced UK "drivers cars".Are there any ??"

Again, is that an argument or an observation??

"The only cars Tristan has been in is Grandpa cars."

I object!! I want a car that'll sling me up a moutain pass at physics-defying speed, not a warbling yank-tank hovercraft.

"The SRT-4 Neon (210 hp 2.4 ltre 4 banger) gets 14 MPG in city driving where the Z28 Camaro (325 hp V8) gets around 20 mpg."

Very nice. Rubbish cars both.

Top Gear tonight made me feel good

1) "ALL american cars are rubbish" observation was made on more than one occasion.

2) The Corvette was slowest over the standing quater.

3) That ridiculous made-for-American-market Z8 was dragged through the coals. Again.

See?? I AM NOT ALONE!!
