Other Than A FIAT....

I was driving next to an Integra type R a while ago, even from the drivers seat of my car it sounded fantastic and left me for dead - and I had 136 bhp then!!

True to a point, but it depends what you're prepared to sacrifice. A bit unoriginal styling and dull interiors can be forgiven for spine-tingling howls from massively powerful engines and great handling. I'd rather have a Civic Type R or S2000 than a Stilo Abarth or Alfa Spyder. It's all down to personal taste at the end of the day. Personally I enjoy thrashing the nackers off my car - there's probably something deeply freudian or psychologically revealing about that though!!

Toyota RAV4 three door - old model 'cos I like the styling.

Penny had a 5-door version before she had the boring old Nissan, after she realised that she was eligible for a Motability vehicle. Boy, were we sad to see that go. The Nissan has about as much charm as a slug ;)

Also, a Datsun 240Z would be nice ...

(Me or the car? Actually, you're right on both counts ;))
 
There was a British Racing Green K reg (old type) 240Z at Doncaster Custom Car Show, on triple carbs... looked superb. Mind you it was a show winner!

just need those 6 numbers, and I'll fill my fantasy garage up!

Now there's an idea........

Have to agree with Pete, driving a VTEC is like having a turbo, plant your foot down, wait for 5000 rpm and then wheeeee all the way upto 9000rpm !!
Love it :D

That there's nothing quite like wringing the neck of a finely tuned car which sounds fantastic. You could rev a Volvo 340 to 8000 revs, once, but it would sound horrible and go pop. The VTEC motors sound so sweet, and give off a sound so addictive you just have to redline it again to make sure you didn't hear it wrong!

It's the same reason why I could never own a Diesel, a large part of the enjoyment from driving is from the sound the car makes.

What did all the testers say about the Ferrari 355 when it first came out? Spine tingling bark at 8500 revs.

the point being that, at the end of the day a cinq is a crappy car in most respects whereas a decently engineered honda whups....you know...i'm bored with this sentence already...tell you what, shall i just go into one of my rants again yeah why not afterall they're always much more entertaining well i think they are anyway and it's better than trying to suspend belief and think that a cinq is in some way better than well any proper car really have i pissed you cinq owners off enough yet no oh ok then you all smell of wee wee too and you drive like grannies on crack and no i don't have any idea what that's like but you do cos that's how you drive you wee wee stinky people hee hee mr tickle has long arms but is orange, discuss
