So true ;)

I was hoping this had something to do with the now-classic PC game (1996?) - my favourite was Need For Speed Porsche 2000 (also sold as Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed), which wasn't quite as swank and glamorous but instead had you working your way up through the ranks. You could train to be a factory test driver (y)

Meanwhile we should have a sticky at the top of the Punto section, "Want more power from your 1.2 8V?" which should collect together all the posts about engine transplants/buying faster cars etc.

My suggestion, as always, is to buy an Alfa Romeo 164. Probably about the price of a Punto gear knob, and 140mph performance. Keep the Punto for driving around town.
