Re: WAY OT - English Sport Cars

[Alan Kerr]

before the shitty Taurus I now own I had a 308 VN Commodore and took it 
to 200kph (which is probably similar to 130mph) before I chickened out. 
Wasn't another car on the road though. Not in the same class as the 
Shelby of course. I've been in a VW Golf GTI thats speedo was in MPH up 
to 135mph, now that was scary even though it was on the empty Western 
Australian roads. I like a bit of metal around me at those speeds.

About a hundred years ago (it only seems like that ) I had a 59 Bugeye
w/hardtop in BRG for my last two years in a commuting college - what a
treat. I got a fulltime job and stepped into the real world and bought a
brand new 1966 Shelby GT 350 - talk about shock, that shelby could go faster
in second gear than the Bugeye could do in forth. On my way to my new job,
on the Ohio Turnpike I was able to get the 350 up to an indicated 130+ mph.
   

Master! I am not worthy (etc......

Did you try the 100 dollar bill on the windscreen trick?

Cheers,
