I'm currently in an MG TF160. It's European blue an aquired taste. Goes like shit on a stick and zips around corners at arrestable speeds. 160BHP on a chassis that I could pick up off the ground myself, put your foot down and it's like oh god shit g-force is crushing my bones. MG is out of business so it's hard to find parts and servicing, but who the hell cares when you can get a sportscar for £3k ($6k). Just go to junkyards and breakers yards for your parts. 44 miles to the gallon too, best engine ever, pity MG-Rover fucked things up on the management/production side and went out of business, the actual engineering was second-to-none.
It's an '02 plate with 22k miles on the clock.
FYI, you can't fit in this if you're over 6ft tall.
Just kidding... but for some reason, sports cars always look like they need a crank key to me for some reason...
But I drive a toyota camry, so I really have no position of aloofness to speak from.

This fact alone has kept me out of a lot of fun to drive cars for any length of time. 
That's a damned nice car though, Mort.

i imagine, it's a sales lot.
or some freak who thinks it's cool to slap down some blacktop and let the neighborhood park there.

Maradon! was naked while typing this:
You know, for a nation where gas is ten bucks a gallon, there are sure a lot of cars in that picture.
it helps that the nation is like, 50 miles long and the sports cars get 44 miles to the gallon.
It's just handy.

He was talking about Mort's picture, because you know, they pay by the litre. And they pay a lot for said litre. And theres like 20 cars in his pictures. Skaw fucked around with this message on 05-26-2008 at 08:10 PM.
Currently they stand at around £1.14 ($2.28 or whatever) per litre.
Considering they were just over £1 no more than a month ago, it's nuts. I can remember when it was 90p or so, couple of years back. My dad can remember when it was 10p.
It's like it has a nose.
A NOSE

Yeah, which was comedy gold when we picked him up on it. 
Still a god-awful car. All muscle and grunt, no staying power, no style, no fuel.
.. and it has a A NOSE.

It gets some freakish MPG though, I can't explain it. I've gone almost a complete 380~ mile round trip on a single tank. 4/5ths or so on the way back I decided to fill up before some trouble happened on the highway.

TVR's are British-made too, or at least they used to be before that jackass Russian idiot bought the company and run it into the ground. Gorgeous cars though. Mortious fucked around with this message on 05-27-2008 at 10:03 AM.
But some days (like today) when work requires a different surveillance vehicle, we switch and I get to drive the monster:
So that part kinda sucks.

You forgot the part where it died in North Dakota and you had to spend three days on several trains just to reach school in time.

I haven't forgotten that part.
Travel is hellish.
wheel balance/alignment so fucked it pulls to the right harder than Maradon
air conditioning needing a recharge, in florida
and no spare in the trunk
I need to sink some time and money into this beast but I have neither luxury in any supply.
I need to get a new pic of it without the bling tires on it.

Actually, yes, I do.
Because I save hundreds of dollars per month in fuel costs.
Which means I can buy hundreds of dollars worth of more beer. Beer which impairs my ability to drive, so I don't use my truck anyway. It all fits together! I call it "The Circle of Beer."
