What was your 0-60 on your private test track M'lud?  ???

6.78 seconds. :)

The Tata managed it in four and a bit. Very traction limited until 70 or 80MPH, after which she was properly quick. :)

Not bad for an elderly Vauxhall:y

Seventies supercar quick. :y

I'm thinking.....Maserati Bora.......V12 E-type.....Ferrari 365 GTC.......Porsche 911S 2.4.......Lamborghini Espada....... Islero ....... Jarama..... :y

And they didn't hang around back in the day. :y


They did break down though.
A lot. Like Prince Charles' new Aston that didn't make it as far as the motorway.
Which is why a 10 year old one any of those was worth next to nothing. Now they're still crap, but are worth a small fortune for some reason.

Lord Opti's Sigmund is on the face of things a quick, comfortable and reliable car, but is probably quietly dying from internal dissolving.  :'(

No mention of tin worm at the last MOT. :y

Most people barely notice it, and those that do don't know what it is. It's pretty quick for something form 2007.

It is, in 2.8T form, also extremely rare......much like your Mondeo Titty X. :)

Yes so rare that WBAC are dying to possess it!  :y
