The passing of an age..
Just like no more Escorts in rallying was the passing of another age.
Don't knock em Lizzy. I had a WRX for 2 years. It was the most enjoyable and competent car to drive that I have had - by a long way. And the MV6 is quick (and competent), but not even close to it for 'making progress' on country roads on a nice Sunday afternoon.
I have nothing against them
really Bandit, but they always seem to be a little pretentious, with a lot of noise for a small ugly car, with usually, in my area anyway, so often a baseball caped wannabe racing driver youngster showing off in it acting in a bloody stupid manner in 30 mph zones. (Yes, I know we were all young once!!

)
I can think of so many cars I'd sooner have, like a 1600E Cortina Mk2

or Mk1 Escort 'Mexico'

, or a Carlton 3000GSi 8-) 8-) 8-)in the "old" car range, or a modern Mustang which has beauty, power, and real presence, but of course I know that is purely my opinion as a speedy mature woman, not a young boy racer!

I put on my tin hat now, thinking of leaving the room.........
