Have you got a black leather coat that goes all the way down to your ankles too? And a furry hat, you need one of them too ... preferably leopard skin type pattern!



I need to take a piccie of something for you

And I thought 14 to the gallon on a run was good. If I was in town with plenty of wheel spin it dropped to 8 mpg Forget the pimp look ... it was a very close copy to the car from smokey and the bandit. Only difference is that my car had a red interior and in the film the car had a black interior.

The 911 is awesome on fuel. Will do just over 30mpg on the motorway at 85 ish.

This one I know of lives in a heated garage, has had everything done to it, chipped etc a,d has about 4K on the clock. I keep telling the owner to take it to the speed trials but he won`t.

Something like that needs a good thrashing. It also has a full race exhaust to suite the chip etc and even when its just ticking over you know its potent!
