A WHOLE 350hp from a supercharged 4.6litre V8! WOW! However do those incredible American automotive engineers manage such performance witchcraft!? And whilst managing to produce an engine with more pipes, wires and clutter than an explosion in a pipe cleaner factory. Startling. I don't think that if you dropped a handful of peanuts in at the top that any would make it out the bottom! And in such a dynamic lightweight form of 2 tonnes of svelte Detroit pig iron. Still aside from the fluffy steering and light feeling brakes it's quite the, erm, performance machine.

Ford Capri Laser: noisy, slow, thirsty, bouncy, no buttons but it always sounds like it’s REALLY trying and I can’t help but chuckle when it parps and boings along. And people of a certain age stare at it with a wistful look in their eyes that clearly says…I had one of them. And I sold it because of the kids
