I don't have a PPP car though.

If I did, I'd have lashed Andy F in his Spec C.

I've heard Turbo's spool from a 100 yard away on the strip, some sound like airliners, are you growing potatos in your ears??

Pic was from a story printed in the Essex weekly, a top London Police pursuit officer was considering quitting and the Police flirted with bribery by offering a more sportier car.
