The guy at the garage next door has just taken me for a spin in a 400BHP 5 litre TVR engined Cobra replica. He even pulled over and offered me a drive, but I declined on the grounds that the car was a ******* animal. I am sat here now wishing I had taken him up on his offer.

Sick as a parrot.

so it was running a rover V8 was it ?

rover yes, the engine came from a tuscan i think, though i am sure you will feel duty bound to correct me.

I wasn't trying to say the car was anything super special, as there are lots of monster cobras about, my point was that the car was a beast and i passed on driving it.

not having a pop or anything just funny saying a 400bhp TVR engine when 400bhp Rover V8 could have been used.

I have about 400bhp BBC V8 in my mk1 escort so I know what it would have been like, fun it the understatement.

just ask for another ride
