Starting to look at new car options (1:1)

man you havent felt speed/power till you have been in the MANette

yes against the law is all very well and can be fun. like the only straight 3km strip we have here in tas...permenant speed camera in the middle, but someone has ALWAYS painted over it's lenzes .

but one of those utes arnt much good for doing anything more than the grocery shopping or going fast.
what is the point in owning a car like that?

the trouble is...not-so-fast-cars follow the same principle as the fast ones, high revs, more HP, turbo's, high torque band.

i find it funny when a mates van (VW turbo diesel) has to rev in order to get the turbo spinning just to pull the rubber duckie up the boat ramp.
his engine is bigger, more pwerfull and has a turbo...
i can idle up the boat ramp with my crap box.
hell i hardly ever use 1st gear because it's easier to start off from a rest in second.

i still think engines have gone backwards...but dont worry...i designed a new engine that can take any fuel, from diesel to hydrogen and produce a better torque/power band, anyone wanna loan me a few thousand to help develop it?

Manette - love it!

If I really wanted a ute I'd buy one - I don't have one so I guess I don't really want one

I wouldn't speed in TAS either, don't you have unmarked cars parked by the side of the road merrily snapping away? Targa would be a whole lotta fun though
