I Like Cars
As an engineer I feel I must.
Some cars I like include:
- McLaren F1 - if this isn’t your favourite car then you are dead to me
- Porsche 911 - if ever you needed proof of evolution then look no further.
Darwin would have been proud - Smart Coupe Roadster - small time fun
- Lotus Elise / Vauxhall VX220 - separated at birth
- Honda NSX - a wake-up call to all performance car manufacturers,
I mean even the key is made of Monel. - Tesla - the future - if we like it or not
- Honda Civic 1342cc - probably the best engine ever
- Fiat 500 - if you live in a city without hills
- Fiat Abarth - if you live in a city with hills
- Dino 246 - beauty
- Ferrari 288 GTO - every car list must feature a Ferrari by law
- Mercedes C111 - taxi firm does engineering
