[TR] A fine day out!

[Michael Marr]

Mine was a 2002 convertible. Lovely car, but it consumed coils (there were eight of them) on a regular basis. I drove home in “limp home” mode on too many occasions, and finally sold it. I’d love another one, I have to say!

Purrs like a kitten while puttering around town, but give 'er some wellie and it will growl like a big cat on the prowl!  Of course, I haven't taken it over 115 mph yet.  At 70 mph in top gear it is turning only 2,000 rpm, redlines at 6,500.  Whoo hoo!  And it gets 6 - 7 mpg better than my 2008 V6 Nissan Pathfinder.
