Cars Where The Reality Failed To Live Up To The Expectation

I agree. It was pathetic.

I was expecting Page to fall over as he seemed even more out of it than he usually does and Plant seemed have been popping downers.

In the last month I’ve bought 3 “ new” cars , a Boxster, a Mini diesel and an SLK .Today I’ve driven all 3 , just running around locally .
The one I like least ?

The Boxster, I’m a bit gutted, but it’s uncomfortable, noisy, cramped and not particularly fast. The old 2.3 auto SLKis much nicer, but my favourite is the Mini diesel. I love canning it around feeling like a rally driver but barely breaking the speed limit.
Don’t tell my Mrs, but I’m dreading having to go for a weekend away in the fucking Porsche- she loves it.

Christ. I remember buying that.

I fully agree with this. Unless the Porsche is running on good quality tyres which are new or nearly new, I've found them lethal. By comparison, the SLKs are nice enough to tootle around in.

Did it have the one about if you want to take some pictures of the fascinating witches who put the stitches in the britches of the boys who put the powder on the noses of the ladies of the harem of the court of king cracticus then you're too late. As they've just passed by?

If so, I don't remember it at all.

If, like me, you're quite tall then whether you'll find a Boxter comfy is down to your proportions. I'm 6'2" but have long legs so I find that I can fit OK in a Boxter (and MX5) but someone I know who's 6'1" but with short legs and a long body struggles to fit behind the wheel.

As a lanky cunt, the only car I couldn't drive was a Mk4 Spitfire with the standard large steering wheel, when swapped with a little Mountney I had no problem. I even found that an X19 fitted me like a glove.

Bet your fares hated them though.....

MK2 MR2. Smooth but it was dog slow. But afterwards I found out it was the 3SFE engine with 115bhp.

The 3SGE had 175bhp I think, and then there was the turbo which I imagine was more interesting again.
