I wonder what driving one of those now would feel like compared to a modern car. Probably tremendously slow, thirsty and with feeble brakes.
Always liked them though.That was the Consul - I had a Granada equivalent and from memory it drove well in comparison to today's typical saloon. Not particularly fast and the brakes were OK - but it was never designed to be a boy racer.I always thought they would become future classics but they haven't really - the Zodiac/Zephyr that came before is more collectable.0 -
The wagon from Kill Bill. It is in keeping with my newly found feminist ideology.

Googled the performance stats on this - if anything it shows how much engines and fuel systems have improved. The 2.5 litre petrol gave average fuel consumption of 22.2 mpg, and 0-60 time was 10.5 seconds. A lump of a car, but only 120 horsepower, which you'd get from an ordinary 1.8 nowadays.bobmunro said:IdleHans said:

Suspect it would feel a bit sluggish by modern standards.0 -

I had a 3 litre GXL Granada and the brakes were really good in comparison to the car I had before it, so much so that when I bought it I almost went through the windscreen when I stopped at the first junction! It seemed pretty fast to me (once again, compared to anything I'd driven before). Fuel consumption? Well, if I'd been worried about that I wouldn't have bought it.IdleHans said:

Every toy car I ever owned (& there were many thanks to my Bruvs influence) was eventually repainted with this livery.
I just loved it.0 -
No contest soapy, I would have picked a German tank over a British or American tank any day but tried to stay patriotic.soapy_jones said:1 -
It's only in the film briefly but I always liked the Chevy Nova in Carlito's Way. Nice understated paint job on it.

I’ve got these on display in our spare room (much to my wife’s annoyance) that I’ve collected over the years.

Was smashing it today on the wacky races scalextricMuttleyCAFC said:I love that car too. I was devastated in the episode where it won and was disqualified. And it always frustrated me why Dastardly was about to win but had to stop to scupper his rivals. He really held Muttley back, the bastard.

Not an outlandish car but the Audi RS4s used in layer cake are awesome cars and still very lumpy to buy think they used the B7 2003. I never owned one of these but I have driven a few and this was at a time VAG were really ahead of the time for engines and performance
I settled for a standard A4, still a nice motor and about 20k cheaper1
