I had a flame red MG Maestro Turbo with the word T U R B O emblazoned on each side of the car. I was a company car and many moons ago. Twas fast as fcuk.

I have three lingering memories of her...

1) Had a erm... run with a new 16v Astra GTE down the A12 from Ipswich to Brentwood on the way back from a business meeting. Not been between the two places quicker or as quick since

2) In my home town, thought I'd show the girls a burn-out. Loads of revs, drop the clutch and the said clutch just fried and the car didn't move an inch.

3) Filled the single SU dashpot up with oil even though the top was secured with a clip. Started the car and was imediately hidden by a cloud of burnt oil...well you had to regularly fill the dash pot up on my own MG Metro and I thought the turbo would be the same...WRONG!

Nice quick car
