What a car.............

I love the garish yellow and the nice cheery red..

They are a good look, only downside is pipe and slipper car, but then hey, most of us on here drive ex taxi rather than ex police car.....LOL

My cousin had one and it regularly did 160 mph....

Was still a bit of a tank so we were reluctant to go any faster.
