Scooby p1 would be my pick of that bunch, do you still have it?

A local lad who buys and sells pretty much everything has a 22b. I think they are based on the P1. I had the old RA wrx. It was fast but I never really trusted it going fast into a bend

Surely the handling especially in the twisties is the best thing about them?!

Re the P1, no the wife made me get rid of it 6 months after I brought it. I brought it new after my heart attack as a gift to my self for surviving. Only issue is it brought the worst out of me.

Your cars reminded me I also had a R32,Mk4 it was a nice car. Massive Koenig seats.
Also
Lotus Elan (it was a dog)
TR6. Good in a straight line, but not round corners.

XR2
MR2 twin turbo
MX5 supercharger

A3 S Line Convertible.

The lads have had some mental stuff,
Lancia delta Intergrale
91plate LHD M3
911’s various
944

Best was a kit car that ran a R1 engine and was under 500kg, it was ****ing lethal.

As I’ve said before Evos are far superior handling wise. The RA was still a good car, I just got the feeling the back end was loose because of the centre active diff control. It seemed to favour the rear wheels too much

I have had 2 vauxhall astra estates that were duel fuel, not very fast but does that mean this topic is no longer OT

Cars I miss, MG Magnette series ZA, police spec. I loved it, valve radio, leather sests and walnut dash. It had hardened suspension and high compression, police spec engine. Once I put radials on it it was on rails. My SAAB 9000 was the most comfortable.

Not sure my knees would allow me to get in, or out, of those cars without help.

Beautiful looking motors.
