I had mine for 4 years Skruntie & it never went wrong once! I've had the miggy for just under 10 months & it has been a constant headache! Mind you, i'm older now but not much wiser and that's why I fell in love with the miggy  ;) :y

Your a picky lot - I'd settle for something that just ran for a year without breaking down...

totally agree mate!!the Aston looks gorgeous and the cobra is a classic. For me , the rear of the TVR looks crap, the Rolls is simply too big and overblown, the Masserati is good looking but not in the Aston's league and the ferrari-well, I dont know many people who would choose a prancing horse over an Aston given the choice.....as for the allegro I know of people who never had any problems with them whatsoever and then there was my ex's who's gearbox fell out when she stopped at the lights ;D

Quentin Wilson when asked ''what is the best car you've ever driven'', replied that one of then was a proper 427 Cobra. He was pootling down a main street somewhere & wanted to overtake the car infront. He gave it a boot full ...... then he was facing where he'd just come from!  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Apparently he has crashed more than that for Top gear.

If I won I dunno whether to have a tow bar fitted to my Vetron.

I think my garage would be bigger than the house though.

Think I'm in agreement with all those except for the Rolls - far too ostentatious for my liking, wouldn't have one even if I had Bill Gates' fortune. ::)

I still have a vision in my mind from the first trip to Le mans in the Westfield. Me and 2 mates cruising in convoy up a rather great hill (3 lane single carriageway) on the N138.

An Esprit V8, 911 and, IIRC and Ferrari 456 who we'd been playing with went past us, absolutely flat out.

Saw a 427 Cobra looming in the rear view mirror and he breezed up round the outside of the lot of us without even trying (I'd be surprised if he hit 4,000 RPM).  :o ;D
