Sporting isn`t always about outright speed as I`m finding with the Ti

:S



Those little Fiats are fun to drive round town and back roads - you can

have a *lot* of pretty pure driving enjoyment without breaking the

speed limits (just as well as it`s not pretty if you crash one). I miss

driving the Cinquecento but not the ex who owned it. My friend`s

modified Lancia Y10 Turbo was a much bigger hoot though and its 1.0

engine did 11MPG :D

They`re slower than they are quicker in a straight line.

It _feels_ fast, but it`s not.



Sorry, but 55 PS and 1.1 litres, plus just over 700 kg, is _not_ fast.



200 PS, 2.0 litres, 900 kg might be.

Title: what a waste of time.

Author: gawa

So here I am, making a new blog since my previous one was kind of a bust. The day before I write my first CSC exam. It’s so hard to study in front of a computer, and I really should get back to studying. Mad procrastination.
¬_¬

Anyways, hopefully I’ll be a little more successful at regularly updating this blog. To end the first post, here’s some pictures of post-Imporfest 2009. Congrats to Caleb for getting 3rd in the 06-09 Civic/CSX category. It’s well deserved.
