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: Declaration of Improper Parking
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2009 14:34:53 +0000
Author: Nathan Schmidt

When in the Course of my normal day, it becomes necessary for one person to consume more resources than anyone else may choose to consume, and to assume my greater importance on this earth, that I have more rights than you to which the Laws of Nature and my God entitle to me, with no respect for other opinions of mankind requires me to declare my superiority of choice over everyone else.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that my need for parking is greater than thou, that I am endowed by my Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are proximity, convenience, and the persistence of apathy.  That to secure these rights, I institute my vehicle among others, driving just powers from the tons of steel and plastic, that whenever any parking space could hold my girth, it is my right to take it despite the vehicles around me, and institute my will, for my convenience of consumerism and disorganizing others, so that I may be most happy.  Prudence, indeed, is lost on my will long established should not be changed for guilt or logic; and accordingly all entitlement hath shewn, that mankind is disposed to suffer, for my evils are insufferable, than to park in another spot by eliminating my convenience to which I am obviously entitled.  But when a long train of cars and trucks, pursuing invariably the same intent evinces a wrath to extremes, where it is my right, it is my sole entitlement, to throw out common courtesy and decency, to create my own opportunities, and provide new parking for my needs.  Such has been the impatience and greed of my life; and now is the necessity of my ego which constrains me to do nothing else other than my own choosing.  The history of my fenders and doors is displayed in dents and dings, all having direct consequence of my actions of absolute superiority over a parking lot.  To prove this, I dare you to park next to me.
