I was near one of these the other day

Still impressive acceleration on the straights

But by God it was bad in the corners

I could certainly see where the oft-quoted yank reputation had some basis

as you'd expect - lovely!

and it was yellow - road runner style

there have been quite a few classic yanks out and about over the last week - maybe coming up to a big show or two?

Chest wigs at the ready

Joking aside, by the sounds of things they drive just as I thought they would. Make a nice noise, go fast in a straight line but try to slow it down or go round a corner and the experience changes somewhat.

I think a transit would have out-corned the car I saw any day of the week

a Mk1 Transit at that!

Not a particular criticism of the car btw

Roads tend to be long and straight in the states
