Title: well I've licked my wounds and now I am back
Post by cossie_al on Sep 6^th, 2007, 9:45pm

As most of you will probably know by now I've sold my scorp to Rob who (I am pleased to see) is putting what was my engine to very good use if the photo in parts for sale is anything to go by. :D
Got to admit I feal like A family member has gone but, life goes on and I have been scouring various media for the scorps replacement.
I realy fancy a volvo s80 T6 se lux but a national search on auto trader shows nine, and none of them are near me.
God, am I sick of looking at cars >:( >:( >:(
But worse than that I have to use the wifes little french hatch back thing to go look at cars AAAARRRGGHH!!!!
Anyway I have spent five of the last eight weaks in spain soaking up plenty of sun and bear and as I said My scorp selling wounds are well on the way to being healed so its almost back to my grumpy old usual self then ;D ;D ;D

That Chrysler Crossfire 300 looks good, although the namby pamby scaredy cats say it doesn't do well in the crash tests.

Who gives a stuff, the idea is not to crash it. :-*

Would an E-Type Jag or a Morris Minor do really well in todays impact tests ?

I thought the Crossfire was basically a Mercedes with different outer body panels ???
Surely crash test performance would be very similar to the equivalent Merc ???
But as you say, the idea is not to crash it.

I can remember back in the days when we had static seat belts - not inertia reel, toughened windscreens were standard, laminated an optional extra, no such thing as ABS, air bags or seat belt pre-tensioners, no side impact bars - I just don't know how we are all still here !

Ahh yes! the days of the first car.
I remember being over the moon when I got a whole 105mph from my 1.1 fiesta.
now those were the days :D
Or now that I drive a french car perhaps that should be

Ahh oui ! les jours de la première voiture.
Je me rappelle d'être au-dessus de la lune quand j'ai obtenu un 105mph entier de ma fiesta 1.1.
maintenant tels étaient les jours ;D ;D ;D
