I would have to rate the rubber suspension Mini Cooper, fitted with a 1275 cc race engine I owned for racing, as being maximum road fun, and very, very quick. Now that car represented the pinnacle of practical British engineering, sadly spoiled by the trade unions. Isagonis (spelling?) taught the world how to make a motor car. Quote:
Cheers, Trevor.
