Follwoing on from the motor vehicle debate, I can vouch for Hondas although the power range does tend to come at high revs.  Therefore, for mid-range torque, the finest motor vehicle ever created was the thinking man's BMW itself, the SAAB 900 Turbo:

I sold this wonderful vehicle for a 50% profit earlier this year and I wish I'd kept it.  The complete motor vehicle, easily leave behind a 5-series at traffic lights, even with an Ikea wardrobe in the boot.

 

Aye you're not wrong. The V-Tec give Hondas their power at high revs which is fine but not in place of a Turbo. I've always been an admirer of Swedish motors. Solid, well-built and fast enough too.  :thumbsup:

 

That Saab looks awful, though.

Back in 2003 I had a Volvo V70 TD only had 85000miles, fast as fuck for a diesel but the engine committed suicide in a big way.....totall write off. So I sold it as a non-runner at auction for £2200.

 

I'd NEVER have another Volvo after that.

 

Luckily I'd not sold my Xantia diesel estate, eventually ran up over 200 000 miles and was still going strong when I sold it.

Fans Admit They Have No Clue Why They Want Former Player To Manage

 

November 24, 2010 | ISSUE 46•46

 

KANSAS CITY, MO—Local fans admitted today they have no clue why they desperately want a former star player to manage their favorite team next year, saying that if they looked at the situation rationally, he really has no managerial experience whatsoever.

 

"I guess I really like the idea of him putting on the uniform again, but I think that's only because it reminds me of how much I cheered for him when he was a player, and has pretty much nothing to do with his actual coaching ability," said fan Michael Hugel, adding that for some reason he would be† happier if the job went to the former player as opposed to somebody he's never heard of, even if the unknown person was clearly better suited for the position.

 

"It's not like [the former player] would be playing. He would just be sitting there making decisions he's probably not qualified to make. Yet I still think it would pretty cool. Why am I being so irrational?"

 

Hugel later added that hiring the former player would be worth it for the moment when his name is announced on opening day.
