What would be the Best of British?
I matched the "Hurricane" to an XK120 Jag & an E Type Jag & it makes me happy. Tried the Aston Martin DB5 years back (brought at a Post office vehicles auction??

But thats another long story)

I chased an S2000 down SH22 a couple days ago. He was going all right eh... pity I was continuing south because he turned around at Nigger Why Grow Hair and headed straight back up.

I already had the perfect match for my bike....an '88 Mazda Crapella, but I got talked into buying a poxy BMW...which is ok but maybe a Lada or a Skoda would suit better.

There are at least 3 RS200 in NZ one is in Auckland and owed by a guy who does rallies in it. A friend had a Atom and that thing was just plan fast but not to comfortable to get high speeds because it was so Twisty but through corners marked between 25 and 70 the thing was just amazing. I nearly spun it when I was hard on it.

Well after doing 1500km in the weekend only one car past me It was an old 1980's Holden Calise 5000cc thing. We were on some back roads he was hitting the corners very hot like only a local would know. I was quite happy letting him go past. So my match was a Holden

My bike is more then twice as powerfull as my car. And 5X lighter. Both suzukis though.

Oddly enough, I had someone in what looked like an oldish white 5L Holden sedan have a go on the Napier-Taupo road on the weekend, in the last uphill passing lane in the sweepers through the set of hills before you head down toward Eskdale.

I rather suspect that it was a little 'breathed upon', because I found it necessary to apply moderate throttle in fourth gear and a certain amount of lean through the corners before I had him shrinking in my mirrors. Are cars supposed to be able to do twice the speed limit up hills?
