    Got to be the E-Type Jaguar, that car is just phenomenal, even today it doesn't look dated.

    Why is it that American muscle cars never handle very well and deliver a stupidly small power output for the size of their engines?

    But I do like some US cars, but not those Submeg mentioned as I think both are horrible. For a decent Dodge I would personally have to choose the Charger. Now that is a cool car and another car I would love to own.

    I love british and european sports cars such as the lotus esprit turbo and the lambourghini diablo but i have a real soft spot for older american muscle cars. The shelby mustang is outclassed by the cobra - supposedly the reason we have a max speed limit in this country!

    Indeed. When the first motorway was opened in the UK it had no speed limit, but then the police caught a Cobra doing a ridiculous speed on it so added the speed restrictions.

    Sadly I also read recently that Germany are going to be adding speed limits to their Autobahns soon too.

    Darn. And here I was enjoying cruising along the 'Bahns at 220+ km/h. Seriously, how do they expect people to get around a large country like that at 100 km/h max? It'd take ages to get anywhere. Plus, is there any statistical proof that a speed limit of 100 km/h leads to less incidents compared to a limit of, say, 160 km/h?

    It is the stupid manoeuvres that motorists make, along with a lack of observation or basic car control that cause accidents, not generally speed. People changing lanes without indicating, driving in the middle lane of the motorway without anything in the inside lane. Not knowing which lane to use or when to indicate at a roundabout, how to use a junction etc...

    But even worse is how so many people don't seem to know how to drive when the weather is bad. So many people drive in very bad visibility without their fog lights on. They think it is only when there is fog, but this week the rain here has been very bad, combined with very strong winds, and on the motorways the visibility was down to about 2 car lengths so rear fog lights were essential. Some of the drivers didn't even have their normal lights on!
