ooh the sound, certainly not anything like a "mouse's heart"
more of a formula 1 snarl.
I believe the price is in the region of a 3 - 400 hp Fendt.
life is all about choices :rolleyes2::rolleyes2:

Perfect runaround for a Large tillage or beef barron. A dairy farmer wouldnt look after it.View attachment 62020 View attachment 62021 View attachment 62022 View attachment 62023 View attachment 62024 View attachment 62025 And unfortunately it's just today (quick spin)

Yeah but if it was 4wd you'd put up with the rest..No it wouldn't be what you'd call an "all rounder"
The back seat would accommodate two dwarfs:scratchhead::scratchhead:
No hitch, white interior.

His brother sales man in big the smoke
Ah Jaysus, there's always someone to blow your cover :tdown::tdown:
I was looking forward to spinning a good yarn to @CORK about how I funded my latest runabout.
Buoyant market for Bales of rushes or Friesian Bull's.
Or very favourable P.C.P. H.P. IOU never never, on the drip.
It's only dear the day you buy it .:eek3::eek3::eek3::scratchhead:
190mph is some savage speed on a public road regardless of vehicle brand! I wouldn't be brave enough...I was a passenger in a Nissan Bluebird doing 125mph once and also a Fiesta XR2i doing 110mph. Never again please!Doesn’t matter how you got to drive it, I’m insanely jealous.
Took an M5 for a fast spin on the Cashel bypass once, that was as powerful as I’ve ever driven.
Friend did 190mph on the same stretch in a Porsche.
Some of us need a bit of madness to stay sane.
Enjoy!

5 of us piled into a mark II fiesta years ago and got a mind boggling 96 mph out of it on the approach into (not Shannon) Borris in Ossory. The roars off the engine at that speed wouldn't have been out of place on a plane at take off. 4 speed box and boot loaded with beer and we weren't exactly starving to death either. The engine started puking a lot after that. When I think about what we were able to get away with only a few years ago and no harm done to anyone. The engine in the car was fcuked alright .I got a Hillman Hunter wound up to a shake over 90 mph once , going down a hill.
I could see an XR2i doing the 110 but the Bluebird doing 120 ?
A bluebird 1.6 litre was a fine car in its day, a luxury car even with its navy cloth velour seats all round. Rear wheel drive and there was a lot of fun to be had on back laneways. :eek3:I got a Hillman Hunter wound up to a shake over 90 mph once , going down a hill.

ended up going about 3 weeks ago, good day out , first we got a briefing about the track and tips on driving it and then we were let do a few laps in a mazda 3 to get used to the track ( which isn,t the full race track ) and then its onto the porsche 911 but while i was waiting for one to become available the instructor said we,d go for a spin in a boxter so i got 3 laps in that as a free bonus , then it was into the 911 and it was a blast with the roar of the engine and the acceleration i really enjoyed it but the laps go by quickly , if you,re into cars its a good outing and i love to try a single seater as you get 10 laps in those. its expensive for the length of time you,re there but the voucher broke the back in it for me and a few hints dropped and you,d have something to look forward to after christmas every yearHow did that go for you , @humungus ?
