Title: How much??
Post by: Don Pamponi on March 08, 2004, 07:31:21 PM
Hello chaps

I\'m new to this game, currently looking for a good gen 1.

Getting slightly scared by mpg figures tho.

Just read that gen 3\'s do 15 mpg!!!  Be cheaper to run a jag V12.

Somebody tell me gen 1s do a bit more milage per pound.

Ya fur sure

the old ones look real slinky, then they went square and Tron like, and the new ones look like a halibut.

Personal preference possible, i love the way my car looks, it does get called a banana from time to time.  Try posting this in the rotary chit chat section i think u may be in the minority :D
