..a friends "Bugeye" (Frogeye in Jolly olde) and the technique was to hold the pedal to the floor and use the gearbox to control the speed.
Driving an underpowered car can be lots of fun 'cause you are going balls-out all the time even if you aren't goin' very fast. Maybe a good excuse for a diesel Cobra?
In my youth I had friends buy such fun cars as a twin-cam MGA for a whopping $200.00, a Porsche 356 coupe for $100.00 (blown motor, he installed a 412 motor with fuel injection and drove away...
I turned down a Ferrari GTB longnose for $5500.00 cause the clutch was "little weak"...(plus the fact I didn't have $5500...)
And didn't buy CSX3327 due to the fear of the $70.00 monthly payment that I needed to make up the difference in my cash posistion...and that was a 24 month loan!! Not todays 60-72-84 month stuff!
Ah, to be young and stupid
