I've always thought that an Austin Ambassador looked very like a
DeLorean....... from a distance...now that definitely IS a poor mans
DeLorean.

Hello all,

I've just returned from helping my mate buy his first car; a VW Scirocco
GT2!

I just thought I'd bring this up because of the well-known fact that it was
also designed by Guigaro, for which it bares a strong resemblance to the
DeLorean.

I have to say that the Scirocco feels a lot like a DeLorean on the road.
The automatic gearbox feels the same, the steering is the same weight, and
the driving position is about the same height off the ground.

It really is DeLorean-style motoring on a shoe-string.

So for all you members out there that want a D, but like me the bank manager
won't let you yet, then get out there and find yourself a nice Scirocco;
because you'll get pretty much just as many people looking at it as would if
you were in the genuine article.

See you in the future.

Regards,

Mike.
