And before that, AC Cobra and the De Tomaso Mangusta.

You mean because it is a pickup and not a jeep?

As I said before, in Europe we have the expensive small car un which you can have pretty much many of the features of bigger cars (matrix LED headlamps, digital cockpits etc.) in a smaller package.

It’s deeply stupid, but there is something oddly satisfying about a 700bhp off roader that you can buy off a dealer with a factory warranty.

However if you festoon your car with the go faster-related hardware except the go faster engine, then yes you’ve got an…

Jaguars have always had a whiff of drivers cars about them, even in the 70’s and 80’s.

Think about the fun you didn’t have discovering it on the go at triple digits!
