Who cares, aioo? He went into a psycho rant and caused his own demise.
When the Jaguar E-Type was launched in March 1961, Enzo Ferrari called it “the most beautiful car ever made.” he then said that the only fault that he could find was: "It didn't sport a Ferrari badge."View attachment 335748 When I first saw an RF back in 2016 (2017 was the first year) my jaw dropped. They updated it in 2019 with an updated engine, so I drove one finally and it was just such a throw back of a car.
I do wonder how comfy I'll be wearing my car coat in this car though lol... Only one way to find out.
hell yeah. Lots of fun to be had on 2 wheels. Dirt, flat track, supermoto, mini moto and road racing. I love it all.

You could say much the same about the RF, the only thing that I can fault is, to miss quote Enzo, "It doesn't have an MG badge." It has taken the styling DNA from MG and added a much superior small sports car. If Mazda had acquired the MG marque, along with the R & D department, it makes you wonder what kind of cars would be gracing our roads.
Instead, The Shanghai Auto Industry Co acquired the MG name and all the rights to go with it and they give MG lovers, this:

Yeah what happened to him? Banned after his rant? He hasn’t been here for a while.Anyone else have the feeling there’s a vaguely familiar biker from Australia who would have loved this thread?
been there.....then I went Japanese......having a car that regularly passes its MOT with no advisories is strangely satisfying......
oh yeh and I'm committed to driving or riding weird vehicles!

That's much older than my first Saab. And what city is that with such a photogenic dock?
That's my Dad's current mower. It's also the reason he'll never buy John Deere again. The engine was poorly made, it eats oil, and smokes like a chimney.
We had a ‘99 Saab 9-5 that was a great car! Unfortunately I crashed it. Barely felt a thing, but the insurance co totaled it and replaced it with a 2000 model—- looked the same but it was a completely different car...a horrible lemon that cost us an arm and a leg! Stick to the pre-2000 Swedish ones, not the GM version.Another ridiculous purchase... Not a jacket this time. 1999 Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon. View attachment 341941 View attachment 341942
What a coincidence! That's the exact same fate that befell my '99 9-3! A guy was inching into the intersection in the left turn lane to turn when the light hit green, and I made a tight left on stale green, smashing both our front ends. I ended up using the insurance payout for a down payment on my current car. I loved that 9-3, it was a great car. I was actually needing to buy a new one anyway, as it was nearing 20 years old at that point, and was becoming a money pit. The driver's side window, for example, ceased to work, among a myriad of other minor issues. My current car isn't as luxurious, but at least it's less than a decade old.We had a ‘99 Saab 9-5 that was a great car! Unfortunately I crashed it.

It's a wee bit nippy, but I changed from a triumph speed triple r so there's a big drop in power & torque, but on the plus side it handles so much better,^^ Looks fabulous - and quite quick as well!
