Basically, once a car can healthily keep up with traffic and safely overtake the red Rover 214i doing 40 mph on the A road between your office and your house (which all of the cars in this thread can do very easily), then frankly, the rest is about as relevant as comparing the size of your genitalia.


I think we all enjoyed that one. A lot!
