Knew someone with a Porche - 911 I think. Used to race it. Was a Garage owner, so he used to take out the engine/rear end to change the spark plugs - a 15 min job that would turn into four hours if you left the engine in.... :-)

The Fiat 128 was better than any mini - stuck to the road like pigeonshit (if you'll pardon the expression!) - was seriously underpowered though - a 2 litre V6 would have made it better - and unregisterable, most likely... the Arbarth Version gave the 5 litre rear drive big guys a run for their money at Bathurst one year, but it didn't rain...
