Quote:
Aaltonen, now 79 - and former winner of both the European and Finland rally championships, and Australia's Bathurst 500, says of his experience with the BMW i3:

"Once you understand it, it's great fun. And it feels like you would be in a car with 1,000 horsepower...I didn't expect the BMW i3 can be driven in drift so beautifully."

From a Maltese P car site I was directed to:



Allegedly a CGT sans bodywork - I can’t say I’ve ever seen one like that before.




















Someone in Malta’s got great tastes!

So right! I remember a Porsche story about a customer who had got lucky with some female and sent a sample of her lipstick in to get his custom order 911 painted with.

the outside colors I could live with, it was the interiors that were an eyesore





If I would have been working there, as a leather upholstery person
Like if I was the best at my job and they says, well this is for an imporant customer, we need your best skills

I would have been like
Ok, fine, but I'm only doing this monstrocity if you give me a 964 in black on black on black for my own self, so I can cleanse my mind when I drive home from working on this .

Also, I will only work on 1 individual interior part at a time, At no time Shall I be subjected to more then 3 major components of this interior.

I see no other way, it would cause me to much stress and I can't take that home to my wife and kids. It's not fair to them

Take it or leave it .
