You can drive all manner of technologically enhanced 4s and 6s and but nothing can match that sensation of 8 angry cylinders demanding a heavy foot from its driver. It's a motor that just seems p1ssed off when idling... grumbling and gurgling and wobbling about at the lights! But when those 8 cylinders come into harmony under strong acceleration... ah, bliss!

A mate of mine has a 60's (forget which year) mustang that he tinkers with. You know when he's coming or going, and looks amazing.

E Type Jaguar V12
Is there a sexier looking car?
Lucky enough to go for a cruise in the Adelaide Hills in one that was fully restored and ooooh the noise. O:-)
The interior was superb and the cigarette lighter was labeled 'Cigar'. Just classic.
Dream Car.

I feel the same way about VW EB. Last one I owned was a Beetle 1500 back in the 70s. Was not sorry to see that go and the emmissions scandal was the final straw, ensuring I will never buy VW again. What do you think of the Lexus UX?
