“Looks like an imported MR2 from here. Very powerful cars that need careful driving as my son had one. It would flick round it not driven well. He had 248 bhp from his and it accelerated to .. well above speed limit in seconds. Frightened me rather as you sit on the floor too.
He has calmed down now with a wife and son. Back to an Avensis estate, slowed him right down.”
