A conversation on another forum suggested that anything with a turbo is a sports car, so I wanted to post a pic of my car... :oops:

Ah so!

Many trucks have turbos, would that make them sport trucks?
F1 cars don't have turbos, would that make them non-sporty?

Apparently so... :lol:

Actually it started off with someone comparing a Nissan Figaro to a Skyline (don't ask), then it was pointed out that the Figaro has a turbo, therefore suggesting that it is infact a sports car is valid... it all got a bit silly after that....

I used to work in the sales department of a turbocharger manufacturer. Believe me 99% of turbo applications do not involve any kind of sports car..... :lo

Now turbo bikes.......hmmmmmm now that's a different story.

please, we must never speak in public of the link between me, you, and the rover 418.

actually, just never speaking about rover 418's in general wouldn't be a bad thing.
