how'd the 944 get on? The journo picks his favourite as the Alfa, and doesn't really rank the others, tbh. He seems to compare the E30 to the Moggy Minor (because they've got four seats!), the 944 to the TVR and the VX220, and then the Alfa, the MG and the Sunbeam get compared.. Quentin Willson, ho...

In this month's Classic Cars magazine.. car comes out pretty well I think. Weird bunch of cars to test it against though.. which I thought as soon as I turned up for the shoot! Funnily enough, I own a VX220 as well (now).. Another epic car! http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t62/jim_strugs/April2017...

You want to know how to adjust this valve, but I have no idea what it is - someone clever will be along shortly!
