Good game!

Wrong Germans I'm afraid.
This thread was almost quite amusing until the boys with the wee-winkies-but-big-motors got involved.
Anyway, because we all know how the truth is [i]inverse proportion[/i]:
Skoda Superb 1.4: 123
Vitamix blender thing: 2h
125 total.
Don't be so disappointed that you aren't the Alpha male
But challenge some of these so called "alpha males" with the powerful cars to a race, and you'll be surprised how quickly they shrivel up.
Some of the fastest lads I know drive Vauxhalls and Fords.
Skoda Fabia 59bhp.
So that's a total of 59bhp!
I drive a Ford, he's talking about me
😀
I drive a Ford too - he's not talking about me 😉
It's not surprising households have more than one car, that makes up a lot of horsepower if you add them together (like mine)
I wonder what we'd do if we had to rely on just one vehicle per household..
Skoda Fabia 59bhp.
Why would anyone buy a 59bhp car? It's got to be more painful than walking, surely?
Hairdryer, 1.5hp.
Mine 184bhp, hers 184bhp so a nice round 368bhp all in.
In days gone by it would've been, mine 234bhp hers 100bhp but mine was a NA 1800cc Honda 😆
250ish
My Exeo - 170
My Wife'a Astra 80, or was, maybe 50 now, it's not well.
I'm after something a bit faster next time and petrol, I've been living on scraps for years.
Vicinity of 185 in the car (old dyno run, it's had some new bits since then, some of which probably cost power)
80 in the bike (if it still goes, hasn't moved in a couple of years)
Vauxhall Zafira 1.6 petrol , so not a lot . 70 ?
I drive a Ford too - he's not talking about me
Yours is a pick-up!
148, 2 cars.
'Fast is a foreign country. They do things differently there.'

We've just got a new hoover, it's 1400W, that very nearly 2 horsepower! In a hoover! No wonder the world is so energy hungry!
(Cars: i3 170bhp, 335 300bhp, Seat 600 odd, so call it 1072 for the family when we are hoovering..... 😉

Why would anyone buy a 59bhp car? It's got to be more painful than walking, surely?
Short version:
We all have different priorities.
Long version:
It does 75mph comfortably all day (French Autoroutes), does 50mpg most of the time, is comfy and had A/C. I'm rarely the slowest thing on the road either! I've had cars with 300+bhp before and while it's fun I prefer the more relaxed driving of less power these days, the roads are that busy and potholed that it's hard to enjoy a good blast these days. It's also more fun hustling it along a B-road trying to carry as much momentum as possible than point-and-squirt in a big, powerful car.
