Calm down this is not what most of you are thinking.
Phils little French hotties thread got me thinking of those cars that I lusted after in my teenage years, not the poster showgirls bought from the local Athena shop but the more normal mass produced stuff.
For me my teenage years were focussed on the 5 letter word Turbo and the very first mass produced road cars that I lusted after were the original Saab 99 Turbo and the Renault 18 Turbo both these models were sporty variants of boring boxes but the addition of that word Turbo made all the difference. I have never owned either but I have driven easy versions of both and the word LAG comes to mind, the time between pressing the throttle and the power arriving is just senseless in the days. People talk about turbo lag on Delta Integrales, Montego Turbos etc. from the 90s and yes there is a hesitancy but nothing like the turbos from the late 70s it was almost if Postman Pat was delivering the request by snail mail.
So come on we have a fair spread of ages in this forum so I suspect we have a fair spread of teenage lusts, what's yours?
