Richard Hammond listed his top Q cars today in the Daily Mirror."They look like Grandma but go like Jenson Button.
MG/Rover ZT/75 V8,
VW Passat W8,
BMW Alpina B7(7 series),
Chrysler 300C SRT-8,
Austin Rover Montego Turbo, ,
Citroen Xantia V6 8) ."In the mid 90`s,manuracurers got into the habit of sticking large engines into their mid sized saloons,often with some interesting results.Citroen,for example,stuck its 3.0 ltr V6 in the Xantia saloon.Most people bought the Xantia with a turbo diesel or 2.0 ltr petrol.But a handfull of buyers unaware of petrol costs bought the Xantia V6.Today,they`re a dirt cheap-dont pay more than £1000-smooth & quick 3rd hand motor."
