Nope. Brussels centre of Satan's work - the EU.

old beetles are great damnit!
Like this:I love beetles! Did you know they can float!
Indeed, my friend had a Beetle where you had to crack a window or your ears would pop when the door was shut.
It also has 150 HP. And yes, it does lift the front wheels off the ground full throttle from a stop.
Not back when they had tiny engines and swing axles, they weren't.
That's so fucked up it's hilarious.
The worst I've seen was a Series 2 XJ12 with a "Corvette" engine. A smog-neutered lump of useless V8 from a 1972 Corvette, that is. What a waste of an XJ12!
You sure about that? My father's 1994 XJ40 XJ6 S was bulletproof in comparison to his Series III. That car had some serious gremlins, it refused to start up half the time, the RAA (Royal Automobile club, the roadside assistance guys) were always around to get the car started. Once the horn just went off and got stuck for no apparent reason. A garbage man had to help my mum turn it off. Not just ours though, it wasn't nearly as bad as one of my friend's Series III, which would suddenly stall while driving with no warning, whatsoever...
You don't understand.... the 305s most of these idiots use make *less* power than the original Jaguar engine does.
Fuel economy, man!Yeah, that's the other really common one. Usually those engines only have 150-180hp in reality... which begs the question of why someone swapped a 180hp engine into a V12 car that had a 272hp engine to begin with (and usually the original Jag V12 isn't dead, which makes it even more puzzling!)
