[s-cars] LAC: Bond, James Bond - JNR

[qshipq at aol.com]

 Or say "candy man" three times?? Yes, my first foray into the turbo world was with a built 225hp GLHturbo (non S).? 17psi no intercooler, and one the fastest/nimblest car I've driven period.? 2.1 turns lock to lock steering.? At 2300lbs with A/C, a really light shoebox on wheels.? My JNR moment with mine was racing some volvo turbo in Michigan, and just over 130mph, the windshield wipers started to lift off the glass.? The guy in the volvo was laughing as was I.? 

All my tickets for speeding were in that car, one I still have framed - at 124 ("slowing down" was written in the comment section...? Back when the speed limit was 55)

More JNR moments were not in my life for another 10years until the LT1Q topped the sillyness factor.? I have a 3x4 foot poster picture of the GLH turbo in my office as a reminder to get a grip (with quattro).? Overboost motronic from Bosch, 7 years before the urS4 too.

As C&D put it at the time, "like an ax, crude but effective."

Cheers
