And every single one of them wearing an expensive watch with an eBay NATO strap.

I have not seen this as yet. Is it because mine is a convertible?

Yeah, even bog standard TDs are plenty pokey. I mean, my Mondeo had gobs of midrange shove before it was remapped - and in the right gear, at the right revs etc post remap would probably keep up with the 330, for a few seconds at least.
