Go well. Wasn't too impressed with the way it handled (I might have driven a bad one).
Everyone I've spoken to who has one seems to have problems (big problems) with them sooner or later.
No, I think you drove a normal one.
The GTO made it in to Richard Porters' "Book of Crap Cars," alongside other class acts such as the aircooled VW Beetle and the Austin Allegro.
The text in the book said that whilst the car looked sporty, it was anything but.
Apparently, however, the stereo is excellent.
Hmmmmmmmmmm...

I've never driven one but I have just bought a broken twin turbo version and it looks fantastic. They are easily tuned to 350bhp so I can't imagine it not being fun. It's a heavy car though so perhaps a normally aspirated will be a bit slow.
it was good in a straight line but just didn't really raise much of a smile round corners for me

Have only exp with the TT model,IT had handling probs as I recall.Admittedly it was quite a tatty example tho.
Is it a local sale Batty? The guy with the lorry haulage biz? If it is pm me.

I'll let you know what I think when I've sorted the car (will be some time) but I'm not too bothered anyway as my main reason for buying is to commute on snowy days (4WD).
Gansta! There's nowt in my inbox chap.

Erm. It's going to be chuffing useless in the snow mate. Big fat performance tyres just don't work in the snow, even when they have 4wd. A oil burning fiesta on narrow cheap tyres is probably a lot more useful.

I expect it will be good in the snow. My Scoob was excellent in the snow, better than any Fiesta, and it had wide tyres. Anyway, I'm NOT driving a Fiesta
