Crimbo
I've run out of interesting things to say, perhaps I did a long time ago. But anyway I've decided to do a list. Here are cars I have driven (excluding hire cars) or owned (with an asterisk), with their bhp:Fiat Uno 55 45 bhp
Rover 216i 120 bhp
Renault Laguna 100 bhp
Renault Megane coupe 100 bhp
Honda CRV 160 bhp
Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6i 102 bhp
Ford Ka 1.3 Collection* 60 bhp
Mazda Bongo Friendee* 160 bhp
That's a bit boring. How about computers I have owned (or had to use, ie my dad owned them and there's quite few as he worked in computers for schools) in rough chronological order, and an estimated speed (and no comments that mhz is not a good measure)
Commodore Pet 1mhz
Mattel Intellivision ?
BBC Micro B 2mhz
Spectrum 48k 3.5 mhz
Nimbus something or other ?
Commodore 64 1-2 mhz
Commodore Amiga 8 mhz
Acorn Archimedes 8 mhz
Apple Macintosh Plus 7 mhz
Apple Macintosh II 16 mhz
Apple Macintosh IIci 25 mhz
Apple Powerbook 130i 25 mhz
Apple Macintosh Quadra 660AV 25 mhz
Sony Playstation 34 mhz
Sega Dreamcast 200 mhz
Sony Playstation II 300 mhz
Sony Vaio 600 mhz
Evesham Micros 2400XP 2400 mhz
Dell 5000 3000 mhz
From that I conclude the pace of technological improvement in cars is slower than computers. And no-one also comment about the bloody fake Microsoft press release about if cars were like computers. If you want boring recycled stories go and read Nick Cohen.
