Manual for me - an auto would suck all the fun out of my Midship Amusement, and leave me with Midship Unpleasantness (and even less torque).

@wild zero: Bizarre serial killings aside, Adelaide ain't THAT bad - and our whoopee-weed is excellent (plus we don't mix it with tobacco like some perverts in the eastern states do - ick!).

Given that my daily driver is 660ccs of Midship Amusement, you can guess that I'm a top-end power kinda guy - makes me smile.

Not meaning to nitpick or anything, but surely the 512TR engine was longitudinally mounted (like the 365BB, 512BB and Testarossa before it) - not that it'll exactly bolt right onto the 912's transaxle, but it's gotta help.

Much as I love the Alfa 2600, I voted Triumph Roadster 'cause by dad used to own one - though not the 1800 version, but the 2-litre Standard Vanguard engine'd one.
