I once drove the late Andrew McLagans Augusta from his then home in Brussels to Boulogne. A day to remember! We avoided motorways, a cousin sat beside me reading maps while Andrew sat in the back with his morning paper. The car was a delight and could easily keep up with modern traffic, outside of motorways at least. The gearbox, operated by this very long stick that disappears in the floor somewhere near your feet required only a few centimeters of movement between gears and shifting gears felt like a Swiss watch, and even though the engine is only small the swift operation of the gearbox, up as well as down, made up for this and we attained a surprisingly high average speed. Brakes, too, are more than adequate and almost feel like a modern car. On the way down a hill I overlooked one corner and took it way too fast. I hold my breath, steered into the corner and to my surprise nothing much happened. The car oversteered somewhat but was easily corrected. Andrew looked up from his paper and luckily accepted my apologies, and we continued our way to Boulogne at almost the same speed.. Andrew passed away last year, but hopefully his Augusta remains forever. What a gem of a car it is!

Volendola comprare quanto costerebbe?...certamente parlo di un auto in ordine che possa consentire una guida tranquilla.

We never even got a chance to see the car! All you did throughout was drive the car. That is very poor of you.
