Cars with character.

I reckon the aircon does have a noticeable affect on power. Theres definitely an increase in mpg too. With the aircon on my car won't even reverse up our driveway without some serious clutch burning anticts.

Consequently I drive mostly with the aircon switched off and window down to enjoy the full power potential of the engine and listen to its wonderful sound. If it does go on its usually while I'm sat in traffic.


The aircon also gives me a sore throat and a runny nose. I'd rather suffer these syptoms for a good reason ie. window down, great noise and max bhp rather than from sittng in a cool coccooned silence!
