The Arnold - Bristol were quite impressive. Bristol were making better motors than Rolls Royce. I'm not surprised of the asking price being up to twice that of the Corvette. Bristol made the sports cars Rolls Royce would have been proud of but couldn't make - they just weren't in that segment. I'm surprised of the specs of the motor... +25 years later most cars around the 2.0L displacement weren't even having those specs. 90-110 HP were more like it. An Opel Kadett E 1988 2.0L GSI had 148 HP and 145 ft/lbs torque at 6,000 rpm. Around 10% better specs on the engine 30 years later. Quite respectable for a hot hatch. In the late 50's in a small sports car... Punching way above their weight. I like a lot of oldschool (sports)cars. Not because of the power - they don't have impressive specs by the standards of today. But they were small and nimble. I like oldschool for two reasons #1 the analog feedback #2 the car not being better than the driver. I don't want launch control - it's the car and the software doing the job for you. I prefer something that tells me when I'm about to drive above my skills. As a daily driver I would prefer a modern car - they're more reliable and safer. However I do miss the sensation of driving and not being driven. Of course in a Tesla you've got the option of getting artificial fart noises. If I want fart noises in my fart can - I would be getting burritos at Taco Bell....
Thanks for the analysis! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
