Does anyone else read these in the voice of Alan Partridge?

“With a mere ninety break-horse-power available, progress is too leisurely to be called fast, but on the motorway in fifth gear the Megane’s slow pace really becomes a pain.

Yes, a staunch ally of automotive Tat, I have tried to tempt him into Wedgie ownership before, but currently has his eyes set on rescuing Protons...
