The early A320s MYT/TCX had (the first one I ever flew was MSN193) had the old, first generation IAE V2500s with inherent significant performance restrictions. It never happened to me personally but I remember a colleague being stuck for a couple of hours at NCL waiting for the wind to change sufficiently for them to be able to depart.

Engaging the TOGA Bump function on those engines always gave a marvellous grinding noise. Never sounded particularly healthy!
