well my first slight mishap happend today got the car drove the car over took somethings went quite fast then got the car home and realised my electric gates lock was 95mm high and the car has 90mm ground clearance

so a quick call to a friend with tarmac and viola one raised drive enterance by 30mm to accomodate said monster.

ROFLMFAO my wife went ape sh[t

picture the scene

wife "what the hell has happend to the drive"

me "what? nothing dear"

wife "like hell nothing"

me "would you like to drive my car"

wife "YOUR CAR YOUR CAR !!!!!!!!!!""""

anyways on to important things what can I say it accellerates brakes & corners like nothing ive ever driven.

goes into 3 figures in 3rd and then feels likes someones attached a rocket in 4th gear. The tractability is amazing 25 mph in 6th and it pulls.

70mph in 6th and it's pulling 0bar (digital boost guage) and returns 30.2 mpg however cane it and it's single figures all the way.

must get to meet some of you soon im sure you'll approve

Paul

Dazza, cheers for the spin. You SWINE ! Now I NEED an STi All the way home mine felt limp

CU Soon.

Just had a cracking drive out today to Castleton (North Yorks). Took the road straight north from Hutton Le Hole (normally turn off there to Whitby via Lastingham etc).

Some decent long sweeping bends with good visibility for once rather than blind corners on moors Just got to keep an eye out for Flossie and her mates lurking but that's another story...

Had chance to practice the limit lines, Al, although none of this "accelerate back to speed limit when exiting corner"

Daz - I wondered who the loon wearing shades was hanging out of the people carrier the other day and then saw the citroen badge and it clicked thoughht you were getting a berlingo - it didn't look to be like a van with windows or is that a new front end? I was on one of the driving lessons so couldn't stop

Here we go...

On a (shock, horror) serious note, and BOT, I would not be averse to another evening of *cough* research if we can come up with another four possibles, as Thursday was particularly enjoyable.
