Who was it, in a P1 or similar on Friday, heading towards the viaduct down by the soon to close Ford plant, who waved at me when I was trundling along in my green nail of a Scooby?

I've got a courtesy car now, as the vRS was crashed into by some toe-rag, who has since forgotten what actually happened, and is claiming I hit him. It's a 1.25 Fiesta and is so slow, I've been looking for pedals to make it go quicker...

You might be right mate, its got a Prodrive b/box on it which I think is letting the side down. Produces a nice note but not very loud. Would like to upgrade but afraid of it going all raspy on me!

i think its very hit and miss with exhausts, sometimes you have to try 2 or 3 systems before you like the sound of it ideally you need to find someone else with a non-turbo and see if you like the sound of that. if so just copy them
