Doh !

I have met a little (modded) Honda a few times in the past few weeks, this morning as I left my village and got into the 'lanes' he appeared....

I waited a bit (cold engine) and after about a mile started to up the pace (no punn)

What I have to admit now is a little painful He was 'all over me like a rash' a very good driver in a very well sorted car

He was a decent chap, as after I had shown him a clean pair of STi lenses (and a few flames) on the straighter bits, he had the good manners to come alongside me on the bypass to exclaim " I had no answer to that on the straights !"

What a nice chap

All I can say in my defence...cold tyres, cold engine, two up, just got out of bed, not enough coffee, Optimax gone off, ran out of water spray.............

I salute you little Jap mota

Cool

Sure I would have got beat by both of you had I been there, M8.

Perhaps he was chasing after you to talk about Legacy's? If you're still sulking tomorrow night I'll buy you a pint!

I know you don't have a legacy. IIRC though, you spent the last district meeting chatting about em, whilst I was outside in the car park chatting about other stuff, and almost every one else was inside ogling the school days disco. Not sure what that says about us?

As for 215bhp - with FMIC (IIRC), plus ability to spit flame? Perhaps the problem is that you need to move the seat further forward to allow you to put the right foot to the floor?

May have been a Type-S, a few about as imports. They have over 200BHP stock, so a slightly modded one would be very quick.

Look out for a Type-S badge if you see him again.
