& it got a good write up too.

Be interesting to see their performance figures. Autocar seem to think a sub 4 seconnd 0-60 and a sub 10 second 0-100.

Having been on track in it last Saturday and driven on the roads this morning, I dont think the figures in Autocar will be that far out

Top end of the rev range is similar to a Spec C but pick up is improved, which is nice

Stevie,

Waved to the T25 this morning driving into Cheltenham, was that you or Iain Litchfield?

Had a look at it in Powerstation on Saturday, 350+lbft torque, dribble, must buy lottery ticket this week

Aaahhh my Challenger now thats a good car I think a diesal auto 4x4 is about as far away from the Type 25 as it gets

If you saw it earlier its because a customer is borrowing it, although I'm sure those plates will find there way onto the Type 25 soon.

Cool Type 25 hmmm. had a go last saturday

iain was kind enough to let me take it out for a spin on saturday, did not boot it but you could tell it was a bit of a monster excellent vehicle, but not quite for me, i could not do it justice, so maybe a JDM STI instead

Many thanks Ian for saturday and apologies for some dodgy gear changing

Cheers

Jim

Shame the website was thrown together in a hurry and contains more spelling errors than your average Scoobynet page
