Default Came across a Tuscan 2

Was out for a drive this morning, over my usual route that I know very well.

First roundabout I entered I came across a TVR Tuscan2, I thought it might be fun to see if he wanted a "spirited drive", headed off down dual carriageway with him following closely and loudly behind !

Approach roundabout, yahoo, its clear, foot down, good line, full throttle coming out in 2nd gear, actually pulled out a little gap on the Tiv.......then.......

Mr NTL van in outside lane, 45mph, totally clear on inside lane too........brake hard, Tiv catches up big time, van pulls in.......... and I pull in.......Tiv destroys me big time !

This one has the new version (last few months) of the S6 block with different oilways etc. all the drivetrain is great. only problem is the electrics. but even with the problems I would still have one, you get out buzzing
