Driving a long the A30 to work this morning I pass a collegue whoo looks over as I pass.

We both grin and wave.

I move into the inside lane and put my foot down, I have as he passed me and carried on out stripping my car (modded MY01).

I wish I had the £60k to get a Carrera 4S and then all the experiance of actual racing he has!

Fantastic car shame I beat him to the office with the better lane choices really!

Chuck, I wasn't racing and niether was he.

We were simply overtaking and moving away from other road users!

BTW I still have some money to give you!

You still got that thing fitted? Just remembered I found 8 spare nuts lying on the floor under your car when you left- never lift the bonnet whilst drunk is my new motto.
LOL

Chuck,
It is still fitted and in your words "making comedy sucking noises" under the bonnet.

About the spare bits... I wondered why the engine was loose!

It beats a little turbo. Put a big mother turbo on and you might stand a chance.

If you think thats bad, I was in Guilford the other night waiting at the Traffic lights minding my own business. They go to green and the car behind me is wheel spinning away trying to get past. I floor it and gain a little back. Next lights my passenger looks round Mk2 Fiesta!!!! Get to a car park after not being unable to shake him, ask what he is running as I have 270BHP! Oh just a turbo and NOS he replies!!!!!!!

John he was given me a lift in his car on <ahem> a private test track <ahem> 150mph in fifth (six gears available) and it was still pulling!

Such a fun car shame the sound proofing is so effective!

I got out dragged by a new Pontiac Firebird a while back. I guess 5.7 litres of cast iron V8 still has it's place in the world

Mark,

I've had no probs with 4S's up to a ton - sure you had your foot on the gas, not the brake?

I also managed to dispatch a 4S a little while ago. I don't know, what with all this talk of getting beaten by Saxo's, various hot hatches and other not so fast cars I have seen posted on here over the last few days I am begining to think that UK spec scoobs aren't really up to much at all

(flame suit on)

You might stand a better chance if you were to remove the rear gun turret...

Jawa - The ton was no problem, after that I was toasted! Of course this was on a private test track!
