S, my brothers just got one of these things (urg!) Paid top dollar for and old shape (the best of the ugliest). He thinks it's the business.

He seems to think that his Jap-crap (sorry I'm biased) will beat my Carlton GSI3000 24v. OK it will through the single track lanes but them a new mini cooper will beat about anything throught these lanes.

Can you guy's here let him know the truth. I'd hate him to blow-up his yellow-man machine trying.

ultimate supercar day, 8th and 9th August at Santa Pod...

Go up there and take a run together see who's fastest....!

But even if yours is faster, he made the right choice with a classic shaped scoob!!

Ha ha.

I knew it would get you boys goin!!!!!!!

He'll see this as I've sent him the link.

Santa pod is on 1/4 mile. Come on! Rome wasn't built in a day.

BTW. If he does beat me I'll cash in the ISA and then I'll get the lotus and you can all K-M-***.

9800 for a "W" with low miles and A/C in good cond. Is it too much?

Cheers for that.

He's no mug so he must have done his research but I just thought it was a bit OTT.

He seems to like it.

0 - 100 he'll whup u. After that you got him IMO. The GSI24v could do 50-70 in the same time as a Cossie. So in gear it could be a close thing.

It's got him wound up anyway. I don't think my mum would be too pleased loosing both her sons racing each other.

I keep winding him up that he only brought it 'cos at 34 he's having his mid-life crisis early!!!!!!!!!
