Going round corners at speeds that would leave every other vehicle I've previously owned parked backwards in the hedge. Happy.

My best feeling is being pushed back in the seat when you give it some large right foot, also cornering at high speed and watching the joker behind vanishing he he.

ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!!
One of the bests gotta be driving down the single carriageway near my house - bang on 60 with a muppet right on your ****, then going into the roundabout - still doing 60 - and tearing out the other end, then slowing back to 60mph and laughing my **** off when he catches up again 2 minutes later.

Some one said to me do you love your scooby more than your girl friend - I said "Looking at it or driving it"!!!

Sections of road with nice high walls near by, the rear passenger window 1/4 down.... Hmmmm listening to the gruff thrump of orchestral the exhaust belowing from the Stainless system.......
The pop, popping on the overrun as excess fuel is vapourised in a flash and a bang...

Sorry got lost in a moment there

Oh yeah and its pure grunt of 1.3bar of boost comes into play in second, third and then fourth gear, the boost guage racing round until it gets to 19PSI...PTTsssshhhh, change up, bbbbrrrrrrRRRRRR.....PTTsssshhh....pop......

Completely lost it obviously !

BS

I am half-considering getting rid of mine due to the running costs coupled with other debts I have.

But when you read comments like the above it makes you appreciate just how special the car is and the thought of selling it is saddening to say the least.

In a strange sort of way, approaching a corner, braking, going round the corner and coming out the other side. Then thinking "why the heck did I slow down"
