Neil "how does it corner"

Well................you know that big round thing between the dashboard and the drivers seat................well, you just sort of turn it and it goes round

Thought they covered that in the driving test these days LOL

<edited due to crap speeling - pi55ed again>

Will I ever get to drive it

I'll have to come over to the Pink Palace and have a look

Unless you're coming up to my local pub?

I will, as a favour to you, run it in nicely for the first 1000 miles. If you want, I'll even loosen it up - perhaps it should get better after the first 10k or so?

Hope your new exhaust is OK, Drove my Black with "PINK" STI back from scoobysport and got caught in rain storm, car got dirty so have cleaned it this afternoon (how sad is that)
These are amazing cars, hope you have sobered up enough to drive yours now

ROFL

What can I say - Muppets.....



Question: What goes whoosh, roaaaaarrrrr, bleep bleep; whoosh, roaaaaaarrrrrr, bleep bleep etc - answer - a freshly ScoobySport exhausted STi running in (yes Chuck, I do do it, carefully) with the rev limit bleeper set at 4500 rpm.....

All I can say is, it gets to 4500 rpm bl00dy quickly in first to fourth gears......

It still looked like a Toyota Corolla with a bonnet scoop when it was reversing out of ScoobySport. (I'm only jealous!)

And Dave, I'm guessing that you set the rev limit bleeper to 4,500 AFTER you roared away. Sounded like way more then 4,500 to me...

Nice mota!

So THATS what i've been doing wrong all these years. Cheers Carolyn!

I thought one cornered by leaning out of the window for a right hand turn and leaning inwards towards the passenger for a left hand bend.

He's only running it in for you. He knows that the 1st 1000 miles are painful and torturous. So, to show you how much he loves you he's not only undergoing that pain for himself, but for you as well..

It's been a long time since PE's rolling road has tested a car so new ... hope you get to drive it before long. However, best to stick to the drink for now.
