Nope.

But me feels this has happened to you ?



Get some mods, or an after burner pack mate!

Or if you want to be nasty, like really bang out of order I heard once that treacle is not much good when poured into petrol tanks or bits of kippers wedged down into air vents.

*I do not condone such hideous acts as suggested above and will take no liabilty for anyone doing this to their mates as a joke*

None of me mates have got a quicker car than me.

I've got a customer with a 480Bhp road going 22b though! 13k was spent on his engine work and was carried out by Prodrive.

Friend had a GT4 when I got my fast UK Scoob. It wasn't as quick as the Scoob so he bought a 4 litre Chimaera, which he thought would pi55 on it - it didn't.

Sold the UK Scoob and got an STi -which peed on the Chimaera - so he traded it in for a Cerbera, cos he thought it would **** on it.

Guess what? It didn't

My neighbour has an EVO6 - last I heard it was at 380bhp and he was looking for more.....

Plus a genuine original RS200 - or it was - they have spent around £100,000 on it converting it to a Pikes Peak hillclimber - he has Stig Blomquist driving it....

Plus an Aston DBS in Vantage spec...

Oh, and he has a MV Agusta bike...

Oh, and a Ducati 996 which he keeps on display in his (large) hallway

He is a complete petrolhead - but a really nice guy so I can forgive him!!

The road test Cerberas maybe.

You find me a genuine production one which is as quick. You won't.

Strange.

Don't believe everything Car Mags (or manufacturers brochures) tell you D

Im quite happy to do it in 12.3 secs all day long (sti5 typeR). Unlike the blackpool banger which will break down after first fill up. Why spend neary £40,000 and look like 'tim nice but dim'?I bet TVRs do more mileage on a low loader than actually under their own steam

Most of my friends ( male and female ) drive crap cars.
1.0 Fiat Uno
1.0 Vauxhal Corsa ( driving instructor )
1.4 Ford Escort
Some sort of Citreon
Rover 414
Rover 214
However I don't complain if they are giving me a lift to/from the pub.
Several others can't drive!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we get to the slightly better stuff,
Honda Prelude
XJS diesel powered trike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
