Nice to see both yourself and Gemma tonight, but I would have thought you would have given me a race in my van.

It's nice to see the car is going to be in good hands.

That's what these cars are all about; the odd blast when road and traffic conditions allow and of course there are no rozzers in the vicinity either.

Let's all face facts there's nothing quite a blast in the car almost at the point of loss of control / being on the ragged edge to remind you why we like our cars so much.

It's great that sudden moment when your pulse rises, your adrenaline goes into overdrive and your away; that is apart from the obvious comparison but you don't have to cuddle the car afterwards or buy it a meal.

Ian, as it's a twin scroll the downpipe won't fit a non twin scroll car plus the rest Milltek exhaust system won't mate to any other make of exhaust either because they use non standard lengths compared to every other manufacturer.

I should know as I was looking to mate an RCM centre and tail box to my Milltek downpipe.
