Thumbs up

Saw ya!

Travelling past the Downs at about 7.30-8.00 this evening in your motor with its distinctive exhaust burble. I was playing footy and waved but I doubt if you saw me.

Pj - email me your mobi and i'll give u a shout when im next on a cruise mission (usually happens once or twice a week )...

n5pug - i worked out on my car that if i keep the revv's at a constant rate (i.e. 30mph - 2nd gear - 3500rpm) then let off accelerator, then tap accelerator very very slightly (so it just puts in a tad of fuel to the engine but the car doesn't move/accelerate at all - I mean "tap" - i.e. upto 1000rpm - maybe less ...) and it will pop...

the more contant revv's or if you done a bit of a boot the better the pop... turbo was in the car and can confirm it - all i can say is i wos driving down whiteladies rd with the biggest grin...
managed to pop outside:
bohemia all the way to richer sounds... (nearly once every sec)
and some nicer pops outside:
Henry J Beans
HotHouse
Fine Line
Barkley
Elbow Room

then most of the way home...

Booted it out of Turbo's road and done the tap method and it went POP

once u pop u can't stop [/b]

Mine is an executive Scoob, hence the luxury seats - so I don't want it to backfire
