Interesting - Took my mate and his son out from work last Saturday along the castle Coombe road. Anyway, his son knows the guy in the bright Yellow submarine and blagged a ride. Was told today that straight line acceleration/speed wasn't much difference, but cornering, the Scoob is in a different league. And stopping power of the Alcons compared to whatever is on the Nissan is again miles ahead. Bit like from a Std Scoob I suppose

Thats whu you're slow into bends/roundabouts etc then.

Normal road driving - If you're slow, then you don't need to brake much

Cheers for the info mate - the Sodbury one is a bit worrying.

Are you another local Scooby owner?

P1face - are you suggesting that the Subaru is better around corners than the Skyline?!
