V5 Man in his new Red (and noisy) Classic on the A404 - Wycombe!
Evening Cliff ...
Well that one is certainly a whole load faster than the last one - but you just wait until my squeaking speed limiter (the girlfriend) is not in the car ......
Your new car is rather easy to spot with those wheels - and that exhaust system is very restrained (not) ........
Was that the legendary White Dragon with you?? I need him to bleed my brakes for me at some point if he would do that?

Hi Mad Marky Mark. I wondered who was stopping me coming out of the inside lane!!
I was with the even more legendary Paul Palmer. we were doing some test runs to see how the cars holding boost etc. also wired my windscreen wash up to jets on the i/cooler and was gonna test it out, but in the excitement of seeing you I forgot!! doh!!
kinda loud that zorst eh!!! that was obviously bung out mode. was superb on the tunnel fun cruise yesterday, got to really hear just how loud it is.
whens the 8 coming then?

Cliff,
Heh I saw you on the way into the Handy Cross Rbt, so I was actually waiting for you to pull out and then I thought I would boot it past you in second when the g/f started squeaking ..... so pulled back in!
It's VERY loud - what is it?
It looks like it goes well - I would estimate well over the 240bhp you got from the other one?
Not allowed an STi until September as we're getting married on the 12th June!!! I can wait for a nice Black one with PPP / Prodrive springs / 8x18 Speedline Turini's

Thats a full de-cat, with BLITZ NUR-SPEC rear box. sounds god darned awesome. it was on the car already, so cant take the credit for it. it pops,bangs,spits, explodes etc, I can see why its called a Blitz
Congrats on the wedding plans
if you want me to do a celebratory fly past on the actual day, no problem
better than a ten gun salute
booked with the RB5 boys to go back to G-force for a R/R day. need to see how this ones doing and get some figures etc. had it struggling to do more than 110 uphill from marlow on-slip to handy cross r/a/bout uphill stretch!!!!!! something a miss we think
also doing loadsa fuel, only 180 miles max per full tank!!! spark plug change first on the agenda.

V5 Man - well you know my car is pretty quick and it seemed fairly even to me! Once accelerating above 70-80mph new ages and classics are only really separated by pure bhp (allthough you may be quicker off the line)!
Paul - that would be great! Yes please I'm not short of all the theoretical technical knowledge - just never done it before .......
