Always obey the speed limits. My speed awareness course taught me that.

I was in the red wagon, but it wasn't me driving!

It did sound good, it's suprising how fast it sounds like you are going when FSD in first gear

Can't say I noticed any other scoobs on the three trips we did through the tunnel!

Yep, the 'big black thing' was a forester, Danny's and it's quick!

I was on my way home night shift, when you lot came flying past.
I was in a volvo estate,went to fill up at bp then when i was on my way home through the tunnel again,could'nt believe it,you lot came flying past again.

Are flame ment to come out of those exhausts? or are they those dodgey flame kits?

No flamer kits on these scoobs, must have been the real McCoy!
Andy (red wagon) was getting the odd backfire when shifting, which car(s) was it?

Not sure that flames are too good.........probably why wagon's booked in next week for head gasket change + cambelt change + all engine seals.

Full decat always helps flames though............

Si.

It's about time you came out on a run with us, I'm not sure that I have seen your car yet!

Got my headers and up-pipe back from being ported last night, fitting them today after wrapping them.
