Yesterday evening.........

You came from nowhere and followed me onto the roundabout then down the slip to A404........

I now fully believe that an EVO can out corner then outpower a Scooby.

Nice!!!!

Hi J

Our little trip to Sussex on Sunday, and having an Evo have a go at me, didn't bother coz I knew I'd lose, so he overtook, and so did Graham Graham was all over him and made the Evo look pants (was a 6). The driver then to make his point, and try and get away decided to overtake about 8 cars up a hill towards a crest Suffice to say Graham was a bit more sane.
Thing is earlier Graham, Scott and I had a play with a P1, who was only just pulling away from me, and the same with Graham when we were foot down, flat out from the roundabouts, was just pulling away. Seeing how he totally embarrased the Evo made me wonder....
Therefore I don't believe they are much better than a scoob, maybe handling but thats a computer......

Anyways, enough waffle - see you tonight mate!!!

Laters
Jawa.

Far point Mr Jawa,

But I took the roundabout at the optium angle one which I know well, I guess he did to. He was just doing it so much easier and with a smile from cheek to cheek (no not his a*se ).

Then on the straight it was my latest 244BHP (238lb/Ft) against his ????. Well whatever he had, including an HKS outlet the size of an oil pipeline.... it kicked my a*se

Not just one car length, even 3 car lengths, but hi-ho silver away.......

(oh that reminds me of a joke...

The Lone Ranger and Tonto are camping in the desert, set up their tent and are asleep.

Some hours later, The Lone Ranger wakes his faithful friend. "Tonto, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Tonto replies, "Me see millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?" asks The Lone Ranger.

Tonto ponders for a minute.
"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.
Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

What it tell you, Kemo Sabi?"

The Lone Ranger is silent for a moment, then speaks: "Tonto, you dumb-***, someone has stolen our tent."

lol!!

They are nippy beasts Yeah I woul have thought round the roundabout he'd have the edge what with the active YAWN control - oops YAW, sorry

I thought you had a full decat now mate - should give you more than 244 Which rollers was it on?

My car had 233bhp and 221 torque before mods, I would have thought yours should be higher in relation to that.......

However there has been talk recently that there is a fault with the MY00 ecu and that the MY99 ecu is a good cure??!?!?!?

see you later

"maybe handling but thats a computer......"

LOL

You boys should take one out at the Ring - dey dont drive demselves u know Seriously though I reckon that they are harder to drive on the limit than a scoob. Once u have got the hang of it though they are the muts nuts

The silver 6 you spotted nr maidenhead may have been the MA Developments car - v quick and well sorted.

Hey Rich,

No offence meant tho' eh?!?!! Graham told me how he'd been out in your car at the last Bagshot meet and how they handle to the point you think you've lost it but they just keep on going

(Think you scared him a bit myself - but he won't admit that till he's had a few more pints ) lol.
