The convoy to the pub after the RR is 'enthusiastic' though.

Especially when you get lost with a TeggyR, R32 and a P1.

My car loved keeping pace with everyone else at the last one...it amazed me that it could. Although I filled up before I left home (Bournemouth at that point) and then again when I left the pub.

oh yea, someone please put the pub's Postcode into the OP, it makes things MUCH easier if everynoe has it, as no one ever seems to remember it on the day!

GL53 9NG

That's the postcode for the pub, it's called The Seven Springs

Its not about gaining/lowering BHP, its about avoiding det!! My car is specifically live mapped for V power, and I'm not gonna run it flat out on the rollers on the wrong fuel!! The bloody thing is fragile enough as it is!! :eek:

I always use VPower... I was having a laugh as if a full tank of VPower will lower my bhp due to the weight....

It is stupid expensive though, and only 97 RON.

RON never has or ever will be a measure of fuel quality, my car seems ok on 97RON

You're right about it being expensive though.

Well thats just a load of rubbish. Surely if you are burning less you engine is making less power. Or would you disagree?

Phate · 11 Jul 2008 at 18:03

I don't want this thread to turn into a bitch fest.

It's going to be hard enough to follow everyone's post as it is.

Can a mod please clean up this thread? Ta. xxx
