BACK. 
That was fun. Although the roads were getting dry on my way back, so the car just stuck and stuck and stuck.

I went out the pub a bit sideways.

Yeah, pub was a bit damp...I did pull out of the carpark from the pub, accelerate slowly, then hard and waved my bum at Vigoro though.

It is awesome, but as I said in the car, I couldn't help but feel it wasn't all that quick.
Indeed it doesn't feel that quick, but the noise
I think its the 4WD which takes away the rawness and feeling of speed.

I think its a lot harder to appreciate how quick a car feels when its BIG ! Its quicker than the VX220 and if you watch the speedo you soon see its pretty fast
Sam
Yeah, size makes a big difference....waaaaayyy
It's similar with mine...I can go fast and it doesn't feel fast, but in smaller cars even sensible speeds feel really quick.
Yeah, I didn't look at the speedo to be fair, looked at the rev counter...seemed to be high most of the time.
As you said though, it's much more a twisties car than a straight line one, shame it was wet and nobody knew the roads.

Dude!
I'm in Basingstoke tomorrow, going to look at a car with a guy from work. I'll tag along about mid-day I think. Someone want to MSN me one of your numbers so I can find you?
