He's happy, I got a couple of out of him and one "jesus". Was a nice bloke.

I did scare him - was approaching an S bend pretty quick, I saw his legs stretch out into the footwell as if he was going for imaginary brakes lol

but if he didnt scream you werent trying hard enough

Next time set up two video cameras, one pointing at his face, one on the bumper and do a picture-in-picture video so we can see their reaction :>

He seemed reasonably relaxed except for my late braking.

Asked me if I was interested in selling it too, nice compliment and the 2nd time in about a week I've been asked.

Quite surprised at his age - he looked about 40. Mid life crisis methinks

What are DC2's like? I'm doing some minimal car research for after my training when I'm going to get myself some new wheels.

Same around the twisties, slower on the straights, louder and harder.

And a pita on the motorway having only 5 speed box rather than 6.

Still bloody awesome though. Amazing cars. :cool:

There seem to be good points for all the Type Rs that will be in my price range next year (DC2 ITR, Accord, Civic) the ATR is catching my eye due to the practicality of it.
In 8 months time I'm determined not to have fallen foul of Fox's 'comfortable saloon' affliction

Fox is just trying to get everyone into mind numbingly boring cars.

As soon as he's done this - he'll move up to something a bit more exciting and proceed to urinate on everyone who's recently bought a lame boring car, Ford Mondeo in particular.

Just you watch.

nice thing to do

Nice one. Always good to see passengers go for the brake pedal or door handle

That teg does impress when sat in the left seat thats for sure :cool:

I used to like the Rover in second gear, people always grabbed the seat and door handle.

DC2 is practical enough, no need to buy a breadvan and the Accord has too many doors.

I'm sure Merlin can attest to Championship White being the fastest colour
