The perfect car for you is turbo petrol.

:cool:

relaxed? blimey what turbo petrol have you been in?

Wills scoob was far from relaxed, and I know mine is nothing like relaxing when the turbo kicks in.

Must be a fairly small turbo then, Most give a good kick when the boost comes in.

im sure dave can confirm, but id guess its due to the level of tune + weight

Two cars i was most impressed with was the Vette (obviously) and Simon's - damn quick. I had a right job putting distance between me and him on the M5. Stuck to my arse like glue till i got to 5750 rpm then i slooooowly edged away. :eek:

I think your's sounds nicer though. Sounded ace when we were blasting about trying to get around the closed Road

That first time we went for it I backed off as i seen your brake light flash on. There's no way you car is only 235(?) bhp as a 260bhp Sti was no faster than yours.

Conanius · 3 Oct 2004 at 21:38

si - the 235 is another story...

on that point merlin, i was gonna e-mail powerstation thanking them for the day, are you still gonna do what we spoke about on saturday?

agw_01 · 3 Oct 2004 at 21:39

Sweet video! Some lovely cars there!

Who's was the Astra van? That made me chuckle seeing it on the rollers

No offence to the owner though

Who's was the black Rover 200 turbo? I saw it on the 1st RR video.

Also, what's that blue 2 door car with the black alloys. It kinda looked like an old R32 GTS Skyline, but I wasn't sure.

I'll email Rich tomorrow and see what he says. Basically i want my money back, he let me go on knowing the front rollers weren't reading right.

Bit naughty imo.

well, the way I was gonna phrase my e-mail was 'fantastic day out, cheers, BUT we want to make this a regular thing, is there anything you can do for our guy who had the dodgy reading with his scoob due to your rollers being out?
as we said, its easy money for them, they would be mad to drive us away from them. Plus, it means ill have to drive somewhere :eek:
