? Go away (very bendy b-road). The drivers rubbish braking into every bend etc but going up to just over the limit on the straights so i've not gone to overtake him. Quite glad i've not tried reading this if they are the type of git i think they are then they'd probably floor it if I tried. In the N/A MR2 I think i'd have to really suprise him then. What engine do they have, i must admit I thought it was probably just a kit in the mould of "S-line" Audis and "M Tech" BMWs, didn't realise they had any real power?'02 VX220 2.2 n/a Daily driver - Exige Size TD 1.2 - TAT shorty Diffuser - HardTop - Chris Tullet 4-1 Manifold.'97 mk1 Mazda Eunos Turbo track car with 260bhp/ton - soon more as Chris Wilsons going to build me an engine over the winter

The game has moved on a long way. Don't think that a current corsa VXR will be anything like an old corsa in the way it drives.- Circuit Pack (07 reg) 1.1 courtesy car and it had absolutely no steering feel or feedback. The interior was ok, but the driving position was soooo high (much prefer my 1998 Civic). The brakes were excellent, but a little too snatchy. - the back even felt a little mobile with hard turn-in + braking. They've not sold many due to the high insurance, tax and value. He cant get rid of his. You can pick up a year old astra vxr for the same money. How many clio 197's have you seen? bet its no way near the amount of 172/182 clios that are on the road. Should have known from the 3 a-pillar gauges that it was modded. I've never seen a car accelerate so quick. I was literally laughing whilst playing catch-up. - pretty far removed from the old days of a tin can and wheels IMO.
