Pre New Year Run 30th December
Discussion
After much sole searching and the fact to a few people will have to much booze running through their veins still… on boxing day, the run has moved to 30th .
If you have not made your Christmas list for Santa yet, then ask for a PMR radio /walkie talkie to fill your socking on Christmas morning
The run will be taking in the country side west of Reading ! The meeting point will be near J12 M4. 7am. Please email for details.

Depressing isn't it?
Na, it's a bloody amazing car and should be for the amount it costs , I'm just pleased to have had a go. Robatr0n said:
It feels seriously quick when you whack your foot down from a standstill but in gear it doesn't feel all that quick until you look at how fast you are going.
I think some of my friends and family may argue with this bit Rob, there's been more than a few expletives about that car in the last few days I actually found it was the opposite, I don't think it's much if any faster than my car from a standing start (and the 0-60 time would seem to agree) and it seems to have serious traction issues, however if it's in manual and in 2,3,4 (probably 1,5,6 too) and you accelerate hard it's mind boggling how fast it is. I agree it's very smooth though.
Yeah its much smoother than mine which is why I think it feels slower (when I know its not!), mine is a little all or nothing to be honest.
Now all we need to do is badger Nigel for a ride in his 135i when it arrives!
Eta - Off the line it doesn't feel quicker than mine but if you manage a pull away with no wheelspin its just ridiculous!
Awesome and very deceptive car.

Bad wind again David? Anyway, I am going to be sensible for a change (this doesn't happen very often). With the cold weather at the moment we should all take a little more care BUT be sure to note that I am not saying that we are careless to begin with but I have seen a few cars caught out at <15mph on public roads over the last few days in this weather.
Anyway, I'm excited about this one but unfortunately my tyres still haven't arrived.
