spotted what we beleive to be journalists driving a very tasty looking new Porche GT4S out of the petrol station by the tunnel, obviously followed them out and 'gave it some', at this point a R6 joined the fray undercutting me, full power now applied and we blew the two wheeler away, even got applause from the French biker after easing off for traffic and then the Porche caught up and wanted to play, stayed at 40 mph and waved them goodbye, for those 2 minutes the £25k on mechanical mods seemed to be worth every penny.

The moral of this story is that 5 points were added to my existing 6 this morning by post so no antics like above for me in the UK for some time (if ever - honest).

'over speed' now set at 75 mph

too loud for track days unless you know of a venue, might have to be Binbrook via javelin autosport.

G'Day Will,

I'm a bit cofused mate,

You say "no antics like above for me in the UK for some time (if ever - honest)".

But why was your car going sideways as it left the pub on Sunday ? and did you say you set the "Over Speed " to 75 or 175 ?

Ah ha, game up, I am a nutter but as I live local I 'think' I know where I can get away with it.

Funny thing is that when I pulled away the car was normally aspirated as that noise that I said was the dump valves was in fact the inlet tube to the thottle body popping off, so more than 300 BHP down. Came off again tonight in a car park.

Thanls for the 3hr 24 hr DVD

No Worries Mate,

Yes we did think the car sounded a bit off as you went past.

I know how you feel, my EH is about 300 horses down as well !
