            Can well imagine, with that skirt !!

            My old SD1 Vitesses and XR4x4s were quite the high speed tow-er​s Muz

            Very interesting effect your number plate has on cameras Muz (or have you been at it in photoshop?) If I had a number plate like that I might get a lil' more enthusiastic again

            It's obviously an '8' but which one 4+ or 5+ ltr? They sure do go well.
            Never been a lover of Bee-emmers, but have to say they are beautifully put together motors an' if they weren't so quick would consider one in my 'old age'/dotage !!

            Having kept my license 'clean as' all my life, it'd be a shame to spoil the track record now If it weren't for that constant thought, I'd have a Monaro sat on the drive.

            A mate has one (that we went to Norwich in, to view the 'Drema) and they are just pure fun - point and squirt motors.
            Had a great time driving it back 250 miles from Norwich and was really 'in the groove', by the time we touched back down here at Chez Druid

            I've resisted so far though!!
            If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!

                        30 MPG FFS ? You push it between every other set of lights or what ???? that's an 'M' !!

                        Doug's Monaro is IIRC 5.6 and returns 32 MPG . ....... 24 driven with more enthusiasm
                        Returned 31 to the gallon over the 500 mile round trip to Norwich an' back ........ an' I was giving it some beans on the way home

                        Modern engine management is excellent eh and long legged boxes help! ....... 59MPH @ 1000 RPM in 6th

                          Ive had better than 30 but more normal would be 25 ish.. with the odd stab on the loud pedal .. what really does it for performance is the dual clutch transmission, theres no delay in changes up or down, and you keep your foot planted while doing it to keep the 2 turbo's on full boost. I Bought that one with 6k on the clock, saved me £25k off the the previous owners invoice price (which I've seen) There are 3 settings for the suspension, throttle response, and steering response, plus a further 3 for gearbox shift pattern, so you can have a wide range of settings to suit the driver ... getting the power down is the hard part .. as Obe-Wan Kenobi once said ... brave is the man who rides with traction control 'off'

                            Sounds like the force is strong in that one then Muz Previous owner Master Yoda by any chance

                            You obviously don't suffer from the Camera Plague that's stricken most areas round here then?!!
                            Bet yer got some nice roads to play with too

                              I wish ? ... we have em bad in some places, and if its not a fixed unit, theres mobiles everywhere .. mind .. theres some cracking runs down your way too Plus we have more draconian punishments ... still no speed awareness courses here either ? For example they've just dropped the alcahol limit to 50mg from 80, to bring us into line with Europe, now Ive no problem with that, but they've kept the penalties the same ? In France you get 2 goes before they ban you If cought between 50 and 80 you get fined 135 euros and get six points ... in Scotland that would be a 1 year ban

                                Draconian certainly is the word there Muz
                                Personally I'd like to see a zero limit on drink/drive - no grey areas then - lot of the Scandy countries have it

                                Having lived a lot of my life with a traffic cop, who are the ones who pick up the pieces, I have no tolerance for it.

                                Now't against alcohol - just don't mix it with wheels.

                                As for cameras, as I said - just not cricket and pure revenue generators!!



                                An' yeh, we got some nice roads round here too, just can't play on 'em any more
