It was only a 2.7 boxster not a boxter s....

not bad for a diesel allthough my last revod 20vt cupra did just have the beating of a std boxster..

The guy in the boxser was really trying round the roundabaout but to be fair it was damp and i had four brand new continental sportcontact2's on..:)

Almost forgot I went working the other day with a BMW driver..an estate agent who had done many track days corporate and came to my house in a 3 series coupe...there were three of us and not wanting to be squished I suggested I took my car he agreed..and was extremely impressed asking all about the engine....etc

mark mark mark..... you torturing the boxster drivers, theyll be on complaining about us picking on them again...

lol but sadly I could only match it exactly.....if Id got past in a diesel there would have been mass suicides in Stuttgart
 
Mr Sheerin, where's your sig gone??????

i could always spot your posts by the amount of red on a page!!!!!


I bought a diesel last year based on their performance, (and phenomenal economy) when i got trounced by a Saab 9-5 3.0d. I was in my Mondeo 2.5 24v V6. thought i'd show him what 6 cylinders could do :doh: couldn't even keep up, let alone beat it :thumbd:

A mate bought a 9-5 3.0V6 TiD earlier this year. I found that the trick to overtaking him is to wait until his car's back at the garage again (6 times now in 3 months) for an intermittent loss of power and then nip past while he's shouting at the service manager.

When it works, though, great car :thumbup:

It wasnt a thrashing just a slow creeping....and not till 3 figs but a creeping closer to me nonetheless..allthough I actually gained round a roundabout..:)
but as I said damp road and all new tyres helped me..:)
