Don't get me wrong ;I'm not a boy racer but I decided to give it some today .Car on 1400 miles and had a new beemer estate behind ,probably a 3 series but didn't know model .Out of Dover, for any that know it, up jubilee way from Dover Docks .No traffic about which was another reason I went for it . I moved over to left lane and he stayed in right giving it some . I planted it in 3rd gear ,and off we went ..Cut a story short, towards the top of the hill he was about 50 yards behind , he had been trying hard and don't think he liked it much . Got upto silly speeds, I know it's a bit crazy ,but then I wouldn't have done if traffic was busy ;)
Mind you when i got home the trip reading stated 19.5 mpg !!
The car does shift ,it was the 1st proper blast through the gears I've given it so far :)

I bet the BMW driver was gutted. I love it when they get a good thrashing from a car they think they're better than!

Washed, waxed and hoovered so looking all sparkling again. Found a slight dent in the front wing which I'm not happy about. That's two courtesy of knobheads in Tesco car parks. :(

Well was present at the Scottish VAG rolling road day at Extreme Motorsports in whitburn.
All standard cars made standard power etc and was a good day

Got the LCR on the rollers with REVO's new stage 1 software that will be released shortly.

Here are the results

:) Really happy with the results. To put in context my mates EP3 type R with induction kit made 203 bhp and another friend with his 206 gti 180 made 178 bhp

Today I washed my engine and shined the plastic.
Steamed inside plus mats.
Waxed outside and took off my wheels to give them a good clean.
Power washed underneath.
Then went down to kfc for a FAT FREE supercharger meal

Oh... and today I fitted my wind deflectors :), after I'd given her a good wash of course!
