JR's 1.4 16v keeping up with my 2.0...

Seeing JR follow me round a bend, with the back end higher in the air than Johnny Bravo's haircut.

Having Donnas heavy Corsa stick right behined me up to 80mph, when I had the 2.0 installed.. I was gutted.


Matts old 220+bhp Mini, as it came on boost, and scrabbled alllllll over the road, whilst beating a couple of Cosworths in the process

On the clocks maybe, real world I very much doubt it. I had a 106 GTi around 145bhp, no way would it have done 135-140mph timed - probably would show that on the clocks but in reality 125-130 tops I would have thought.

it'll hit the 155mph limiter and u'll crawl past with another 5mph odd top end...


BMW 330i... Simply because I was expecting some pace, and it had its ass handed to it by the Astra. That shocked the hell out of me, was expecting it to be close...

The first time I rode a litre bike, or a modern 600cc SS bike, and how quickly they really went when fully on the gas. Proper scarey the first time (not so much so the 600, but bloody quick for a wippet engine).

Martin Hadlands Escort Cossie, Mk1.... My word....

The first time I sat in a 400+bhp Toyota Supra at Boxhill, and was having to back off from chasing a Kwak 600cc SS bike as it wasn't quick enough.. My lord, awesome day.

Yeah actually my 636 shocked me, I've never ridden a 600 properly until I went out on the test ride for my one, coming up behind a car thinking I'm doing about 70 and I was doing 140, concept of speed completely changed after that.
