Whats the stats on these? ones with the big orange grill...

Had a wee play, he was about 4 car lengths in front of me coming off a roundabout..I was in 3rd gear doing about 30-35 and I booted it so did he and I never gained on him but he never got further away until we braked at about 80-85.

I should really have been in 2nd gear for best acceleration but

BRM's are nice. Interior is a bit gash though.

Stats are way lower than mine for standard???? I will have to put it down to me being in 3rd gear starting off..Dissapointed that I didn't gain on him at all in the space of time if the above stats are correct?

dispite the headgasket practically being a service item, they're actually very good engines.

I know Robin but my stats as stabdard are 0-60 in 6.7 secs and 200bhp so looking at that against it still dissapointed I didn't seem to be gaining..Mabe if the road was longer I might have?? I broke alot later than him and was side by side at roundabout but i think thats just due to when we both broke.

If you were down this way, I'd say it was a modded one, there's a Rover T16 engined one round here, but you're not, so

I absolutely love them. I thought they were 150bhp standard myself. The grille is loud and gash which makes it even better, the interior is nice aswell.
