me and a mate were heading to mot centre to get few last things on the car ticked off, coming up to round a bout a noble m12 gto , 03 reg was heading the other way so we descided to follow,

were doing slow speeds then came to large brow going up, prob bout half mile long, both driving hard bu this time i was by him pulled out but nothing happened we were dead level all the way up!

had another few blips down the road, he hesitated on overtaking a car so i did get past then we pulled over for a chat!

nice guy, not sure i like the noble, not excatly a nice looking thing, didnt realise they were that fast! 1100kg and 360 ish bhp! rear tyres were huge and brakes were massive front and back!

showed us the engine, after getting the screw driver to undo screws to get in engine bay ........ummm

he was little shocked by the vx220, said its the only thing to have matched him so far!

so i was happy with that:-)

need little more power i think now, hehehe

car passed mot also:-)

just thought i would share my interesting morning
