was up ones arse last nite goin up some hills , was in 3rd and had the revs to accelerate quickly to overtake him but after the hill theres a long straight and he must have dropped it and shit on me. he nearly lost it though as the power surge made him nearly go in the hedge as he kicked sum dirt up at me on the side of the road. hate to get chased by the cop car version as they are tuned arent they to be even faster!!!!!

I was at the T5 Volvo Rolling Road day, tim's brother was at. They were all 25-40 lol and they were like 'in a straight line we can beat anything, but as soon as we get to a corner... WE'RE FUCKED!'

If its a copper, thats prob why its been left alone... Remember chatting to someone who's motor had been tweaked by police mechanics (he had a mate who was one); was quick as hell but the bonnet was sealed shut

You want a fast estate car, you wanna get yourself one of these.... 4.7 to 60mph, this thing could make alot of scoobs and Evo's look slow...
