VERY nice Didnt get a chance to do a standing start as it were so cudnt say how quick it is off the line but fook me its very quick on the move Had it up to 110mph at one point but didnt want to scare the sales girl (who had said I could go as fast as I wanted) 
I shall be back there in a few months (hopefully) to order one for 55 reg time Depends on my work though really, I currently travel 50 miles a day and have to park in a car park with working class factory people who have already succesfully dented the 106s door The company is relocating to their other office which has a large nice car park and is only 5 mins down the orad, the plan is to move in Sept I think but if its later than that I may have to wait :S

In a way ive kinda forgotten what my CTR was like lol... like i say standing start was a no no but i wud assume that wud be slower (with the stats an all) but on the move it felt brilliant... completely diff way of driving tho compared 2 my CTR we did a few twisties too and it was really impressive again

TBH ive never driven a CTR, i would have expected it to feel faster thats all, i can imagine the golf is easier to drive fast as you dont need to be high up in the rev range for anything to happen

Yeah it was totally different, i liked it tho it jus sort of happens immediately... i caught a rather lovely clio 182 off guard an left him for dead (he wasnt racing me tho but it was still fun)
