Once I remembered that was MPH and not Km/hr I was far more impressed!!
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

A Seat Leon got the jump on me at some lights this morning. I was parked up in neutral minding my own business. As the lights changed this Seat arrived and floored it. Fair play he could shift. There's an 80 degree right hander just after the lights so I had to wait for the corner exit before I could really pin it and leave him behind.

If it was a Cupra then they are damn quick. I came up against a tricked up Cupra R when I had the D6, tried to out run it but it was bloody difficult.

They are usually 2.0 turbos I think? About 240hp standard.

No idea. It was quick though and handled well. Not bad either for £23k.

Ive used my cam a couple of times, really impressed with it, I ended up have to use one of the sticky mounts as even on the side fairing the sunction mount wasnt great due to the curve of the fairing, fell off once but luckily while not moving. really happy with the quality of the video tho, sound isnt great but not the worst ever either
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...
