there is surprisingly little between many cars in terms of 0-60 times and perceived speed. The Evo may only have 0.6 of a second advantage . The difference between a 944 turbo and an S2 is minimal on paper in terms of terminal speed and 0-60mph times . Turbo's just feel quicker [
]My Saab had circa 250 bhp before this but this feels a bit quicker, think its because its a bit more raw, a lighter and you are closer to the floor, certainly moves when I want it to, think Pistonheads make you think you are buying something feeble if its less than 500 bhp, no doubt the Evo is quicker but expected more of a gap to open up given the plumes of swirling grey smoke, wasnt going to try and ollow him round a damp roundabout.ORIGINAL: peanutthere is surprisingly little between many cars in terms of 0-60 times and perceived speed.

WHAT!!! I have to admire your ambitions James, I'm happy that mine starts and you seem to be building a CV for NASA! I don't understand what you're doing but it looks cool and I am envious
] Reverse out to the yard.. Collect father-in-law ... Brakes not siezed or stuck - Up the road tword Glenamaddy turn at the school and back the 10 or so miles ! I had to "sneak about" as the car isnt taxed ... No Garda about so happy days. Father in law loving it... A respectful wave from a lad in a Honda Civic ... Pull up at the house - Wife and Mother in Law both throw their eyes up...... Car back into turf shed - Battery disconnected - Toys put away and cover cback on... Wont be long until the end of March my sweet....[]

][][][] Actually The National Car Test....An Irish MOT.. You walk into the stark, bare, uninviting waiting area head down, afriad to catch a glance of the gathered crowd .. People sneak glances as they try to put faces to the cars .....The waiting room is like a labour ward with expectant fathers looking through the windows into the test bay.. Some stare at their feet - some talk on their mobiles "No dear the car isnt through yet - I'll give you a ring and let you know! ! ... Some look at their watches "This is taking too long, I wonder if the NCT fella found anything dodgey?" ... Then the dreaded garbled, distorted call over the tannoy "Would the owner of Volvo 03-G-11693 come to the checkout desk?" Here goes.. everyone steals another glance as you shuffle past - your heart rate rises, colour out of your face, you feel every step as you approach the desk ... The inspector hold a brand new yellow cert for 2 years - The ecstacy.. No worries until 2013. Poor Avensis man has been told that the car has failed - He drops to his knees and starts bawling uncontrolably ! Ahh yes the NCT.... I do chat some s**t sometimes ....! Its this time of the morning again... [link=http://ncts.ie/the_test.html]http://ncts.ie/the_test.html[/link] and go into NCT manual and you can trawl through 92 pages You reminded me Oli - must get my luggage blind sorted as well......
