Default Thought this was quick untill........................

Got a kid brother in America who likes his toys. He just bought a Corvette ZO6 500bhp 475lb ft.


Was recently there on holiday and took it for a tour of the local highway.
Trying to compare it with my 430bhp cossie. I have to say that it impressed me. What a sound and the torque is unbelievable. Have to say that it was the fastest and most exciting thing i ever drove or rode untill this..........................








2 Days later. Different state. Different rules.

Went snow mobiling in New Hampshire and this thing leaves the vette for dead. These have got to be one of the fastest accelerating M/Cs there is. Never had so much fun. If every you get a chance to ride one of these you have to take it.
Unbelievable.
Regards Paul.

How you doing Romeo. Hows the love life. Good job your ambidextrous.

Have you checked with the environment agency to see if its OK to run your car this year with all the smoke. Someone told me Peterborough steam engine rally was on but i said it was only Ary taking his cossie to Harveys for a set up.

See you soon big fella.

The studs in the drive belt gives it a totally different ride from one,s without. With the studs you get instant motion and far better braking.
We went on a 5 day ride up to Canada and back. 18 snow mobiles in our group. All petrol heads.
They prefer night riding as you can see oncoming lights sooner so you can take the bends quicker.
Only problem with night riding is that they send the snow groomers out at night and they take up the complete trail. You can,t get by untill the next junction.
Best holidays ive every had.
