Default When you drive a slower car for the day...............

doesnt it make your car feel fast?

I had a little mk6 fiesta as a courtesy car from Ford todays while mine was having a service, while its nippy through the gears it couldnt pull a skin off custard on the main roads

Got in mine and its like woooshhh up to 60mph already

I know what you mean I used to run around in a 950cc Nova, the Cossie was menatl after driving the Nova.

I've now got a 1.4 Fiesta and it feels really wierd after driving the Nova as we still have it and I use it every now and then.
