Default the old t4.....

had car out tonight for the first time in a month or so


started first time,and smelt the usuall v-power,let it warm up on the first 15min ,then................gave it a bit of a roasting down the back roads,never missed a beat and everything worked...lol

i honestly forget how good the car is when i dont use it,nothing better than a cold night when air is dense,

one things for sure il never sell my car

did you put any petrol in before giving it a thrashing?

petrol goes off if not used, and im sure v-power is one of the ones that does pretty quickly.

I had heard a rumor that optimax in particular lost its edge quite quicky then maintened a similar level to other fuels

I took mine out last saturday for the first time in a couple of weeks, i had started to get used to it and wonder wether it felt as fast as it used to before i took it out.

As soon as i got to the nearest dual carriageway and gave it some, it felt awsome!!!

Cant beat the feeling of driving it for the first time in ages!!
