Thanks to Redline for a great day (Renton, milsy and Stav for the text) , i was happy enough with the bimmer but have gone quicker at the pod!!

Thanks to Maria for taking me out in Porkie's Turbo. FUCK ME MARIA CAN DRIVE. indicated 188mph!!!!! think that was the fastest you hit all day wasnt it? Shame the timing gear was not strapped on!! THATS the the fastest ive been in a car as a passenger full stop!!


Thanks to you also Porkie mate for letting me drive your 911 Turbo to 150mph TOP MAN!!!!

Nice to meet everyone also, Great guys and girls and great motors!!

Carlos

Love it mate, such a well made car, drives spot on, cant really fault it. For a diesel it really does go. Cant see why anyone would buy the S5 over the oil burning quat! 911 is in the basement covered in dust, hardly been out!

If you ever in Manchester dont forget to give me a shout, i'll get the Gouch Specials in!
