Default Pearlescent Mk4 Cab Turbo Stoke area??

Anyone know who's it is? Kind of a green / purple (TVR) pearlescent
paint job.

Just wondered what brake it was running as it gave me a run for me money in the M3 only just pulled away

Thats one very quick cab and sounded really good

IMO a proper 250bhp RST will slaughter an M3 on the road, so that might have only been low 200's.

Even if Cabbies are heavier than a normal RST, we're still talking 2-300kg less than the M3 at least.

I really don't think it would take even as much as 280bhp to nail an M3.
