a few months ago we learnt that a 1.8 zetec with 130k on the clock got to 75 quiker than the posing bxxxxrd in his Ferrari, and he was slower to 90
than my mate with a 2litre
Oh then we got screwed
I learned that I need better silencing, sdome earplugs and to go around my car and dampen any vibrations in order to be able to enjoy my car for more
than 10-15 minutes without going deaf...
Oh, and it has a massive hesitation in first gear on full throttle.

I learned when it rains I get wet, and its the only time I can get the back end to step out
Good fun though

I learnt that Spa breaks for the wife's birthday cost the same as an Emerald ECU Where did my Locost fund suddenly disappear to?
I learned that I am a complete coward.
I wont press the button on my screen that says "leave the company"
