Well, I've not had any power upgrades Simon and my reactions won't be any quicker - but the cold air might make a difference. Lol.
If I've not got any other commitments and the roads are passable (have you seen the long range forecast?) I'll come on down.
Regards
Robert

Be good to see you there if you make it.

Robert, we kind of have to go on this date (come what may with the weather), as the Lad got his paid for by his other half for xmas, on this specific date.

Wish I still had the 190, his stock ST will murder my 1.8T

What's a good quarter mile time for snow? 45 seconds? I might be able to do that!

Default 116 vs. 131 Diesel. Any Takers?

I've always been intrigued by the statement that the upgrade to 131 makes a significant (noticeable) difference to performance.

Are there a couple of people out there willing to test this?

I'm auditioning for a job on "Mythbusters"

Default Still Hoping to Make Santa Pod 22nd February

Things still a bit up in the air at the moment, but hope to make it down. Especially as Jim (J1mbo) has said he wouldn't mind coming down with me, too - and before anybody says anything - yes, he has entrusted me with his life before!

What time are you aiming to get there, Simon?
