was at no-rice with a couple of mates last night, one of them has a fire and ice g60, the other a b reg 8v with a g60 conversion.

dead posh guy there with a blue two tone mk2 reg plate "posh git" you may have seen him at the shows... he now has an S3 conversion sitting under the bonnet.. a challenge/discussion ensued and the I was following the fire and ice and the s3 mk2 up the A3......

His names Richgit, Hes doing the work to my car. From what i heard he took out the G60, The race continued to 150MPH. Hang on ill just check with him

The driver of the fire n ice was a total nutter apparetally, But i would of thaught as far as straight line driving the S3 Mk2 would of kicked the G60s ass.

Richgits car is a nice car tho, Its sorta how mine is shaping, But with different bits and mines all black, You have to respect the work thats gone into that car tho! 6 years in the making and faster than most.

apparently he's had 157 out of the G60, and I know it's not standard ;)

All I know is the fire and ice ws leading when I backed off, I guess you had to be there at the end to see it eh ;D

according to dizzy it's not actually an s3 at all, but a cupra... :-\

WHOAAAAAAAA one second  ;)


1) My plates arent posh git, theyre richgit  ;) (altho that doenst reflect my financial status one bit  :-\)

2) I didnt tell anyone it was an S3 lump, on more than one occasion i overheard others telling others that it was, but It's a 225bhp cupra r lump. Anyway, same thing, whats the deal?

3) Why am i a K N O B? 

4) That G60 was f**king quick, granted. He was pulling away from me, because he definitely had more balls than me in those corners. Im not writing that as in "oh yeah but if i pushed mine properly i would have sailed past him" trying to make up excuses, but yes, i was holding back because doign 130mph is quite an experience on a road im pretty unfamiliar with, and especially round corners when Im still unsure of how my car holds at such speeds.

As we got onto a long straight that I could see far ahead, i nailed it. We passed them at around 135 and went onto 145 before i came off for the m25 junction and back round again. These are all road angel readings so i know they were true values.

Oh, and the car isnt even set up on its 'proper' map yet, and would have been running about 240bhp as i was telling everyone. I said 300bhp in about 2 weeks when its going to Vince @ Stealth.
