Had a play with that white S3 joining the M25 from the A127, brand spanker. Cars were identical to 135 
wasn't an average speed camera just a mobile camera van
Sorry, I was talking about the cameras all the way along the A127 with the 50mph limit.
ahh my error

I went southend a few weeks back. Anyone reconsie a '53 plate saxo (think it was 53 i remeber it being a late one.
Exhaust on it, slammed and had them like morrette style rear lights. Silver or that dead light blue (was dark).
Anyone know if its a VTR or a VTS? Up it arse at 120 but he was just getting stupid on the a13 (undertaking cars and in out in out) so dropped back. ????

think how much heavier they are in comparison though, off the line they can probabaly achieve that due to the haldex but when on the move they are just 4wd.
Mates Mk4 R32 that i was with on sat weighs over 233kg more than mine.
My Anni:
Power at Flywheel (BHP-lb/ft) : 200 - 237
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1279
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 158.88
Power to Weight Ratio (lb/ft per ton) : 188.28
R32
Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 237
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1512
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 159.26
Power to Weight Ratio (lb/ft Per Ton) : 159.93
Standing start he gains ground as the haldex kicks in. But from a rolling start off a roundabout it was very even and he didnt start to gain on me until triple figs.
sounds a hell of alot nicer though

The Police Chopper was quite amusing.
