the feeling when you have been driving a s*$tbox of a car all day (in this case a 1.0 16v vauxhall Agila) and then drive your own car, i got in mine tonight went up the road and thought F*@k me this is quick, then looked on the avcr and i had only hit about 4psi of boost :-D

yep

I look forward to coming back from holiday for this reason every year after driving a gutless eurobox of a car for a week or two.

:lol: That has to be the only bonus of driving a shitbox. Dont worry though, the S14a will start to feel slow eventually

normally i would agree with you, but i seem to drive the 200 less and less these days, so it's actually a joy to do so, and I'm actually starting to find the love for the car now too

Today I had a works session thingy - and had to take the skyline - I picked up a fella who drives a kia sedona - to say he was impressed when I hit boost was an understatement - so driving my car as rare as it is .. was ace.

I tend to find most everything frustrating and slow.

I dont know whats wrong with me to be honest, Stuart and I have had numerous conversations about it. I get in the van and it feels as quick as it should be, I get straight in the GT3 and whilst it is obviously faster it doesnt feel FAST. In fact the guys at GBH think I have something wrong as I dont find the Orange very quick either. Only time I have been impressed with it was the 5 seconds before it shot me off into the gravel on the first Tsuiso at Silverstone the other day !!!!

hence why Im doing the 1000bhp project just so I can feels the speed again !!!

LOL - although to be honest Im not laughing, its a bit of a shame really

Bladey - you drive fast cars and have driven some serious metal for a longtime .. maybe you are blessed, by not feeling the speed anymore it doesn't hold you back - I'm guessing it's the same for f1 drivers - one of those cars would shock the sh*t out many of us, but to one of them, another day in the office.

As much as i hate to abmit it i agree with james

i have been riding bikes (the two wheeled ones with engines :-D ) for the last 12 years and apart from my current one which is pretty dull compaired to the others imo nothing will compair to the sheer speed of a bike, i get bored driving anything after about 20mins and crave more power constantly

I can defiantly relate to this hugh, at present im dring an f plate volvo 740se estate while waiting to finish my scoob, its hideous lol.

I worry about driving it to close to airbases as pilots may mistake it for an aircaraft carrier and try to land on me. :wack:
