You seem to be good with those things...and by things, I mean anything that can catch on fire...;)

:lol: I'm really good like that with computers, too! I used my friend's Mac running Linux to check my E-mail, and it crashed. He is a high level computer programmer, and it hadn't crashed in 5 years.

What i'm trying to say is before I got my old mans car off him for over a year I had only driven buses and so I must have gotten into the practice of being of being slow and clearful. So I went out yesterday on a road I know is always empty on christmas, with the sole intention of breaking the habit. Whilst on my way back from Solihull a bumb little racer chick got up behind in a little 1.4 Vaxhual Corsa so close that if I had braked she would have been in me for sure. So I gunned the throtel and went for it (for safty sake, give some room behind me. Road speed + 10% +2 = 35 mph :wink: can't be to careful just incase there's coppers on the site.) all I saw was this little bi*ch behind me go into the distance in my mirror.

I was wrong about the MX3 they do perform it was the donkey behind the wheel Ee Or (donkey sound).

Well, if you have someone nearby with a 200+HP MX-3 that will let you drive it, you'll really know what we're talking about.

There are very few MX3 in Brum let alone one with 200+bhp. Doesnt it make a load of torque steer? :?

Besides it's always woman that seem to drive up my a-- eather on the bus or in the car, it's like they have never heard of keeping a gap. One almost ran straight into my a-- the other day. :confused2:

Yeah, if you don't upgrade your bushings. I have nylatron A arm bushings, and Polyeurethane everywhere else, and there's no torque steer. And withSRD, and filled motor mounts, there's no wheel hop.

I didn't understand that last one. What is an SRD I understand the rest of it.
