To be honest this thing sometimes makes me wonder if it ever will change up. Still enjoying finding out though
If that's your reason for losing the 1/4 drag race with him then I'll take your word for it....just don't fall for it again and watch the rev counter, he won't see which way you went (anyway if it's vaguely damp the TVR will be slithering around in glorious noise and smoke not going anywhere for at least 30seconds!)I've followed @Lee before and messed up my gear changes because I was too busy listening to his engine and ended up changing when he did.
To be honest, me changing gear wasn't particularly helping anyway as he disappeared in to the distance....

Too bad you didn't take some video with your I-phone. (You know how I like to drive with the vid camera.........)Lee asked if could give him a lift back from dropping his TVR off at a specialist for a good once over. Couldn't get in the Zed quick enough to get to Basingstoke
It's hard to compare a Z3 or even an ///M to a TVR Cerbera as essentially the TVR is "supercar" territory. I'm still waiting for the passenger seat ride as we didn't have time tonight, so my experience is solely limited to following - or trying to follow him! Luckily a lot of it was in traffic so I kept up for a lot of the journey.
First the obvious thing is the noise it makes. I've followed his ///M with the Hayward and Scott exhausts and other engine tinkerings, and that was loud and sounded utterly incredible. I have now experienced possibly the loudest street going car I'm likely to ever experience and the thing sounds epic on an whole new level of epic. The sound when backing off throttle is like a machine gun, decelerating down a slip road little flames in the exhausts were spotted. I jumped when he floored it under a motorway bridge and am surprised my ears weren't bleeding afterwards/
Honestly we were sat in traffic like two school kids giggling as he blipped the throttle. The young guy in the Astra VXR trying to not look like he was looking even wound his window down to listen a little better...
Awesome car...
I can't use the video camera BEFORE he goes to sleep or he'll never GET TO SLEEP...............Yeah Frankie, especially when miller's asleep !
Tony.
The look on his face is priceless. What are you two going to do to occupy us all through this coming winter then?
Just Skyped you but no ans. Wanted to wish you well on your gathering. Seems like its turning out to be something big. You can tell me about it in Florida. FrankieCan't think why mate.
Tony.
