oldmandon 1 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Evening All,I was have a gentle (uh hum) 130 mph jaunt down the erm...private motorway whilst trying to get some juice into my battery (see other thead), and I thought to myself, isn't this car well planted, especially for one that is 15 yrs old and as far as I know totally standard.How fast are these things supposed to be...not that I'm that bothered, I just love the noise.....
