Well, as you can see, the guys at Greens have been fettling again and what a fettle it is...Yep, I've been blown.

Right, first impressions, based on the 30 mile motorway drive from Holborough to Home...

F'KIN A++++++++++++++++

The car now has so much ooommphh its unreal, believe it or not, 6th gear even pulls very substantially indeed. (standard 3.45 diff still)

And in 4th/5th at about 60, put your foot down for more than few seconds and you'll probably acheive gravitational break away speed. Pulling away from lights, well, I haven't tried that yet, but you can feel that it wants to be let off the leash.

The sound... Suck me, it sounds good.. when you hear the induction and screws winding up, you know there's something special at the end of the right foot. Unfortunately, the sound of the exhaust drowns it a little, but you know its there.

As for drivability, when in "normal" mode, you dont really notice any difference, still real easy to drive as before, but you know you can unleash hell at any time.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone at Greens for yet another star performance. You guys are the best..

I know that Greens are known for their good service but isn't that taking things too far?

I am jealous now, wonder how long I can hold off from having a little work done

So when you going to take me out and show me what a real car is like then BO55?

oh oh - the supercharger wasn't enough he's had to go put dodgy badges on it as well - you know they're just adding weight and slowing you down :-)

To save on weight you could take the supercharger out and give it to me.

If I wanted to offset the weight of the S/C and badge, the first thing to go would be the spare wheel

Fantastic choice. Do let us know what power you're expecting to see.

You now have a veritable 'rari basher
