I live in Broughton and will be hosting the BBQ tomorrow!

Bring her along for sure Mark. However, the Klan has been founded on petrolheads and so inevitably cars will be the main topic of conversation. Besides, I don't really think I can talk about much else. No good with knitting and manicures...

What would you prefer a Italian sports car or a old English classic.

I have never driven a T.V.R and would like to. You need to have thigh muscles like Geoff Capes to push the clutch down on Aston and the red one is f1 with launch control.
I have mailed you. I have some jobs to do tomorrow and if all goes well i may attend if allowed and you would be more then welcome to have a rip in whatever i am out in. I will just sit in garden and prey.

Mail just replied!

Well, when my Tiv is back from her enhancement surgery we can swop! Woo hoo!

Ignore these feeble minded people like Mark, the jealousy of seeing such great driving skills can force them to post stupid at times

Charming doode! Hopefully all you Kettering regulars will go or I'll go off in a huff and sulk.

Are we having a mini-hoon? If so, how far?


Was thinking about 50 miles of swoopy B and C roads. An hour to an hour and a half depending on depends... that ok?

There is no rev limiter on the Tuscan. It has fancy change lights but no rev limiter, hence Justin's cautiousness when blipping hard. Doesn't want to melt the Cadbury's Fingers again.

Stephanie is right Gary, the change lights are able to be set for whatever limits you think are right, middle of the dash theres a light pod above the speedo. It has amber lights that you set to mid change, and then the big led one in the middle, that will almost blind you. I move these around to how reckless I am feeling towards the car. Stephanies drive the big red was set to 6500rpm but never even saw pre-change on her drive. (Dont forget I wasnt feeling too good so fair play to her)
