You have only two valid excuses for him staying with you:

a)It was raining
b)The Stig was driving

Otherwise I shall call you a big girl. You big girl.

biglaugh hehe


j/k mate, if the road was clear of traffic, I can see how a well driven Evo could keep an R6 in sight...

from a standing start and on a straight an R6 would get the better of an evo by a noticiable amount(assuming it was standard) i would say a 500 bhp evo would be able to keep up with an R6 at all times, anyway assuming it was standard the R6 would get the better of it on a straight road, put corners into the equation though and its a differen story, i remember getting thoroughly embarased by an FQ400 when i was in my Griff.

Yes, but if the Griff had had the same number of horses it'd have been a different matter. TVR power is quoted in 'fibs'.

No, no. no... There was no competition really. It was only when I stopped for a cuppa, and mended a puncture that he caught me up!!
