Me and my mate in his Rover went for our usual cruise to Pontefract last night. We always have a steady cruise their, fill up with petrol, cruise round abit then have a rally back.
For a 1.4 16v with only a IK & exhaust his car is pretty damn quick, and runs low to mid 16s at York.
Anyway we'd seen this bazzed up 106 go speeding off in the direction of home so we gave it 3 or 4 mins then chased after it. Anyhow on the way we caught up with this Celica so he booted it. My mate was losing ground to it slightly but I was closing up on it really easy. We raced back for quite a while then caught up with the 106 in Ackworth, and he was booting it so I decided to go past them both. I got past them quite easily, which I was quite suprised at, and my mate did the GT4 aswell as he's a good drive so he held 15mph extra into a corner and went round him as the Celica was accelerating again.
It's the first time I've properly tested the handling on the car, and it's bloody excellent. The 106 and Celica had absolutely no chance round the corners, I was going round roundabouts at well over 50mph without a hint of over or understeer. Great lol.
See ya
