My Bro’s been teasin me for weeks sayin he recons his TVR is quicker, Basicaly there’s a fast single carage road with roundabouts at 1 mile intervals. On one section there’s a bridge half way down and the test is how far you can get b4 the bridge. “bridge test” I was settin the record at 124 and he recond he got 135, then again hav you guys seen my bike speedo… :lol:
Any he was colse behind as was came into this roundabout, 3rd gear. On the exit foot to the floor. Looked back to see him givin it some opposite lock must have pulled out 100m by the end of the strech, Pulled into the petrol station he said he couldn’t catch me so I said on the way back he could go first. So comin up to the roundabout to go right, 2nd gear (few cars just went past) on his tail through the roundabout. He pulls out 2 cars on the exit, spin up 2nd a bit. Into 3rd tad spin not much. Now on his boot lid straight past 2cars. Both flat out and the gap was exactly the same, he couldn’t get away and I certainly couldn’t pass all the way to 135..
If we had more room top end he would have canned me though. But bearing in mind it’s a 5.0 V8 pushin 340 bhp+ I thought I did ok… :lol:
