First real clashes in the 2.0 hybrid...

well after two years of ownership you would think i would have come across a few cars, but today was quite strange...
firstly came across a Civic Type R, first time i have been in a situation where one has "tried"...both on our own...

Was very close... i was behind him single road, and was pulling on him in every gear - but very slight.

Second - 306 GTi-6 - better result, and once again pulling on him in every gear. I was two up, and he was on his own.

then i came across a Golf VR6 both on our own again... this was much closer, but then i did have a full tank of petrol. Once again slightly pulling on him in every gear...

Then lastly i can across a new golf 2.0 TDI... yep TDI, and this was with a full tank of petrol again, and i have to say these things pull pretty well!! did pass him, but not where i thought "easy".

So quite eventful day lol...

Hmmmm Chris I can keep with Type Rs, was it tuned?

You thrashing my car fella! tut tut! :shock:

class....whats the general spec on the car mate ??

yeh, but keeping and actaully pulling on him are two completely different things... i would have passed him in forth... but obviously being a single road i backed off...
dunno if it was tuned, you cant tell.... but i was pleased...
to actaully be pulling on a type R to 110 was pretty good going i think??

as for thrashing it, im merely keeping it in form :wink:
why have a 2.0 which you pottle around in..?

Agreed Chrissy boy, I will admit they normally start pulling on me at higher speeds and there is no way I'd be able to take one in the CRX.

Ladies and Gents this car moves very well indeed! :D

you looking forward to it now mate?? - im gonna miss it i tell you, especially when i know how well it performs

Yeah, can't wait at all, still waiting to get the Del Sol in the bodyshop so I can get it up for sale, it's driving me nuts as I'm not overly patient with anything!

sounds like u having fun mate. lol


wouldnt have thought the vr6 would have caused any probs tho....until ur above 130 anyway, cos they fly after that. my mate has 1, chipped/filtered etc, i can leave him for dead. but get us on the long runs and he jus comes past usually bout 130....and proceeds to leave me lol

LOL, must have been a good one, did just fill up with 40 quid though...... plus i didn't really have a clear run...... as it were.

tomorrow morning ill be looking out for him.... love coming to work now he he

Chris look after my baby plz! :(
