Don't get me wrong ;I'm not a boy racer but I decided to give it some today .Car on 1400 miles and had a new beemer estate behind ,probably a 3 series but didn't know model .Out of Dover, for any that know it, up jubilee way from Dover Docks .No traffic about which was another reason I went for it . I moved over to left lane and he stayed in right giving it some . I planted it in 3rd gear ,and off we went ..Cut a story short, towards the top of the hill he was about 50 yards behind , he had been trying hard and don't think he liked it much . Got upto silly speeds, I know it's a bit crazy ,but then I wouldn't have done if traffic was busy
Mind you when i got home the trip reading stated 19.5 mpg !!
The car does shift ,it was the 1st proper blast through the gears I've given it so far
