Best thing I've seen on E38

Thought i woudl post this up as it is the best thing i have seen on Edition 38 in a long time Classic OWNED response


"The other day in my torquetastic dub I changed up a gear before overtaking five cars in a line without the need to change gear again along a B road because they were doodling along behind a learner driver, it was perfectly safe because it was outside a nice big shiny hospital at the time.

Doubt I could have made it if I was driving a 16v because I would of needed to change down a gear to get the revs up before running out of puff before the last car or for that matter the 20v Turbo as again I would have needed to change down a gear to spool up the turbo and wheel span past the second car before the torque steer kicked in and guided me across the road into the lamppost on the other side of the road."

You missed out the last sentence Mike;

good ol 8v v 16v v 20v v vr6 etc etc

I was just thinking about it and although I owned loads of 8v's VW's to begin with, I went onto G60 (8v) then VR6 (12v) now I have 16v and 20v project...

So kids, the morel of the story is; more valves is best...

Your turn Mike

Can't wait to see/hear it too.
