   I had the choice of going to Trax or the Classic & sports car day at Castle Combe the weekend after (have to do a course one of those weekends). starting to think i made the wrong choice :-(

The trax 0-60 is about as accurate as me doing it on my stop watch too lol

	Hey, don't dis the Trax 0-60 run, i got a very respectable 6.6 Others will say its a bit out as well - probably the RS turbo Escort owners that only squeeze 9.5 secs out of their turbo'd van engines. The RS turbos remind me of a young lad (probably with a burberry cap and a gold earing) with a nice big breasted lady - Starts off, revs build up - no excitment - come on!, then the turbo kicks in - and then its all over as soon as its started! They have no low down grunt! Anyway, enjoy your new beast - and get that M50 manifold on it. You don't realise the difference untill you compare it to another 2.8. Gf has just got a 2.8 Z3, figs say its quicker and as its slightly lighter it should be (but mine got 6.6 to 60 without the M50 manifold ). I had a good drive of the Z at weekend - Had a short heavy down pour, but as I was on the motorway and I didn't get wet even with the roof down. Got back in mine and it feels like a bigger engine!

	LOL @ Trax 0-60. How many feet behind the proper start line did they start you? ;-) My mates 160bhp Renault 5 recorded a 5.5 to 60 last time lol :D
