Just heard in the western mail about a long haired hooligan roaring around cardiff frequently stopping in petrol stations.

South wales police have taken notice and have just taken delivery of their trio of oversized vectra's

not yet, but it is on my list of things to do. i will have to find the best time when lots of novas and stuff are there.

i drive past burger king on my way back from cardiff.

and i went to halfords yesterday for a lead for the stereo.



oh yeah,i met the mrs at morrisons last eve to do some shopping[she likes it there ] and i was followed in by an old vw something which then stalked me around the car park.weirdos.


p.s. gad.you are right about the speed of the car.i am running it in on new tyres and its pissing down.i seem to be revving between 1-2k and it still pulls like ####.

i was doing about 30 gave it half throttle and it felt like it took off about the same rate as the s2000 in second with my foot down.i realised then that i was in fourth.


this car scares me



p.p.s. dox.that is a holden.mine is a HSV.
