Default Swiss2K.....help!

Let me start by saying Merry Christmas to all my friends in Switzerland and Germany!
Now Swiss, I came here to give you that message and found a message about an MGTF? I have a 1955 MG TF 1500. Don't understand the TF thread...what is it saying?......english please? F20C in TF or XPEG (or XPAG) in S2000? People obviously don't agree but what's is about by the tone of the thread...so what's it about?

Please excuse me for intruding.......just had to wish Swiss a Happy Holiday.

Hello Utha S2K,

no answeres, so I'll try one.

The thread youre reffering to deals with the new MGTF, not the 1955 version and it's performance in the "track test" of a german TV car magazin. The discussion is largely about the disadvantages the S has on that special, very unrythmical and narrow race track. Nearly nothing is said about the MGTF.

Merry Chistmas from Germany! Guido

Hey Utah,

since i launched the thread, lemme light ur candle

the new MG TF roadster (160 bhp) placed a better time than the s2k on the German TV mag's test track, which I found shocking.

basically the xplanation is that the track is so tight u can barely VTEC on it and the guy in the s2k had it's ass all over the place...probz a lot of fun, but not good for posting great times :/

thatz it mate

.dave.

The track time is the real time! Only in the video clip they do a lot drifting. But the track is to fast for the 1st gear and to slow for the 2nd, one clubmember did drive the track too.

So dont worry, on real racetrack's in Germany the S2000 did a very good job, and beat oftem 300+HP cars.
