Must be the drivers down in South East Kent but in the nearly two years I have had the car I have only been in that particular situation once.

A Megane Coupe . In the end he over (or should I under) took me by going up a section of coned off dual carriage way. He got the finger from the woman who was driving the car in front of me - a Civic Type R

Other than that I don't think anyone down here knows where the accelerator is

Here, in the mid-Atlantic states, the S comes with signs in the front and sides also. Apparently the one in the front, tells drivers in front of me to slow down to below the speed limit. The sign on the side of the car, visible to the slow guy I'm trying to pass, says speed up and try to cut the S2000 off.

Zero, as regards HKS, I can go one better than that! I was out last night and got stuck on a dual carriageway behind an old Merc C class which resolutely removed to move out of the outside lane. He was doing 60 or so, but there was no reason for him to be there - the road was very quiet. So, after a couple of minutes of being patient, and him showing no sign of moving, I dropped into second, with the engine revving hard - almost as if by magic, the indicator comes on and he moves over!

I think it's fair to say he heard me...... If the car in front can hear it, I'm sure the car behind can!

CAn you hear the HKS?

You get a lot of that - just drop a gear or just blip the throttle whilst ppotling along and people turn around, cars move out of your way.

The exhaust sounds awesome when following from behind! - According to my friend in his T sport... he said that he can hear every gear change along with every throttle blipped down change!

Tunnel?!

Stop it Frisky! I've still got 45 minutes until I get home!


The tunnel is just pure bliss with the HKS!
