Septic is cockney rhyming slang. Septic tank rhymes with yank, so a septic is an American, even though lots of Americans aren't technically yanks.

Yes, not a putdown Bear, us Brits are never so un-polite

Cockney Slang. A type of rhyming language normally found in the east side of London, and traditionally amoungst the older people there.
Not so commonly used now, but little snips of it still appear in conversations all over the UK.
Now that is a whole different English language and although has its roots over a hundred years ago it is still evolving today.

Great to have you as a guest too

There are a lot of US places with names and counties that duplicate those in the UK aren't there.

Norfolk being only one of many. My hometown is Plymouth England, and sure enough there's one up in Mas.

Cheers all and Mark thanks for the link wil lgive them a shout.

Gadaffi I know what you are saying but to put the power into context my other ride is a 400bhp Monaro which happily has 400ft/lb of torque so more than used to cars with power on the exit, I'm putting it more down to my gear selection, I notice now instead of thinking I should be in 2nd I can use 3rd instead. The roads were a tad cold/greasy last night compared to wet today (where the car has handled much better probably as a result of it not being the greasy type coating an my getting used to it).

I think obviously aside from the power comparrison with the other car is the way in which the chassis setup is a lot tighter so I will get a lot more communication from this than my other ride.

And yes, bitten by the mozzy!
it's not uninterrupted power though , is it?

if you turn all the systems off, and put the power down on exits etc, it will twitch a lot more than an a S2000 I would think
