Just arrived home - drove it about 50 miles home, in the dark, pouring rain, the seat was in the wrong position and I had no hood or sidescreens. However - I can't take the grin off my face. For the first 40 miles I was very careful with the throttle because of the streaming wet roads. Neaer to home however I found a couple of straights and gave it some stick in the first couple of gears. Oh....My.....Good....God..... Once it gets onto the cam - about 4000rpm - and clears it's throat, it feels absobleedinglutely ballistic. A wail like you wouldn't believe as well. Once I've completey removed the drivers seat and chucked it away - a standard requirement for me in cars of this type - I'll be able to give it some. Have to be careful though, you can hear it about a mile off. Jumped into the passat after getting home and it felt like driving a town hall. Not that passats are known for their razor sharp handling anyway ;-)
