Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Just popped down to Berwick and back this morning (was going for a meeting with a client in Newcastle, got phoned at Berwick and told it was changed to Manchester due to some BT wiring having a small fire and so therefore there was no way I would make it in time)

Went in my new car. Now I have a grin from ear to ear! That was the second most fun thing I have done in ages. Oh my god - the acceleration is awesome. Admittedly I couldn't go that fast, the A1 and A68 being fairly minor roads, full of traffic, but the ability to overtake in this thing is impressive.

And I do love the noise of the turbo - a gentle whistle above the pretty quiet engine. My sport was much louder. In fact, with the sunroof open I couldn't hear any engine noise at all. Won't get time to put in the empeg and amp until the weekend, and the stock head is a bit crappy, so all I have for the next few days is Radio 1 and Forth FM. But I'm not upset, because Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
