    FCUK!! either that was fixed. the 5's got a boost leak, or the twingo really is better! im sure steve mentioned it was running more than std boost too!!

    so what boost was the 5 actually running.?
    what boost does the twingo run as std.?

    Big Steve I love you......my neighbours are all stuck up and toffee nosed . They look at the 5 in despair when it’s sat on the drive, and wonder why I spend so long cleaning and messing with it.

    If they all watch 5th gear, they will all now be much wiser and my street acceptance has just risen!

    Not bad thinking, but if Steve's car is running what it reads on his profile i.e
    Turbo typeT2 - T25 HybridBoost Pressure (@ manifold)15psiThe standard 5 would have been totally fecked against this Luke warm shopping trolley .

    where im working now i keep some magazines on the front so people can read them, and these mags have features in them with 5s in, and when people see them they have fond memories of them and have nice things to say and they always go and have a look around the back when i tell them ive got one

    one guy last week says he used to own a black raider, thing is its not the first time someone has mentioned a black raider? do they exist?

    funny you should say that.! when i was in my last years of school i used to see no end of black gtt's with black speedline with polished rims! you could call them black raiders!!??

    i very much doubt that there where any out the factory black raiders though.!

    For those of you who missed it on telly last night & those of you not in the UK i've uploaded it onto YouTube

    Thanks for all the great comments guys, i was really chuffed to read them, i think she did us all proud & hopefully made some non RTOC people think about these little french fighters again!!

    Just to clarify a few things, the car was fitted with 4 brand new Uniroyal's in original 195 55 13 fitment days before the shoot so the tyres weren't old or off theyre just CRAP tyres and even on the day Jason said to me that it was the tyres that let the car down.

    Secondly thanks to Andrew Cooke she was blessed with some Ferrodo DS2500 brake pads prior to that day also so the brakes were feeling at their best.

    Finally the boost is set at 15psi as indicated on my profile so she was going well alright.

    I think on another dry day it would have been much much closer.

    Anyway it certainly sounded better, did anyone hear the GTT Angry Burble as it went past camera! Loved it!!

    Proud as punch Big Steve
