Bejesus!! Whats wrong with her!!

I have difficulty getting Sam out of Vtec!!............well it is her car!!

Even when I staple all her fuel bills together from the visa card and add them up she still refuses to not use Vtec!

I guess I must just be lucky!!.............or poor!

My wife loves it past 6k rpm,she says it exites her

I gave her the car one nght while I went out on the Pop with the lads. I spotted her cuising through Cardiff with the roof down going hell for leather! She had a bit of a shock when I walked out in front of her at a junction (she was stationary at this point) But when I checked the Speed othe next day, she had covered 110 miles in a night! Happy with that.

I think she's getting bored at my constatn VTech ing now though. Especially when she hurts her neck with the exceleration.

The first time my other half drove my car she deciced to 'test' it on a new stretch of dual carriageway! She took it to 9k rpm in 3rd gear and flew past a mobile speed camera luckily nothing appeared in the post.

To be fair, the first time that I drove the S I had to concentrate on the revs to go up to 9000 rpm! An experience I'll never forget
