Hi folks,
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Today, I had one hell of a drive in my MR2

- the best drive since completing the rebuild!

I did a round trip of about 260miles, across some very interesting roads

(country lanes, etc).

Also, got to play with the power in the wet and see how well it would put it down! Let's just say I was blown away with how quickly I could go without having to try at all.

eg.

messing about with a well driven Peugeot 106GTi, which is a pretty quick car on country lanes, let alone when you're following in a reasonably powerful MR2, down roads I've never been down, and IN THE WET! Let's just say neither me nor the car twitched an eyelid, it was just so effortless!

To top it off, I managed to average dead on 28mpg! This is for a 340bhp car and using the full power on several occassions, as well as sitting in some stop-start traffic for about half an hour.

The rest was cruising and reasonable speeds down country lanes.

Anyway,

"Nicole" has made me smile again in a BIG way, and my enthusiasm is all renewed.

Just thought I'd share it with you all.
