wuvvum Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I once had (an indicated) 96 out of a 1.5D Citroën AX when I got stuck in a line of fast-moving German traffic in the outside lane of the M4. It was still pulling at that speed too, but it also felt as if it was about to leave Earth's orbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketeer Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 I'm very happy at 65-68 mph. This 205 might be able to get up around 90mph but I don't want to be the person to find out. Hopwood Park is another services I can tick off the list. Reasonable but nothing to write home about. They're automatically marked down for having upstairs toilets though. I guess the problem is that Tebay has set the bar so high. Everywhere's a disappointment after Tebay. chaseracer, Jim Bell, Split_Pin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketeer Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 I didn't like it, it felt odd, can't explain why. It damns the services (whose name I've already forgotten) with faint praise when the most memorable thing about it is that the toilet is upstairs.

Bucketeer Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Will that be faster than the 205?The V8 Audi and the XUD 205 are very similar cars in many ways, but at a push I think the A8 might just have the legs.The 205 though is just as fast as the Audi when they're both doing 68mph. Currently, I have stopped to have a lovely little nap. Jim Bell, chaseracer, Scruffy Bodger and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehedgehog31 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Sorry boys, I didn't bid on the 106 after all. Sellers comms weren't exactly great and didn't want to put the collection party in a potentially awkward position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketeer Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 I thought I'd try a picture collage type thing of my drive to Glasgow and back, see if it was any less dull an idea than it sounded. I took a picture every hour. Except when I forgot. Stanky, Supernaut, Saabnut and 17 others 17 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
