He was in the back and had it poked right past my left arm! He was loving it as he's 'never had a sporty looking car before'. Woah woah sonny, it's miiiiiiiiiine :-)

Got some chrome door handles on order, plus the door mirror chrome covers. Plus, a guy who drinks in my local knows a bloke who will remap the engine for me. He did it to his, (rather safe and boring) Citreon C5 HDi. It went from 110 to 150bhp and is now very swift indeed!

Just wondering what's the safest figure i can reasonably boot up the 120 8 valve to?

My Mondeo coped really well with the boost up in power, savage pace in 4th gear - actually bordering on the ridiculous! Want that feeling in my Vec. I get more kick in 1st and 2nd in the Vec, it's the total opposite to the Mundano, mothing in 1st or 2nd, then mental in the high gears. In the Vectra - i just get very leggy gears which just keep accelarating, but don't have any real shove or pull that i'm used to?

Answers on a postcard please!
