The only thing that ever overtook me on Haldon Hill was a Vantage howling away and I was well into 3 digits - I enjoyed the sound it made overtaking me though...
That left hander combined with the lane reduction sorts out the BMW's and Audi's to the lets back off lane and then you descend and they bottle out real early on the first lefthander as you watch in the mirror.
Richard,
Whow! Telegraph Hill in that plus 8 of yours makes me feel quite envious.
My Volvo v70 180bhp will romp away up there but I dare not take it to three figures. The 4/4 1800cc struggles and is lost between 4th and 5th gear. Morgasmic its not.
Graham there is very little difference in bhp between the Volvo and the 3.9Ltr +8, probably 10 but the weight difference and CofG is quite considerable I would say.
There was only two things I missed when I had my 4/4 Sport compared to my first +8 - the surefootedness they are just planted and this present one with the 7" X 16" Centre Locks & adjustable Koni's improves things further still and it's this confidence inspiring feel that allows this sort of cornering, but only in the dry...the soundtrack being the second.
You will be enjoying twice my mpg figure of 19 Graham so you are well positioned for making more of your entertaining logs
for us all to enjoy.
