Who has a blue 20vt in banbury? Followed me in my vx onto the M40 and turned off at the Oxford turning. We had some blasts while following/overtaking a Focus RS. Was good fun. Always wondered what a 20vt would be like against a vx220 turbo.... Place your bets now please..

I'd have thought the VX would have mullered a coupe up until about 120 at which point the coop would reel you in.



Coopless!

We must all do our part for the planet.

Theres a Blue coop in Brackley, often see it parked outside a house.
Think they work in Banbury as most mornings i see it going the opposite way to me.
Sometimes see it parked up at the gym in Banbury too.

That would have been me obviously we did not exceed the national limit but was good fun hats off to you sir i feel more power is needed if im to catch you next time not a bad result for a standard coupe though.

I work in oxford so spend alot of my time on the m40 frown

I was wondering what your spec was. It looked nice and clean. Always see other coupes when I am not in mine. I was going to the Auto Italia show at brooklands....... in a Vauxhall. I was wondering if that's where you were going until you turned off.

Thanks it's got a miltek exhaust. We ended up visiting friends in London and we ended up going through some long tunnels. Gave it a blast with the windows down and was surprised at how good it sounded myself.
I always thought it felt similar to my coupe in acceleration which kind of stacks up. Shows the benefits of being lighter.
