with it being able to do 122mph in 3rd it'll save me doing an extra gear change

M59's got the same ratios as the M56H so wouldn't of made any difference. On a good run i'm normally changing to 4th just before the line which is a waste

[LiamT4]

Thought it was because of your 19s that it could get over the line in 3rd?

[T5frankie]

Will whip that Jap ass as well lol

you could if you learn to drive in time lol but dave wont get quicker than a 13.7, anyway no fun if i bring that, i have to get my breathing on the s70r sorted
