Had my least exciting drive in my car yesterday, due rain and surface water. What was that rain all about!!!

Although I am glad this car has 3 different map settings. As I think it would have been worse with full boost all the time.

Only other issue I am having with the turbo car, is my wife. She will not drive the turbo car and this is costing me to continue running both 2's.  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Tell her to keep it below 3k revs.
It doesn't do much down there.
My Mrs is very skittish in Bee6 all that low down torque and skinny tyres.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Finally after 6 months of ownership my wife drove the turbo'd 2.
Not the smartest move. As she loved the delivery of torque and power as she overtook every car we caught up with, with its a big grin on her face.
She is now planning to use this car more.   s:? :? s:?

My wife will be fine as she never likes to rev the cars too much, about 5000rpm would be the max.
Obviously with the turbo kicking in at 3000rpm, the torque is giving her the conference when over taking.
She also knows the boost mapping can be turned down should weather or road conditions be bad.

Glad you're both enjoying it.
