What have done towards your prep?

late 80s travelling in France in my super state of the art Turbo D Range Rover, the Turbo badge had challenged the testosterone of yet another Gilles Villneuve wannabe behind the wheel of a Renault 5 GT.....

Right up my exhaust and trying to get past at every available opportunity, try the Renault might, Solihull's finest refused to be overtaken. Then, after some masterful driving on my part up a particularly windy hill the R5 dropped off the pace, billowing steam :-) If he was Villeneuve, then he's just discovered that I was Hunt on a particularly good day..... bet he spelled my namesake's name with a C though???

Plainly the Rangie had been in need of stretching her legs though as she was certainly running faster, turbo-lag reduced, and the exhaust purr far more satisfactory.

On arrival at the port, on a walk around inspection of this veritable predecessor of the RR Sport, I discovered the reason for the beast's sudden sportiness.....a missing section of exhaust: In all 4 ft long and including a heavy rear silencer! British engineering....you can always rely on it to do the job when its needed most:-)
