I'm trying to resist, but am having to face it that i need a diesl car for commuting but feel that it would be the end of my 'boy racer' days and feel obliged to buy the furry slippers! Is there other like minded people that take a diesel car out onto the track? Admitedly its unlikely to be anything sporty but i'm sure it'll still be fun
Hi Guys

There is nothing wrong with running a diesel it's the future!
Just got back from this years Gumball 3000 Rally in a 330d BMW with a uprated ECU and a full system it's on an 04 plate so has the latest 208bhp engine.With mods running at 254bhp on the dyno with over 500Nm of torque.
Ferraris and Porsches from 70mph upwards are no problem.
0-60 under 6 sec's

If you dont belive me!!

Check out my video's of this years rally onboard camera,Just launched the site so being updated daily
