[K19NE G]

Was watching 5th Gear last night and spotted a black CTS on the 0-60 record breaker part of the show, then noticed the distinctive reg! How did you get on Gemma???

:o Is 5th Gear repeated at all later in the week? I was beginning to thing Gemma had maybe sold the CTS as we haven't heard from her for a while.....

I'd assume it was still her or her hubby driving as she had that reg on her old Escort cabrio... I'm just interested to hear what her time was etc. as she had the K&N Typhoon kit...

I remember seeing her dyno score and she topped 200bhp I *think* and all she did was fit a typhoon and a TTE back box :)

EDIT: Just found Gemma's old thread about RR her CTS and she says she got 201 bhp @ 7733 rpm , 146 ilbs/ft peak torque !

but unfortunately the link to the graph she posted is now dead :(

Love that video with the music!

If you got a poor 0-60 run, you can say that you got an extra passenger on board!

if i feel up to it , i may take her to santa pod at weekend :) ya think its wise to do 1/4 mile runs halfway through me pregnancy !

I read from a medical journal that subjecting a second trimester human fetus to abnormal G-force is beneficial to the baby neurodevelopment---esp if the baby is going to be a bloke!

You are trying make everyone jealous here!

First you told everyone that you are pregnant which it is impossible for us being blokes :ffs: and now you actually star in a German channel which will never happen to any of us here

Oh! I also heard about regular exposure to tyre smoke and 'HIGHLY TUNED' exhaust noise can also stimulate sensory development (mainly cranial nerves 1 and 8) of a male fetus!

he'll be driving before walking at this rate lmao

when your a female , in a very male environment u do get some chances for different things !

and if my hubby could of been preggy and not be i would have loved it ! ive never been so ill on my life lol

You will lov it in the end! It's a bit like tuning car--lots of painstaking work to save up for the bits but the end-product is unique and make you smile everyday you play with it !
