Or in more restrained parlance, I would very much like to extend my good wishes and thanks to Big Russ.

I met Russ today and he ripped out VeeKay's ECU (Engine Control Unit), returning it some time later with a re-map, and boy, does she go now

This is how I think the car's performance should have been from initial design. I loved my Synergy but this just seems so smooth and effortless. Power to spare for acceleration for overtaking or... just because I want to go faster.

Full throttle from stationary in 'Sports Mode' was erm... interesting as well

Russ, being the gentleman that he is, provided hospitality in terms of a welcome coffee as soon as I arrived. He also did the re-map for the 'Club' price which was also very kind.

It was also nice to meet John and have a chat... oh and some geezer called stocktake, or takestock or something like that turned up uninvited as well

Nice to see you Dave

I've just told my insurers about the upgrade and they have noted it but have not increased my premium, which is always a bonus

If you have a diesel 75 or ZT, I can thoroughly recommend the re-map as the finishing touch to what is, by any standards a superb car.

Thanks again Russ.

Nice to see you too Paul, it has been a while Looking forward to longer chats this coming Year

Sometimes I wish I had a diesel ; )

Looks like you're enjoying your car even more now Paul.
What's the torque now? Do you have any numbers to share?

Don't give up, there's always a solution Andy. In this case just replace the engine!

Hi Jürgen,

Sorry my friend, bo be perfectly honest, I'm not that bothered about power and torque values. I'm no longer a boy racer and I don't want launch control or a big exhaust

Seriously Jürgen, it just drives beautifully and has the ability to put an even bigger grin on my face

Re the appearance of that Stocktaking geezer, did he have his hip flask with him?

Paul, you're just like a Rolls Royce representative in the good old days. When asked about the engine power their answer has always been sufficient.

That's the important thing.
