apparently the acceleration of the 895 isnt so bad, cuz its so featherweight even compared to a mk2... (and has crazy motorcycle gears)
probably whup the pants off a 999cc mk4
Got a road round my way however that's arrow straight and at least a good 1/2 mile long, do fancy getting a photocopy of a large scale ordinance survey map from the library and marking out a 1/4 mile strip accurately on it with some flags, chalk, etc. Just wide enough for 2 cars, though the surfacing / gradient might leave a *little* to be desired. (genuinely a little
)
(...yeah, i got the idea from seeing pikeys do it... but it should be ok for solo time trials, given the amount of times i'd hared up there on the way to work or college)
