uncomfortable is ACE! I am with you on this one Lee,

driving a car should be about driving, the more uncomfortable the seat the more feedback you get from the car - the harder you can go!

punch it!

I'm with you here too!!! My only problem with punch it is that there are no marshalls to flip me over again. Still, no harm in trying!!! Had a courtesy car out yesterday while mine was serviced, i don't want non sporty seats(or car) ever again.
What colour lee, or is that a daft question?

speaking of non-sports seats, the most hilarious thing I have seen was when the Stig did a fast lap of the TG track in a tracktor, he slide off the side of the seat going round a corner.... so funny.

and there was another one where someone ended up in the passenger seat while taking a corner in another program, cant remember the details... but that was funny as...

A lad i knew from school crashed his car and ended up in the passanger seat, the police were looking for the driver until he came round andd told them it was him driving

at least you have less chance of dieing when you get a little too excited, you can only die by going into a corner too fast, i can die coming out too

FWD with a prop shaft?

rear engine front wheel drive? new front tires every 3 miles

If anybody wants uncomfortable, I have some Corbeau Forzasport 2000 seats in a box at home somewhere. They were hardly used, and were a tad uncomfortable in a Mini with full race suspension..... but it was so uncomfortable it was ace!!!

Yeh with the Mondeo, it makes no fuss about it so its easy to let the MPH climb. Although im getting into the habit of setting cruise at something sensible, warm my bum, and just glance at the road every few minutes incase it needs pointing in another direction.

Im wondering about Bluefin for it, up the BHP by 30 and the NM by about 50, and it'll be even more economical!
