• Presumably you don't do 0-60 in 30+ seconds, stick to speed limits and engine brake as much as possible?

    Depends really - the car can go fast from 0-60 but that would also mean replacing the front tyres for every third run to Saino's.

    I observe all speed limits apart from the motorway, generally, where I tend to end up around 85mph.

    My dad taught me to always match the revs when changing down (he'd learnt to do this driving non-syncromesh lorries), so I do go down through the box and engine brake a lot - I tend to give the brake pedal a light press just to show the car behind that I'm slowing, but the majority of the braking is compression braking on the engine.

    i rev match obsessively... even if braking i will heel-toe brake and throttle with one foot, clutch with the other
