tonite this guy was drivin a ford escort all dulled up, he kept over takin me in the street i didnt care n he kept say gemini's r slow so i lured him out of town let him over take me so i put my foot down n left him for dead. i stoped down the road to wait for him n his excuse was he only had 4 gears n so wat if i have 5 i didnt evem use 5th i over took him in 4th n killed him..lol so he said lets have a go off the mark so i said rito n asked wat he had under the hood n he had a 1600 with extractors n i said fair enough n had a go. we took off n i still beat him. so now im happy cos the gemini was haulin ass.

why the hell wouldn't a modded gemini lunch an Eski?

a good mate of mine has a worked 2ltr twin 40mm del's eski at the time I had a TG pv with a 2ltr worked with 40mm twin webers, we used to race around the country side often, it was always close but he was just quicker 0 - 80 I would catch and pass him from 80 - 180 due different diff ratio's he had 4.11's and celica steel case 5spd, i had std gemini ratio's. fun thou.

cheers
